To answer Aidan's question, I could write an essay about my viewpoints on gender identity. I personally believe that, similar to sexuality, gender identity isn't just black and white. I have a firm belief that there's nothing wrong with transgender people or non-binary people, as I believe the crises about gender identity has arose from society. We're quick to associate certain actions, appearances, and attire as "manly" or "girly." But what happens if a boy enjoys doing "girly" things or a girl enjoys doing "manly" things? They feel like pariahs, as if they were born the wrong gender and that they were a mistake. In reality, they're not conforming to society's standards of what masculinity or femininity mean, so even though nothing is wrong with them, society influences them to believe otherwise. We wouldn't be having so many issues over gender identity (or really any ways that people identify as) if stereotypes and long-term beliefs we abolished.

Honestly, I don't know if that makes a lot of sense, but I'm exhausted and I wanted to stop before got carried away and wrote too much. However, this does seem to summarize my major viewpoints on the topic.

Overall, I would just like to make clear that I'm supportive of all transgender people, all LGTBQ+ people, people of all races, people of all backgrounds, people of all social class, people of all ethnicities, people of all religions, etc. I just believe that the only reason there's discrimination and hatred towards these people are due to society's long-standing beliefs against them.
