Comments by "Maksie0" (@Maksie0) on "Trans vs Conservative Women: Are Periods Essential to Womanhood? | Middle Ground" video.

  1. She works for Prager U, which pretty much immediately disqualifies her from being "wonderful".
    65
  2. Statistically, she's at bigger risk from Republican politicians.
    21
  3.  @Cloudii06  Their "different opinions" have real negative effects on society. Not everything is trivial enough to just agree to disagree on. Trans rights being one example where we shouldn't back down to reactionary conservatives. The very concept of the video, that we should seek a "middle ground" with conservatives, is wrong to me.
    18
  4. She's a professional grifter for Prager U.
    13
  5. Conservatism? I hope so.
    8
  6. True, conservatives really shouldn't be given a platform at all.
    5
  7. It's a sad sign of the times that scumbags like you feel comfortable enough to casually throw slurs around.
    5
  8. Cis women are real women, and so are trans women.
    5
  9. Conservatism? I agree.
    5
  10. Okay snowflake.
    5
  11. She.
    5
  12. It's not an offensive term at all though.
    4
  13. It's time for this bizarre obsession to end, Zach.
    4
  14. Segregation is a bad thing.
    4
  15. She.
    4
  16. You think about trans people more than trans people do.
    4
  17. Yeah they are. They're women who are trans.
    4
  18. Your indoctrination makes me sad.
    4
  19. Transphobia is usually rooted in ignorance and fear.
    4
  20. No it isn't.
    4
  21. Your bathroom? Like, the one you have at home? Alright, up to you what you do with that. But you can't keep trans women out of public women's bathrooms.
    4
  22.  @SlipperyNutella  Why's that?
    4
  23. So infertile cis women aren't women?
    4
  24. Trans women don't have an issue being called trans women. Trans and cis are just adjectives.
    4
  25. Look, they may be conservatives, but they're still women.
    4
  26. Kids get access to hormone blockers at most. Why do you transphobes always lie?
    4
  27. I mean, you don't have to include the word trans. You can absolutely just say they're women. Because they are.
    4
  28. Sounds like you just want to perpetuate your own ignorance.
    4
  29.  @justshavon8942  But trans women aren't attacking cis women in bathrooms, nor are cis men pretending to be trans to do so. Besides, there's cis women who are stronger than other cis women. Should they just not be able to use the women's restroom either? Are we gonna change all the bathrooms and divide them by weight class?
    4
  30. Trans women are women who are trans.
    4
  31. Trans women are women who are trans. Cis women are women who are cis. What's so hard to understand?
    3
  32. She.
    3
  33. Trans women are women who are trans, dipshit.
    3
  34. Segregation is bad, Justin.
    3
  35. You are a cis woman. A woman who is cisgender. What, you don't like adjectives now? Or let me guess, you just don't want to share the "woman" label with trans women.
    3
  36. That disqualifies some cis women too.
    3
  37. Braindead reactionary shouting.
    3
  38. ​ @zachman5150  Cease being alive, Zach.
    3
  39. Then I hope none of your kids are trans, for their sake.
    3
  40. Yeah, if we're really being honest, conservatism is not okay.
    3
  41.  @wheelz314  It's conservative ideas that will fade into obscurity, Brad. No amount of screaming "GrOoMeR!!!" will stop that.
    3
  42.  @markusbaker1161  Transphobia is weird in that it can take over people's entire lives if they have nothing else going on.
    3
  43. Her.
    3
  44. Nope. Women.
    3
  45. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  46. How embarrassing for you.
    3
  47.  @msharp6887  "Science agrees with me if you ignore all the science that doesn't!!"
    3
  48.  @zachman5150  You keep going on about science, but at the end of the day you're just an angry reactionary cultist. Who knew?
    3
  49. ​​ @zachman5150  You talk so much but say so little.
    3
  50. True, conservatives are pretty crazy.
    3
  51. "Waaah why didn't they include my favorite reactionary grifter? 😭"
    3
  52. Gender and sex aren't the same thing.
    3
  53. They do accept themselves. Who they are inside.
    3
  54. I agree, we should all hate conservatives.
    3
  55. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  56. It seriously is disturbing how casually people will post blatantly transphobic comments, and how little is done about it.
    3
  57. Don't be such a pessimist. If we all work together, we can build a future without conservatism.
    3
  58. But cis women have different experiences from one another as well, do they not?
    3
  59. True, we should be open about how crazy conservatives are.
    3
  60. Because the GOP would rather create a moral panic over trans people than actually offer policies that improve people's lives.
