DiscussionWhy do TRAs keep repeating these silly talking points?
Sex is a binary. Intersex individuals have disorders of sex development that give them features of the opposite sex, but they are not a third sex.
But even if sex were a spectrum, orange can't change its wavelength by identifying as purple.
This circular definition would render the word "woman" meaningless.
I am in fact affected by the actions of other people. Also, I am allowed to care about other people who are affected as well.
Being pressured into validating someone's delusions, forced to allow them into our spaces, and not allowed to talk about our experiences as a sex class (or do anything about them) does affect us. And knowing that there are girls (who are a lot like I was at their age) who are experiencing physical harm because they are told that their discomfort with their bodies and not fitting gender roles makes them trans would only not bother me if I were a complete monster.
This is like if the person who invented credit card fraud started whining about people's cards getting frozen for false positive fraud alerts.
It's almost as if you're defining womanhood by sexist stereotypes?
The idea that any deviation from the typical removes someone from the binary doesn't come from gender critical people.
Anyone of the female sex is female, and anyone of the male sex is male, regardless of any medical conditions, disorders of development, surgical/medical modifications, or how they choose to describe themselves.
No, both because sex is not just genitals, and because correctly identifying someone's sex is not the same as reducing them to it, any more than being aware that someone is white and refusing to validate their transracial identity feels would reduce them to just their whiteness.
There are urinals and toilets in the men's room.
I guess the reason it works is because people are not allowed to respond with anything remotely critical...
