So this morning, I'm on the phone to a family member and we're talking about women and said family member says that most women would prefer men to propose. I said, yes, but they're victims of the system they live under and that that's just patriarchy doing what it does. He asks how and I explain that the system doesn't like strong women who lead and that back in the day, women would often lead, it's only now that this has been suppressed and then I mention how I'm a proponent of female led relationships. So this obviously opened the door to questioning my sexuality. There was some back and forth and I mention how women that don't fit the western beauty standards often how their gender questioned, which only reinforced the point I'm trying to make about the suppression of women. You must look and act a certain way to be a woman and if you don't do that, you're perhaps not a woman or perhaps he's not a real man. So I say how I'm an advocate for equality and trans rights and how things targeting trans people often affect unrelated men and women. I mentioned how men lost shooting in the Olympics back in the day and then introduced gender segregation. Then it got into an argument about trans with me advocating for segregation based on weight and skill rather than gender. He disagreed saying it's unfair. I gave the example that for javelin, if someone is 9 stone and throws an average of 50 metres they should compete against other people that are 9 stone that throw an average of 50 metres. No. So I explain that this is just prejudice. Then came the doozy. If their young daughter was going to the toilet and a "trans man" went into the toilet, if I didn't intervene, then I shouldn't be trusted around his child. I ask why trans women can't use the toilet too? He says just to be safe, some people pretend to be trans so they can molest. I ask would you act the same if it was a Catholic priest? I say that I would either stop everyone or no one, but I'm not stopping someone just because they're trans. Then it was back to questioning my sexuality. Fuck man, I'm tired. WTF is wrong with people?