    3
  61. What, so you can keep your kids ignorant of all the things you yourself are ignorant about?
    3
  62. You think being called cisgender is "bullying"?
    3
  63. Where's the contradiction?
    3
  64. Bold to assume you're normal people
    3
  65. You're thinking of conservatives.
    3
  66. Throwing other LGBTQ+ people under the bus won't stop conservatives from coming after your rights next.
    3
  67. Cis is literally just an adjective meaning you're not trans. Nobody's saying you're not a woman.
    3
  68. They're not.
    3
  69. Trans men are men and should use the men's bathroom, yes.
    3
  70. This is one of the most blatantly hateful comment sections I've ever seen.
    3
  71. But it's not a mental illness.
    3
  72. There are no men in this video, and those three women you're referring to are, in fact, cisgender.
    3
  73. Trans women.
    3
  74. It's true, decades of trying to appeal to deranged conservatives has ruined your country.
    3
  75. Being trans isn't a mental illness.
    3
  76. Exactly. Shame on these delusional conservatives.
    3
  77. How about you stop your whining and accept that trans people exist?
    3
  78. She.
    3
  79. They do call themselves women. They're women who are trans.
    3
  80. Who cares about how rare it is? Intersex people exist all the same.
    3
  81. She works for Prager U though, so she isn't.
    3
  82. They're not mutually exclusive. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  83.  @Luis_H423  The trans women want their pronouns respected because they want to be recognised as women. The cis women want to reject the "cis" adjective because they don't want to recognize the trans women as women.
    3
  84. So you're a woman, and you're not cis. So you're trans?
    3
  85. True, it's time to stop treating conservative ideas like they're worth listening to.
    3
  86. Cis is an adjective. It literally just means you're not trans. No one is not calling you a woman.
    3
  87. According to the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians they are.
    3
  88. That's a very irrational position to hold.
    3
  89. Why would they? It's not like public bathrooms are guarded. A male predator can just walk in. This doesn't seem to be based on reality.
    3
  90. The American urge to reintroduce segregation
    3
  91. Cisgender women are women who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. So in short, women who aren't trans.
    3
  92. It's not a slur though. I'm cis. It just means I'm not trans.
    3
  93. ​ @zachman5150  Why do you always post replies that have nothing to do with what you're replying to?
    3
  94. Why?
    3
  95. She.
    3
  96.  @lman1006  No problem!
    3
  97. You're a real piece of work.
    3
  98. They deserve a better owner.
    3
  99. It's not a prefix. It's an adjective. You're still a woman. A woman who's cisgender.
    3
  100. Cool
    3
  101.  @zachman5150  You continue to embarass yourself.
    3
  102. They did though, in another video.
    3
  103. So you're a fascist.
    3
  104. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  105. Saying "it's science" doesn't make your view actually scientifically accurate.
    3
  106. Conservatives are weirdos but mentally ill is going a bit far.
    3
  107. What "expense" is that? And for the record, trans women have been using the women's room.
    3
  108. Yeah, conservatives are weird.
    3
  109.  @sdvegansoulkitchen6870  Weird, why do you feel the need to avoid the use of adjectives when you seem to be fine with nouns and verbs?
    3
  110. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  111. Do you understand how adjectives work?
    3
  112. If you're not cis, you're trans. So you're saying you're a trans woman? Or do you just have an irrational aversion to the concept of adjectives?
    2
  113. "Science is over now because I don't like their findings"
    2
  114. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    2
  115.  @bloodaonadeline8346  Traditions are just peer pressure from dead people, and being trans is not a mental illness. Conservatism is a dogshit ideology and the sooner it goes away, the better we'll all be off.
    2
  116. Her.
    2
  117. Nah, that's coming from you.
    2
  118. That's like saying "I'm a woman, not a tall woman". Cis is an adjective. No one's saying you're not a woman.
    2
  119.  @mr.mclibtard5015  Like Zeep pointed out, it's not a pronoun. But beyond that, the rejection of "cis" seems to be not about how they identify, because cis people will agree that the definition of cisgender matches how they identify. It's just that they don't want to share the word "woman" with trans women.
    2
  120.  @crystalcole2674  Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  121. So periods aren't essential to womanhood if there's already exceptions to it.
