She thinks there is “no debate” and if a man decides he’s a woman then he wouldn’t go to all that trouble if it wasn’t genuine. He should be seen as a woman. His rights cannot be viewed as different from women’s rights. Even if he is anatomically male. Chromosomes have nothing to do with it, people can be born in the wrong body and I am “not grasping this”.

I need some very easy to digest, difficult to refute points to give her. I’m absolutely overwhelmed with work, health issues etc and I simply don’t have the brain space to give to this right now and I know you lot will help me out.

It doesn’t help that she is very feisty snd I am super placid.

I don’t want to shrink from this though - she needs to understand the other side. She has only been exposed to TRA beliefs so far, from her friends and on Tiktok etc.

Help me!

I find people in this board are very good at explaining things. I need that right now.

No, I’m asking for some easy to present / easy to digest points I can go through with her.

I have a lot on my plate right now and I’m not very good at forming arguments even when I’m at my best. Especially with a feisty teen.

So you're saying she needs to understand the other side, but you yourself are asking others on here what the other side is?

I should add that I am gender critical. I just can’t formulate my response properly and she is appalled at my views. She seems to think my views are hugely outdated and wrong.
