Change sometimes sucks, and it’s hard to be asked to change how you think, particularly when you are _certain_ you are Right. Especially when you are wrong. I will accept transgenders if: 1. They and the pro-trans people accept that trans people do not belong competing in the sport of their transitioned-to gender 2. That hetero cis men can find trans people repulsive without being called a bigot, and _can say so in public_ 3. That trans people don’t start trying to pass themselves off as “cis,” or regular people and deceive them into a relationship. I never wanna go to a bar and find out that the girl I’m about to lay down game to isn’t a girl. That’s disgusting. 4. That given their small proportion of the population, their representation in media reflect that. What’s next: Playboy putting one of them on, to show “solidarity with equality?” Ew, no, never. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/on-the-topic-of-transgenders/753980)._