    2
  122. It's not offensive though. And being trans isn't a mental illness.
    2
  123. If the conservatives didn't want to be corrected, they shouldn't have been wrong.
    2
  124. It means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth. Basically it means you're not trans.
    2
  125. They did treat it, by transitioning.
    2
  126. You people will really just vote for anyone huh?
    2
  127. No it isn't.
    2
  128. There's nothing disrespectful about acknowledging that someone is cis.
    2
  129.  @danielawilliams5988  And why is that?
    2
  130. Cisgender isn't a pronoun... it's literally just an adjective that means you're not trans.
    2
  131. What do you mean?
    2
  132. She.
    2
  133. Weird to reduce your womanhood to menstruation.
    2
  134. My brother in Christ, you are making the fuss
    2
  135. Are you familiar with the concept of adjectives?
    2
  136. Trans women are real women, just like cis women are.
    2
  137. No, the "pushback" comes from people like Amala. Paid propagandists who propagate this hysterical transphobic moral panic.
    2
  138. The one that works for Prager U?
    2
  139. Trans women are women who are trans, not "confused men". And conservatives are far from normal.
    2
  140. But trans rights don't alter everybody else's everyday living.
    2
  141. No one needs that creep.
    2
  142. You'd have to? Is it that important to you that they never learn that LGBTQ+ people exist?
    2
  143. That reactionary conservatives are worth listening to? Apparently.
    2
  144. So infertile cis women aren't women?
    2
  145. The reason they don't want to be called cis is because it'd mean acknowledging trans women are women too.
    2
  146. How so, Rafaello?
    2
  147. Nor is one of the cis women in the video, so what's your point exactly?
    2
  148. They do! Trans women playing sports generally are required to undergo a certain amount of hormone therapy before they're eligible to compete against other women.
    2
  149. Conservatives are confused.
    2
  150. What's wrong with the term cisgender? I'm cisgender too.
    2
  151. So then you're a trans woman?
    2
  152. There are no men in this video
    2
  153. There's nothing disrespectful about the term cisgender.
    2
  154.  @panemp3  Women are women, yes. And cisgender women are women who are cisgender. It's an adjective meaning someone who isn't trans. The only reasons I can imagine why someone would object to that is if they have some kind of personal vendetta against the concept of adjectives, or if they simply resent having to "share" the term "woman" with trans women.
    2
  155.  @panemp3  It's not derogatory. I'm cisgender as well.
    2
  156. Being trans isn't a mental illness.
    2
  157.  @mohammadt8570  Source?
    2
  158.  @mohammadt8570  We don't determine whether or not something is a mental illness by "common sense". Try again.
    2
  159.  @mohammadt8570  We actually have medical professionals who determine that sort of thing. And the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals is the DSM-5, compiled and published by the American Psychiatric Association. Which does not list being trans as a mental illness.
    2
  160. I would guess she already takes them regularly, considering the red pill from the Matrix represents an estrogen pill.
    2
  161. She's a reactionary grifter working for Prager U.
    2
  162. Being trans isn't a mental disorder. And how are kids not ready to handle the idea that trans people exist?
    2
  163.  @zachman5150  Again with the non-sequitur responses. Go play in traffic, Zach.
    2
  164. Z P's obsession with trans people continues...
    2
  165. Those statements don't contradict each other
    2
  166. Ah, I see Z P has volunteered to be a perfect example of a transphobic shithead who, despite posting transphobic hate speech on literally a daily basis, still hasn't been banned.
    2
  167. So you're a trans woman?
    2
  168. She.
    2
  169. Of course there is.
    2
  170. Send those grifters home, and send Tate back to jail.
    2
  171. Trans women have been using women's spaces for decades. Predators aren't pretending to be trans to enter these spaces.
    2
  172. ​ @zachman5150  Stop consuming oxygen.
    2
  173. ​ @zachman5150  Fascist filth.
    2
  174. Cis is literally just an adjective that means you're not trans. Do you disagree with that characterization?
    2
  175. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  176. Being LGBTQ+ is not a mental illness, nor is it political. And teaching about them is beneficial, as it makes them more understanding towards LGBTQ+ people and makes them feel more accepted if they themselves happen to be LGBTQ+.
    2
  177.  @pleasantdashi7112  What if a kid is gay? They might be confused about who they are for years and years. If their parents are homophobic they'd be living with fear, guilt, and shame over what they're feeling.
    2
  178. True, conservatives are freaks.
    2
  179. That's not what cis means...
    2
  180. Why does someone need to go through adolescence before they can know that trans people exist?
    2
  181. Just put your fingers in your ears and bury your head in the sand.
    2
  182. Reactionary cultists aren't the "silent majority" by any means, they're a loud minority.
    2
  183. I hope you get exactly what you deserve, filth.
    2
  184.  @zachman5150  Obsessed. Now let the other person answer, if you would.
