It's as if the two things - wanting to be female and taking action to be appear more female, are coincidentally?

Then after years of trans awareness, claiming that everyone around them just spontaneously sees them as female.

Loon in Doric, or English?

In his case, both are applicable

Nice one..a loon on two counts and definitely not a quine that's for sure.

There's no way he'd be mistaken for a quine by anyone other than the little people with loud voices who live inside his imagination.

All men who claim to be women benefit from TRA, because they swish through the door that this activism has opened for them. They point to the extremes and say 'at least we're not as bad as them', suggesting that there is a mild 'inclusion' to be negotiated, and knowing they would use any gains the extremists have made

It’s very similar to the NAMALT chat men have, where their watching of dubious porn is unrelated to widespread SA of women, or telling jokes about hitting your girlfriend is unrelated to the increase of DV. It seems easy for men to excuse their own behaviour and very difficult to point out unacceptable behaviour in other men.

It’s magic apparently.

Some men claim they can't help how people perceive them, suggesting they aren't doing anything to appear female - but have changed their birth certificate and claim to be legally female?

And despite choosing to use estrogen supplements which are very famous for developing male breast tissue giving (at first glance) a female profile too.

But apparently, it is not those men’s fault that people treat them as if they are women, is it?

'God damn my womanly breast shaped silicon forms, and darn my see-through blouse that does keep blasted slipping to reveal visible ladies' underwear and fake breasts every time I accidentally am pushed into the ladies' changing rooms by the lovely giggly ladies who insist on celebrating my womanly womannishness'

Some men are so keen to co opt women's experiences that they claim to be victims of TRA.

Some men claim they can't help how people perceive them, suggesting they aren't doing anything to appear female - but have changed their birth certificate and claim to be legally female?

The same men claim not to be activists, but insist that women/girl/female aren't anything other than feeling in a man's head.

All men who claim to be women benefit from TRA, because they swish through the door that this activism has opened for them. They point to the extremes and say 'at least we're not as bad as them', suggesting that there is a mild 'inclusion' to be negotiated, and knowing they would use any gains the extremists have made.

The extreme is just what they havent managed to achieve yet, or fail to uphold. Once its established, like being able to falsify a bc, it stops being extreme in their eyes.

Being trans isn’t a choice

Helleofabore · Yesterday 18:52

Not disclosing your sex category to female people who might need to know at times when sex matters is a choice.

Being trans isn’t a choice

That is open to debate; but using the wrong-sex single sex spaces is a choice, and one no trans person should ever get wrong.

You’re right, it’s not open to debate thanks to FWS.

You’re a male where sex matters, regardless of whatever your replacement documentation says.

I was replying to the poster how said being trans not being a choice was up for debate. It is not. No one chooses to be this way.

I believe it is debatable. But either way, your actions are choices.

People choose so little about their bodies and their feelings, what they do choose is their actions.

Why is being trans a choice then?

In the case of a six-foot four bearded man who has never taken a hormone in his life and is on trial for rape, he definitely makes a choice to decide to be "trans" between arrest and sentencing. In an instance like that I do not believe for one single instant that he is anything but opportunist; trans, my cousin's club foot!

Ditto a man who says he is a woman in order to sexually assault a prepubescent female in a supermarket lavatory. He made a choice. That he is actually anything other than a predatory male is definitely open to debate. Or rather, not at all open to serious debate.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · Yesterday 19:30

(BuT of course criminals are never truly trans, are they, in spite of the mantra that anyone is trans if s/he says s/he is. Famously, though, I believe there is supposed to be a gender called "rapist gender". Hmmm.)

If I were you, I would stop trying to speak for all people with transgender identities.

We have been told by the transmaxxers themselves on a thread that they started on FWR that it is a choice. And separately, some teens on social media have said that for them it is a lifestyle choice.

Who are you to deny their claim to be transgender? There are no biological markers and it is purely based on someone’s subjective belief about themselves.

Are you the arbiter of who is and isn’t transgender? How can anyone reliably categorise someone when it is based on pure subjectivity ?

You’re picking out the most extreme examples there, aren’t you? You know for 99% of trans people that just doesn’t apply.

You’re right. Transgender is meant to be an umbrella term 🙄, so I will be more precise. Being transsexual isn’t a choice.
