Charlamagne Tha God rejects activists using ‘transphobic’ label amid debate over medical care for trans kids

“There’s certain things minors cannot do because they’re minors. So you don’t think something as big as changing your gender, shouldn’t you wait until you’re at least 18? The fact that people can’t even have a conversation about that without labeling somebody transphobic is very, very, very, very strange to me because it’s not like these people are saying, ‘No, we don’t want anybody transitioning,’ you know. Or ‘being trans is wrong.’ They’re simply saying, ‘Hey, let these minors wait until they’re a certain age.’ That’s very worthy of a conversation,” Charlamagne said."

Well, I have no idea who that is, so whatever.

A lot of us Black Americans "follow" him....however, I do not.....

Alternatively, he could mind his own business…

“…it’s not like these people are saying, ‘No, we don’t want anybody transitioning,’ you know. Or ‘being trans is wrong.’

The hell they’re not saying that. Bullshit.

So "whatever" from you as well.

Where did I say this? - This is you saying this.
That being said, he does have a right to his own perspective - regardless whether we agree or not.

It's ironic that you defend other people's right to their opinions when you never seem to have any of your own. You really are like the Forrest Gump of this forum.

In any case, you have a fundamental misunderstanding: the right to express an opinion does not mean the right to not be criticised for that opinion.

He's right somewhat. Medical transition aside, you get labeled transphobic if you don't want to date a trans person or ask for them to explain some label that will inevitably change in short time. It's gone from "let us live our lives" to "you will include me in your personal life, otherwise, you're a bigot". They expect people to follow and understand all these pronouns and identities but the definitions change by the day and by the person

I don't doubt that some people do this, but it seems a gross over-generalisation to say "they" as if it was a general thing among people who advocate for trans rights. I'm pretty sure the percentage of trans who want to impose themselves on others who are not interested is no higher than it is in the rest of the population. What would your reaction be if someone made a generalisation about what black people think or do based on a few instances they had come across?

You don't follow him. I don't know who he is. Yes, this person I've never heard of is entitled to his opinion, but his opinion has no meaning to me, so "whatever." If you don't follow him, why does his opinion matter to you?