    2
  185.  @Melody2004.  It's a female gender identity.
    2
  186. Trans is an adjective. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  187.  @sohailahaithem2424  She.
    2
  188.  @deonjonesjr1396  "Biological woman" is a meaningless phrase as gender is not a matter of biology. All gender is socially constructed. You cannot point to any biological factor that will determine one's womanhood or manhood without inadvertently leaving people out of that categorization who you would otherwise consider to be women or men respectively. There's women without a uterus or with a y chromosome. There's men without testes. To insist that gender depends on biological factors is both inaccurate and also completely useless as a practical definition. Because in everyday interactions, you don't know anything about most people's genitals or chromosomes. You likely don't even know for a fact what your own chromosomal makeup is.
    2
  189.  @sohailahaithem2424  Completely missed the point. You seem determined to never learn.
    2
  190. Because one side is trans women and one side is conservative women?
    2
  191.  @saidnaitsalh3251  Yeah, trans women are women.
    2
  192. No one's saying you're not a woman. I don't get what the issue is with being called cisgender. It just means you're not trans.
    2
  193. If you are not transgender, congratulations, you're a cisgender person. That's literally all it means. Getting upset over this is like getting upset over being called "straight".
    2
  194. You're an insane person.
    2
  195.  @zachman5150  You already said that. Is your memory alright?
    2
  196. True, this transphobic moral panic exists because the GOP has an easier time getting votes with hate than with actual policies that help people.
    2
  197. Oh look, it's the one joke that transphobes have.
    2
  198. Swim on back to TERF island.
    2
  199.  @zachman5150  Oh wow, you really found a little phrase you're proud of again, huh? Gone full-on broken record mode again.
    2
  200. She's a Prager U propagandist.
    2
  201. Her? The PragerU lady? 😬
    2
  202. No, trans people as a group don't pose a danger to kids. No, they're not trying to turn anyone trans. Stop buying into the moral panic.
    2
  203. Why is exploring your gender identity "adult behavior"? Why should anyone under 18 be kept completely ignorant on societal issues or on the reality that LGBTQ+ people exist? Why would education be solely to prepare you for working life? Is that not incredibly dystopian?
    2
  204. Trans women are women who are trans. And people looking to assault women don't "pretend to be trans" just to get into public bathrooms, it's not like they're guarded or anything. Not to mention that a cisgender woman is also capable of committing assault. Should we ban them from the women's bathroom as well, just to be safe?
    2
  205.  @zachman5150  You can take that hike by yourself.
    2
  206. Gender dysphoria isn't the same as being trans. The way you treat gender dysphoria is by transitioning.
    2
  207. If womanhood is defined purely by what body parts you have, that disqualifies a lot of cis women from womanhood.
    2
  208. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  209. When trans women ask you to respect their pronouns, it's because they'd like to be seen as and acknowledged as women. When cis women ask you not to call them cis women, it's because they want to refuse to see and acknowledge trans women as women.
    2
  210. Yeah, drag isn't trans
    2
  211. My socks are becoming more and more socky
    2
  212. I have no problem acknowledging that I'm cisgender. Seems only logical that if we have an adjective for trans folks, we'd have one for us non-trans folks as well.
    2
  213. Those aren't mutually exclusive in any way.
    2
  214. Trans is an adjective. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  215. Trans people see themselves for who they are, often after a long time of denial: they see that they're trans.
    2
  216.  @cqllel5186  You're just a transphobic armchair psychologist.
    2
  217. You think people should be locked up over a name?
    2
  218. "Social contagion" is horseshit.
    2
  219. Why don't you want to be called cis?
    2
  220. They do!
    2
  221. Because it makes them happier to have a body that looks like they want it to look, and to be recognized by others as the gender they identify as.
    2
  222. You're a cis woman.
    2
  223.  @kathyyore309  I have animosity? You're the one posting this transphobic garbage.
    2
  224.  @kathyyore309  Yes, you saying that trans women aren't "real women" is transphobic and shows your animosity against these people. Also I literally just linked you an article showing that the word cisgender has been in use for years, and that the first usage dates back to the early 90s.
    2
  225.  @kathyyore309  There's that smug deliberate ignorance transphobes are known for.
    2
  226.  @kathyyore309  Ah, there it is. The religious nonsense at the core of it. Now the ignorance makes even more sense.
