It affects me because it gives credence to the toxic gender stereotyping of the trans movement, and to the theory that being a woman is just a feeling - this means that biological men can violate the boundaries of biological women with impunity.
Someone who calls themselves 'she/her' but still has male genitalia can use the bathroom next to a biological woman or a girl. They can insist that women working from their own homes providing intimate waxing to women only must wax their 'lady cock and lady balls' or face an expensive law suit. They can hang around in the ladies' loos and changing rooms with impunity, hoping to see tampon strings hanging down, and even hoping to be approached for advice from a pre-teen girl who has her first period and wants help with a tampon - which this biologically male person wants to give - practical help.
It leads to biological men declaring themselves to be lesbians, and wanting biologically female lesbians to have sex with them - penetrative sex with their 'lady penis'. It leads to people saying that lesbians should get over their genital fetish and they can learn to cope just fine with penis - well - forgive me, but shouldn't sex be mindblowingly good, not just something you can cope with?
It leads to biologically male athletes, who are second rate in the mens' divisions identifying as women and beating all the biologically female competitors, because they have the advantages of strength, muscle mass, lung capacity, stamina, bone density etc that comes from growing up male. Women, biological women, lose out on college places in the USA because they get beaten by these trans women athletes. The trans women take the records and the prizes, and the women have no chance whatsoever against them.
It leads to biologically male prisoners being housed with vulnerable women in women's prisons, where they can sexually abuse and rape these women. It leads to violent crimes committed by biological males being reported as female crimes because the criminal 'feels female'.
It leads to children being told that playing with dolls, liking pink and disliking sports makes you female, and that if you happen to have male genitalia, you are in the wrong body and should be given puberty blockers which will have a direct negative impact on your intellectual development, which are not licensed for use in gender dysphoria, and whose longterm effects are not known. They claim to be reversible, but they may well not be. A child who goes on them might end up a permanent pre-teen - stunted physically and intellectually, just because they liked stereotypically girly things or boyish things.
If a boy does have genuine gender dysphoria, the puberty blockers will mean that their genitalia do not develop, so when they want the bottom surgery to go from male to female, their penis will be too small to be inverted to make a neo-vagina, so the surgeon will have to use other tissue - maybe bowel - to create this artificial opening. This may not heal properly, and if it does, they will need to keep it clean and use dilators every day, otherwise it will close up. But they are being told that this neo-vagina does everything a true vagina does - even though it has no ability to contract as a vagina does during orgasm, cannot self-clean or self lubricate, and will not remain patent without daily intervention.
So, in my view, this pronoun thing is the thin end of a very nasty and dangerous wedge.
Google Jonathon Yanniv/Jessica Yanniv, to find out about the Canadian beauticians they are suing, because they will not wax JY's scrotum - because they are not trained to do so, and because they work in their own homes and do not want to wax male genitalia (because doing so requires handling the male genitalia which is agains their religion and/or causes sexual arousal in the person being waxed who, according to expert witness, may well ask for 'relief' and get abusive when this is refused - something no woman working alone in her own home should be forced to accept). JY is also the person who has blogged about seeing 'naked tits and pussies' in ladies' changing rooms, and wants to know if they could help a pre-teen girl insert her first tampon.
Jazz Jennings is a trans girl who was on puberty blockers so didn't have enough penis to make a neo-vagina, so bowel was used, which broke down and caused post-op complications. Jazz will never be a real female and now can never revert to being male either, even if they are desperate to do so.
