Extremist positions on trans issues. To quote Sam Harris: "Congratulations, Democrats. You have found the most annoying thing in the fucking galaxy and hung it around your necks."[1]

I don't think that leaving trans people alone is extremist.

Exactly how have trans people affected your life, directly?

I have worked with (born male) non-binary people who alternate between wearing male and female clothes. I have seen them enter the female toilets, and win awards for women.

But tbh, this is a daft question. It's like saying you can't have a policy position on gun control unless someone has shot at you.

> who alternate between wearing male and female clothes

Does a woman in a t-shirt and jeans also cause you great emotional distress? Does it become more if she wore a dress the day before?

I'm going to agree with the other person who replied. You're not a serious person.

No emotional distress, but obviously it does for women who have to share toilets and changing rooms with them. That has been well documented and isn't a controversial position, apart from amongst male to female trans people.
