Why should I give a shit about men who pretend to be women?

I don't think you should, especially if it scares you, put it out of your mind and chill

That doesn’t entirely make sense. If “it” scared me, I’d be giving a shit.

Why should I give a shit about men who pretend to be women?

Do you give a shit about anyone?

Yes.

Do you care about all men who don't "pretend to be women" or are you selective? I'm not judging you or trying to catch you out, it's just that I try to think of all people as people. Normally, my attitude towards them changes because of what they do, not what* they are. Of course, a beautiful, intellingent, young woman with a wonderful personality is crossed off my list instantly.

* eg: men, women, children, none of these, black, brown, sickly pinky yellowy, etc

A man masquerading as a woman is doing something, not “being” something and I am dubious of their motives. They could gain my respect, but they’re off to a bad start.

Are you trying to break it to us that you like to dress as a lady?

I think that would scare me.

Why don't you take a positive angle on it and give them the benefit of the doubt, before you hate them.
If you're irresistible and they sneakily bum you whilst you weren't expecting it then you can at least claim the philosophical high ground.

People (you in this case) use the word “hate” too much. I only said I doubt their good intentions.

If nobody judged anybody on appearance or early impressions, the World would be a funny place.

Who knows, I'm not an authority on it.

Some of you seem to be inexplicably drawn to discussing men in dresses though, so it might be more about you, than them.

Could clarify where clothing items such a kilt, sarong, cassock, dhotis and togas fit into your statement

You've put quite some thought into that.....

Is it more about the person who is inexplicably drawn to introducing the conversational gambit?

their assigned sex is different from the gender they identify with – this is known as gender dysphoria (GD). There is some evidence to show a link between gender dysphoria and autism, and that autistic people may be more likely than other people to have gender dysphoria. However there is little evidence about the reason(s) why, and some recent research suggests the link between autism and gender dysphoria is not so clear.

https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/large ... diversity/

People who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth are three to six times as likely to be autistic as cisgender people are, according to the largest study yet to examine the connection1.

Autistic people are more likely than neurotypical people to be gender diverse, several studies show, and gender-diverse people are more likely to have autism than are cisgender people2,3.
