    @dhfir @SuperDicq You do though.

    You have to recognize that being born female leads to a person having certain experiences in life due to sexism/misogyny, that people born male don't have, so you can accurately describe how sexism works, and do something against it. Otherwise you're just turning Women's Rights into All Lives Matter aka "let's not speak of issues uniquely affecting a specific group of people and pretend like there's no specific injustices happening against them." You also have to respect that some women don't want male people in certain spaces, especially changing rooms and whatnot, where they may be in a state of undress; or sports, in which having a male body brings significant physical advantage.

    You have to recognize that sexual orientation is primarily based on people's actual anatomic sex, and leave homosexual people alone, instead of trying to pressure them into accepting opposite-sex partners by saying "trans women are women and being a lesbian means loving women, so you can't exclude trans women from that."

    You have to allow people to describe and talk about reality the way it appears to them, like calling a man a man and speaking of him as "he," insofar it doesn't turn into harassment. Best analogy: Religion. Going up to the face of your devote Christian coworker and saying "lol imagine believing in sky fairies" all the time? That's harassment. Saying "oh, I'm an atheist, I don't believe in a god" in a normal way, when they expect you to verbally validate the existence of their god somehow? That's just your freedom of belief and expression. You have to apply the same to the "trans women are women" belief; you can't force others to validate it.

    You have to acknowledge that someone having extremely negative feelings towards their own body isn't something natural to simply validate, and offer endless medical procedures trying to "fix" it. (Procedures of which some have extreme side effects, risk factors, and potential for regret due to being irreversible.) Empathetic therapy based on self-acceptance might alleviate some of the symptoms and make less drastic interventions (like only going on HRT instead of all the way to SRS) or even no medical intervention (just dress the way you want, without HRT) may end up being sufficient for the person given sufficient mental health support. A medical intervention on a physically healthy body, to alleviate a psychological issue, is a highly questionable approach, and should always be the last resort in case nothing else works.
