One of the commenters on this post summed it up so perfectly, I just have to quote her:
“When people shout “The world is not complicated; it’s simple!” they reveal themselves as meaning “I can’t handle complicated things!”
I almost feel bad for them.
When it comes to gender identity, I want to shout back ‘Tell me one time in your life someone’s gender identity mattered for an instant! Oh, you can’t? Let me help you simplify your little life: ignore that which doesn’t fucking matter! Grow up and learn to filter the garbage out of your little life! Adults do that. It’s called being responsible for your own thoughts and fears. Grown-ups do that.’ “
