  i do not know how to explain

  Yeah, I have trouble explaining falsehoods, too.

  Me? I tend to avoid the difficulty by not spreading lies, but you do whatever works for you, darlin'.

    the M or F on one’s birth certificate is not an immutable doctrine, it’s a jumping off point. it’s a starting place so you can see if you like one side before switching to the other. and it’s a starting point that works for 99% of the population. if we as a society get to the point that there is exactly zero stigma attached to deciding you like the other side, or the middle, or some other fantastical place better than the side your penis, vagina, or lack thereof put you on, then I don’t see the point in going further than that

      Why are we forcing people into "sides" if we know for a fact they can be erroneous?

      That creates a privileged class for who their assignment is congruent with their conception of self (cisgender people)
      alongside a disprivileged out group forced to navigate transitioning out of an assignment they never should have gotten (transgender people)

      you might as well call giving an infant a name a system of oppression

      I do.

        Why do programs have default settings if they’re not the ideal settings for everyone?

        As I said in my previous comment, why shouldn’t the objective be to reach a point where transitioning is completely painless?
