the "belief in two genders," your opinion can be harmful to others.

I believe there are two genders.
What are they, and how are they defined?

Personally, I won't believe that a female is a male or a male is a female.
How are you defining male and female?

I would never try to intentionally disrespect anyone for any reason.
So why come on here and tell trans people on this board that you don't believe them when they talk about their gender? Why come on here and tell nonbinary people that they don't exist? Intent doesn't matter; coming on here and starting this topic in this way shows intentional disrespect.

I don't necessarily understand modern gender fluidity.
This would have been a good place to start and express a willingness to learn.

I grew up in the 80's.
Trans people were definitely around in the 80s, so I'm not sure why you're saying this.
