¥Also, trans women are women. Contemporary law, medicine and biology all recognise this.
Do they?
Law is not always right, just or fair. That's why the law is a fluid thing that changes and is constantly revised over the passage if time. This can go backwards and forwards in terms of rights for various groups. The idea that we are always progressing towards freedom and equality as we somehow become 'more civilised' is a dangerous fallacy to believe in as it leaves you vulnerable to complacency.
Medicine is certainly not in agreement here. Many leading figures in trans medicine have subsequently been attacked and vilified for their professional opinions to the point that people are afraid to voice a dissenting opinion out of fear for their careers. Or worse they have been actually criminalised. This is not in any way progressive. Medicine relies of medics being free to argue and question. When politics are more important than evidence, you are in dangerous territory. Its true of all areas of medicine not simply trans health, so is certainly not a controversial thing to point out that professionals are being hindered by the political climate. This may well not be in the best interests of trans people, and I find this deeply disturbing. Normal standards and ethics have suddenly been displaced.
Medicine is therefore still a massive area of contention and even then its a leap to go from medicine to saying this is biological fact.
My sibling under went a lot of testing. They could find not biological difference between him and any other man. Not one thing.
Psychological difference perhaps you could argue in their case, in terms of medically recognised. But in terms of biology and how they will be treated for non-trans related health issues, everything the same as a man. Its simple things like bone structure that are different.
To say this stuff is bigotted is nonsense and just proves the point. This is a political concept which goes hand in hand with the terminology. It is a belief.
If you do not share those beliefs you might be called a bigot. It does not necessarily mean you are because the law might be problematic and have unintended consequences which are harmful (not just to women, but also trans people themselves), it does not mean their is medical consensus, if the consensus is purely a result of a climate of fear and it doesn't change biology ultimately, just the political use of terms relating to biology.
I personally wish you could change biology because it would make life a lot easier and save a lot of pain. The very concept of being trans is an acknowledgement of being different biologically. Otherwise what are you 'transsing' from?
All your post is about is trying to call people a name to silence them for political reasons.
I love my sibling very much. I am fearful for the future. I don't expect them to conform to gender roles. I accept them as trans. I don't want them to be discriminated against. At the same time I want them to be able to access the best medical assistance there is and I don't believe that in every situation they are the most vulnerable merely by being trans. I think there are many situations where they have much more privilege than someone else and for that reason they should give way to the greater needs of that person. This blanket nonsense of always saying trans people are the most vulnerable is ignorant and dangerous as it places whoever is more vulnerable at risk. I find trans ideology far too black and white in this respect. I think people who hold the view that being trans makes you most vulnerable very naive of the realty of the world.
Indeed on a practical level I find a lot of calls for equality in all areas do much to do the opposite and are actually unhelpful to trans people themselves. Women's shelters are a prime example. They are so under funded presently women (with children) are routinely being turned away especially if they have complex needs which are difficult to cope with. In other cases women are being sent up to 600 miles away to find a place. In this context instead of insisting trans women have access to all shelters, which might distress women and children, who quite frankly aren't a position to deal with political correctness because of their emotional state, it would be far better to establish a few soecialist shelters for transwomen which are better placed to serve the specific and different needs of the community. Insistence to use women's shelters actually isn't in anyone's interests. Apart from those seeking to abuse the system. The idea that every shelter has the capacity and ability to deal with such a wide range of issues demonstrate a lack of understanding of what these shelters are up against in the real world. The pie eyed idealism being thrown into the mix just highlights privilege of those who know nothing about the reality. As it is womens shelters which are specialist have been forced to close already because of funding. Support for the ground level from trans activists and their allies to build on whats already there rather than putting it under further pressure, wouldn't go amiss.
Call me every name under the sun you like. Say that you are looking out for trans people more than everyone else because you are a good little ally. Its rot.
Ideology is nice and makes you feel warm inside. But it can blind you to how it all works in practice.
Reality on the other hand is a bit of a shitter and nice ideas don't always translate in practice. Reality doesn't really care if its called bigoted sadly.
Everything you say is simply political and born of the current moment in time, rather than being something solid. And I will merely call it as such. Not because I have a beef with trans people, but because the politics of TRAs are so blinkered to their own detriment in many cases.
I do not wish for what I fear will happen.
