Don't bother, you will be painted as awful no matter what you say.

If they refer to all trans people as 'she' you have already lost.

But if you want to keep on trying, remind those that disagree that most of the Men's Rights issues will end up helping more minority men than majority men.

For example, our desire to reform education is going to have the biggest impact on those who are falling behind the most, namely minority men, as opposed to straight, white, cisgendered, etc. males.

Demanding for adequate mental health assistance and suicide counseling? That's going to help those who most need it, and the group that is most likely among men to require those services is still the homosexual and trans groups.

While we don't have exclusively pro-trans, pro-gay, or pro-minority issues, everything we fight for will end up helping those groups more than it would the straight, white, cisgendered, etc. male.

Have you tried searching the sub? I mean, you're not the first person to ask.

But frankly I would be surprised if the people you're trying to convince would accept any evidence that contradicts what they want to believe about MRAs.

The MRM is a diverse group of people that advocate for men's rights for different reasons. There's going to be varying views on just about everything.

Personally I want to see gender-blind laws, applied in a gender-blind manner. This would make the law and it's application blind to gender identity as well.

Why? Just because some cause or issue is central to your own existence doesn't mean it is to others.

I don't feel any compunction to disprove a second hand negative assertion and that's some pretty weak bait. Your drama trolling skill are lacking youngling go level up some and come on back.

I'm an MRA and support transpersons. I've done a few posts on the subject, and I think started a thread or two.

OP, here's the thing; transsexual politics does not even enter our realm of consideration. Concerns of transitional people are not within our area of interest. The only issue with trans-people that falls within our interest deal specifically with transwomen (right to non-disclosure for the transwoman vs. right of informed consent for the straight male).

For the most part; a large part of the MRM acknowledge transmen as just being men. The worst that may happen with some outliers is that they are put in the same camp that they put gay men. But again, most MRM advocates accept gay men and their issues as being part of "the struggle."
