Is anyone who doesn't fully understand & support Trans issues an automatic HP??

I'm with Mikado.  I really just don't get why this issue is so complicated.  Unless there's a good reason, don't be a dick about personal preferences and choices.

"Good reasons" include:

1. If they're hurting other people.

2. If they're hurting themselves.  ("It would be better if they didn't feel transgender/gay" is not "hurting themselves."  Just because someone's feelings/preferences are inconvenient doesn't mean they're willfully self-harming.  This is especially true if the only thing that makes them inconvenient is that people

3. If they may be a red flag that they're hurting others or themselves.

I have no problem with people who worry about transgender people.  I even get why some people might think transgenderism might be a "red flag" for other issues.  Sometimes it probably is, and if you've unfamiliar, you might think it usually is.

And, seriously, this is over-complicating it.  Don't be a jerk to people just because they feel and like different things than you.  Even if you think those things are immoral, unless you think that treating them poorly will change their behavior, just don't.  If you are actually concerned about them, don't be passive-aggressive and weird about it.  Sit them down and tell them what's bothering you.  If you don't care enough to do so, you don't get to pretend you care enough to treat them poorly on principle.  Period.

Even if transgenderism is novel, I don't see why people think it's complicated or requires much experience.
