Transgender Thread.

[HenrySwanson]

I've had mine added in my email signature for a while despite the fact that my name and overall expression are pretty indicative that I'm masculine-presenting.

Some people might say it's virtue signalling but I prefer to think of it as subtle "hi I'm not secretly transphobic and I'll absolutely respect what you go by" to anyone who might be a little unsure or worried about the vibes of their workplace.

This is where the value of LGBT pins comes in when working in healthcare, especially ones that give your pronouns.

These gotchas really reveal more about the person posting rather than Biden.

Trump saying "grab em by the *****" YES PLEASE
Trump being convicted of rape - OK!
Biden doing this - ASSAULT!!!!!

A thought that just occurred to me.

Do people who say transwomen aren't women say adoptive parents aren't parents?

Do people who say transwomen aren't women say adoptive parents aren't parents?

This exact analogy has been used in "debate" format with Ben Shapiro. He didn't have a very convincing response to it.

The Couchberker doesn't seem to think stepparents are parents. At least not when it is politically convenient.

I’d like to think that most trans people just want to get on with their lives and not preach.

Like take a piss without being harassed.

The presence of any individual who doesn't fit your conceptions of sex or gender in any shared space isn't harm to others. Know what is harm? Actual real harm. And actual real harm may be perpetrated by those what do fit your conceptions of sex or gender. More than that, literally any rat what wishes to perpetrate actual real harms can just enter a shared space and perpetrate actual real harms. Prohibiting trannies doesn't actually protect anyone, but bigotry is the point and harms will still be perpetrated even as the bigoted vermin gets what it wants.

trannies

Can we don't?

 

[Scaff]

I never said anything of the sort

Thats exactly what you said.

but there are some very vocal trans people pushing dangerous ideologies.

In a way, those vocal types are doing a disservice to those who are not.

So they shouldn't talk about what exactly?

I’d like to think that most trans people just want to get on with their lives and not preach.

Define preaching?

You're advocating for limiting the speech of trans individuals, so what are these limits, and why do they need to be applied?

 

[TexRex]

Can we don't?

Absolutely.

This isn't to say that I think it's unreasonable to ask as much or that I don't intend to respect that, but any time I have used the term I have only done so as a simple abbreviation and not to denigrate any person because they're transgender. I'm an old dog with old tricks but I can learn new ones and I will make a sincere effort.

Most people are either male or female. Let's not let the views of a few trans people ruin everything.

In what world do you think that banning gendered toilets is fair?

Is anyone actually trying to do this? I've heard this a few times online and have never found any evidence for it.

I expect the "logic" (not the word I'm looking for but it'll have to do) is that when anyone can identify their way in regardless of gender or biological sex--willy/nilly--then gendered bathrooms are de facto banned. "StOp ErAsInG wOmEn."
