To feel everyone is anti trans?

[Kitjo]

I'm well aware of current US views led by Trump - but are these views generally held/supported in the UK? Of course I understand opinions on NHS gender reassignment funding, as well as controversies over trans women in sport. Needless to say I'm fully aware of concerns over women's safety issues. Are there any sympathisers or supporters out there? What about trans masculine folk who are surely no threat to women's safety or sport? None of these people would choose such a hard life, socially, financially, physically, mentally, emotionally... am I alone in thinking a bit of kindness and compassion towards the trans community might be appreciated for the massive personal struggles they have to face? I am open minded to hearing and understanding your views.

Even then, they haven't changed sex. They're just a man with an inverted penis.

How exactly can someone change their sex rather than their gender? Considering your bio sex can’t be change by cosmetic surgery or by any medication - what books are your reading beyond fairytales?

Trans ideology is finished. It flourished in the Covid era. It will disappear as quickly as it arrived. 95%.

All evidence to the contrary since you call people who speak of their existence and experience 'weirdos'....

I think this post wins the thread for ridiculousness. Not to mention arrogance! Don’t think JKR will be losing much sleep 😂

No human being who has ever lived has ever changed their sex.

Please explain in detail how this process happens?

Particularly how the chromosone sex markers change in a person's DNA? I'm absolutely intrigued.

Ah!

Or XY in XX Sports. Conveys a massive strength advantage.

No, they cannot change their sex DNA or chromosomes. No one actually changes sex. Indeed, transpeople themselves often say "none of us are saying we changed sex".

Biological sex is very simple; it is based on gamete type and remains consistent across the whole animal and plant kingdoms.

Small motile gamete = male
Large immobile gamete = female

Everything else is just the support structures around these gametes.

that's how i know you haven't been engaging in this discussion a) in good faith or b) ever before.

Your position that you took in that post is what the TRAs would consider transphobic bigotry. I just got in before them.

Wind your neck in and read people's posts properly. And now you can please address that post to the TRAs.

Thanks in advance.

Tandora knows more than this guy.

I'm a mother, I love and welcome trans people. There are also lots of mothers who are parents of trans children.

its interesting that you can see the complexity in these other categories / constructs but not sex. Why do you think that is?

None of that means you have a right to announce you have an age, ethnicity or disability you do not have and require everyone else to agree

A person who does not conform to your simplistic/ unitary/ fundamentalist account of sex is not “announcing” or “claiming” a false identity. You misunderstand the nature of this type of human diversity .

If you're going to insist that humans can change sex then you also have to insist they must have a sex change if they want to use the facilities of the opposite sex.

And at that point, you become a transphobe just like the rest of us. Welcome aboard, here's your TERF card.

What does that mean exactly? You are ok with transwomen competing against your daughter in cycling, say?

Sex isn't a construct. Gender is, but not sex. It's that simple.

There is no complexity in sex. Other than DSDs, which are a medical anomaly.

It’s not that simple though. Not at all. And therein lies the problem.

I support trans folk. I think a lot of people have been brainwashed into holding bigoted and hateful views by certain loud idiots online. I see being transphobic as akin to being a bully picking on the weakest child in class. Trans folk are a tiny minority who get an absolutely ridiculous amount of hate. The murder and suicide rates for trans people are heartbreaking. I see transphobia as anti feminist and think transphobes are useful tools of the patriarchy.

If this offended anyone, maybe do some critical thinking instead of lashing out- I don’t read replies from transphobes so you’ll only be wasting your own time if you feel like you have to defend your bigotry.
