Trans People Shouldn't be Lectured About Anything, Including "Biological Reality"

Biological reality is not the only reality that matters when we talk about trans people. There is also the reality of how trans people see themselves. Why is one reality more important than the other?

Let's say your family and your community all expected you to adhere to certain norms. Let's say they all expected you to wear a reckle and a beard and become a Torah scholar. Would you be "denying reality" if you wanted to wear jeans and become a pilot instead? Of course not.

Same here. All of society is expecting a trans person to act and dress and live one way but the trans person doesn't feel it and wants to live another way instead. You can call it denying reality if you want but I think it's actually called "being true to yourself"
