The backlash against transsexuals is an attempt to hold onto one of the last controllable vestiges of sacrosanctity. It is far easier to bully a trans woman on the internet with "YWNBAW" copy pasta than it is to reign in the nuclear war machine, or to stop climate change and ecological collapse.

LOL, we're on the brink of collapse, so it's imperative to waste resources on trying and failing to turn men into women and women into men and especially to waste time, money, and energy on forcing the whole world to play pretend with delusional people.

I submit that, if the backlash is tied to fears about collapse in any sense, it's a response to wasting resources on total nonsense. How much waste is involved with "gender identity" is not my number one concern about it, but it nevertheless pisses me off and contributes to my sense of hopelessness about the future. It's a very visible way society is pissing away scarce resources, to the detriment of the majority, no less.

Theseus' ship theory doesn't hold here because you didn't change anything out that counts.

You remodelled your Prius to look like Ferrari on the outside but the engine and workings and oil needed and performance is still a Prius.

No one is going to buy this at the price of a Ferrari from you unless they are completely naive about Ferraris, and no one is going to believe it will hold up in a race car full of other Ferraris.

If someone KNEW it was really a Prius, just modelled to look like a Ferrari, and didn't mind it, good for everyone involved, no deception here.

Trying to pass the modified Prius off as an actual genuine Ferrari, then crying that people are Prius-phobic, admits you know it's a Prius yourself but are demanding everyone just play along because.... reasons.

If you truly changed everything out to be a Ferrari, cool. The fact is, you didn't. You can't. You never will. The whole thing WOULD be a Ferrari at that point, but transwomen still have male cells, still can't menstruate or get pregnant, still don't have a vagina, still don't have female cells, etc etc etc go talk to your gay buddies who need surrogates, or your cis porn only subs, if you don't believe us. Most of you fuckers are still crowing about wanting to rape TERFs with your girldick while declaring yourself a woman.

Go fuck yourselves. "terf trans alliance" is just another wolf in sheep's clothing. there is no common ground.

"But clownfish can change sex!" Yeah. They did. The male-now-actually-female clownfish will go from inseminating to being able to lay eggs. That's how they were determined to have BECOME female, or they would have still been listed male.

Humans can't change sex.

But but but... they all say the same nonsense.

I've been taking estrogen (and whatever other drugs) for 5 years and it's changed my body. That makes you a man taking estrogen (and whatever other drugs).

I dress and act very feminine and have had voice training. That makes you a man who dresses and acts feminine and tries to disguise his voice.

I have grown breasts and my body has changed to be softer and smell different. That makes you a man with gynecomastia and mild skin changes. But you still smell male.

I got an orchiectomy so I don't make all that testosterone anymore. That makes you a man who had himself castrated.

I got bottom surgery and have a vagina now instead of a dick and balls. That makes you a man who got plastic surgery to mutilate his genitalia into a poor imitation of a vagina.

Whatever they do is always a male doing it.

Oh my God.

"Female" is just the combination of sounds we use in the English language to describe when an animal reproduces with two sexes, which group makes the eggs.

"Woman" is just the combination of sounds we use in the English language to describe the group that consists of humans who are Female and adult.

You can compare to "hen" which is just the combination of sounds in the English language that describes a group that consists of chickens who are female.

That's it. Nothing more. They are words that describe a thing because that's why we have words. Everything else is your preconceived sexist baggage that you can't seem to get over.

Whenever they start talking like this, I substitute race for sex when reading it.

"So much of the disagreement on transracialism I see comes from two groups of political idealogues staking out two opposing views on the ship of Theseus paradox. In case you are unfamiliar, The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus' Paradox, is... I can't help but think that the medical technological advancement of transracialism has put the majority of people somewhere within the Kübler-Ross curve. Denial, anger, bargaining depression just not yet acceptance...after thousands of years of anthropocentric programming, existential threats like climate change...nuclear war has pushed out species to the brink...the backlash against transracials is an attempt to hold onto one of the last vestiges of sacrosanctity. It is far easier to bully a transracial person of colour on the internet with "YOU'RE FUCKING WHITE" copy pasta than it is to reign👑 in the nuclear war machine, or to stop climate change or ecological collapse...this is why I view failure to embrace transracialism as both reactionary and disconnected to reality...discomfort with the rate of technological advancement...philosophical paradox...one is compelled...it's so much easier to draw that line against transracial people than against an oil company or a weapons manufacturer."

God I hate postmodernism.

Almost all tra screeds have some half baked philosophy that they just don’t understand all that well in there somewhere. At some point reading trans drivel I realized that they are all not very smart.

Someone is trying to sound intelligent, but it’s not working.

LOL.

They banned me from that subreddit when u/ratina_filia couldn’t handle my dgaf approach to speaking the truth. It was a little amusing that he couldn’t keep his head from exploding, but in the end it was probably best I was banned. Dude seems like he’s actually on the verge of a nervous breakdown (his writing is a mess of word salad), and a dose of TERF-administered reality could easily push him off the cliff he is precariously dancing upon. The tragic thing is that his reaction only confirms my belief that the most delusional TIMs are the ones who think they are saner than the rest.

Then the fool who wrote the OP is another one overly impressed by the specious ramblings his mind uses to justify his lunacy.

This might be an argument if most trans people passed, but that's not the case. Of all the trans people I met over 4 years of transition, only 1 passed. So nevermind the ship of Theseus, we can't even put Lego ship sets together yet

Bwahahaha.

Well, no. Because no parts are even being replaced. Some trans people merely self mutilate (or rather have somebody else do it for them), and then call what remains of their original body parts something else. It's like taking a saw to your leg, cutting off the lower part to make it shorter, sewing your toes back onto the stump, and pretending it's an arm because it's now roughly the same length as your real arms. It's not. It's still a leg. Or rather what remains of one. The same is true of an inverted penis. It's still a penis. It's just been cut up and stuffed inside the body. Same goes for women who get a mastectomy. They're still women, they've just had body parts removed. And when they sew flesh from their arm to their crotch, that's not actually a penis, it's just a scarred roll of flesh that's in roughly the same spot a penis would be (well... If they're lucky, because I've seen surgeons get that part spectacularly wrong).

Ship of Theseus? I've only ever heard it described as grandfather's axe.

Oh and it's "rein in", not "reign in". Nothing to do with rule, it refers to riding (and "reign in" doesn't even make sense).

Sorry. But you have to go to the thread itself. The comments are hilarious.
