There are those who think transgender people are creepy. Are they right? Or can a consenting adult do whatever they want with their body?

i'm not having a conversation where you compare what a trans person does with their own body and a 38 year old man sleeping with an 18 year old.

The mental gymnastics to try and equate the two is just insane

That person has been rage baiting many people and doing this false equivalency as deflection so they don’t have to address the point repeatedly made by many people: the problem is what all this says about a political leaders character & if they are trustworthy. It was never about the women.

Admittedly, that was a bad comparison, but you're entire argument here revolves around a 19 year old adult not having the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.

Your argument hinges on it being legal. So are child brides. Still immoral. Still disgusting. Still exploitative. It doesn't change by the mental capacities of the teenager. They are still a teenager. morally you should, if anything, look out for someone half your age. Not try and fuck them.
