but black people should be tuned in to racial studies enough to peep the difference. Keep in mind that trans people came up with the prefixes "trans" and "cis" to differentiate themselves from biological men and women, because they are well aware of the difference. Presenting their gender expression is not them trying to "pass" as a biological man/woman. Put simply, they are just expressing themselves. There is no deception in that. That is what it is.

The thing is, you're imprinting your ideas on them. When you talk to these people, themselves, they are not trying to be cis gendered people. They make their own distinctions, enough so to come up with their own widely-accepted language to describe themselves

It's damn near impossible for it not to get that deep, when discussing subjects as nuanced as race and gender.

>Wasn't there a post recently where a transwomen was killed

So, we're going for the Fox News tactic of extrapolating an individual situation with no context to an entire population of people?

As far as the need for people to disclose personal information, well there's no set rule of engagement when it comes to any relationship. It depends heavily on the parties involved and what they're comfortable with. They are responsible for negotiating the terms of their involvement. All of us are welcome to our own opinions, but, ultimately, people have to do what works for them.