    2
  227. But that's objectively false. Those aren't the only chromosomal combinations people can have. Nor does that even matter considering gender and sex aren't the same thing.
    2
  228. Trans women are women, dipshit.
    2
  229. You are.
    2
  230. You're thinking of conservatives.
    2
  231. True, conservatives need professional help.
    2
  232. She.
    2
  233.  @kathrynnnnn  Trans men are men who are trans, just like tall men are men who are tall. The last time a subcategory of men got their own men's room it was due to extreme racism, by the way. Wasn't great.
    2
  234. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    2
  235. Another deranged cultist here.
    2
  236. What's offensive about the word "cis"?
    2
  237. Wrong. People like Amala are why there's "pushback", or rather an insane reactionary moral panic.
    2
  238.  @grahamchamberlain3141  The truth hurts people like Dennis Prager, hence why he's set up his so-called "university" to try and undermine it. And people like Amala make a living helping him do just that.
    2
  239. "pOiNt BlAnK pErIoDt!!!!!!"
    2
  240. Conservatives aren't normal people.
    2
  241. Why would anyone want to follow a Prager U propagandist?
    2
  242. Your reactionary transphobic rhetoric isn't protecting a goddamn thing.
    2
  243. First time learning about adjectives?
    2
  244. Conservatives are delusional.
    2
  245. Being gay and being trans aren't the same thing. And by all means, barf your guts out. Maybe you'll feel better after, you big baby.
    2
  246. Yeah what a shame you weren't there to be a transphobic shithead 🙄
    2
  247. Cis isn't a degrading word.
    2
  248. Put yourself to bed.
    2
  249. She.
    2
  250. You don't think there's utility in having an adjective for people who aren't trans?
    2
  251. @Sarah-vd6ho  Men and women are nouns. Which apply to men and women whether they're cis or trans.
    2
  252. What's wrong with you?
    2
  253. Trans women are women, and nothing can change that.
    2
  254. Statistically, men pretending to be trans to enter women's spaces simply does not happen to any remotely significant degree. But trans women being abused in these spaces, that does. Why would trans people want to segregate themselves? What they need is acceptance. But they're not getting it as long as people keep parroting this ignorant crap.
    2
  255. Well they are conservatives.
    2
  256. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  257. Are you really still here, dude? You are bizarrely obsessed with hating trans people. That seems to be a common thing among transphobes, that their transphobia is all they really have going on.
    2
  258. Why though?
    2
  259.  @stylishdinero3720  Nobody's saying you're not women though.
    2
  260.  @stylishdinero3720  And in most contexts, everyone will. The term "cis" is just an adjective. In some contexts like this discussion it makes sense to use the phrase cis women to differentiate them from trans women. Just like you'd say tall women and short women in a discussion about height.
    2
  261. Not a compliment
    2
  262. "Sex is binary, except when it isn't, but let's ignore that"
    2
  263. It's so embarassing when transphobes pretend to be feminists.
    2
  264. It's the government that's making it impossible to live for trans people in more and more states.
    2
  265.  @zachman5150  You should try that.
    2
  266. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  267. Source?
    2
  268. Your claim is statistically unsupported.
    2
  269. Do you just have something against the concept of adjectives?
    2
  270. The ancient mythology you've decided to base your life around is not truth.
    2
  271. True, conservatives tend to be pretty confused.
    2
  272. They're trans women.
    2
  273. So women are defined by their genitals?
    2
  274. Yes, you're women who are cis
    2
  275.  @Mr.JoeBangles  Trans and cis are adjectives. A trans woman is a woman who is trans, and a cis woman is a woman who is cis. Pretty simply. And screaming "FACTS!!!" doesn't make your statement factual.
    2
  276.  @Mr.JoeBangles There's no "trans cult", and all words are equally made up. And again, not "transwomen", but trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    2
  277. The medical interventions didn't exist in the past, at least before the past century or so. But historically there's many examples as people who were born as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.
    2
  278.  @anniesmolkin7685  I misspoke, apologies. I do believe they were born transgender, people don't choose that. What I meant to say is that historically, there's been plenty of examples of people living as a gender other than the one they were assigned. People who were raised as girls but grew up to live as men, and vice versa. And people keep going on about the risk and effects of transitioning, well what about the risks of not transitioning? Do you think it's harmless to make a transgender teen go through puberty? Because it'd be as harmful as giving hormone therapy to a cisgender teen.
    2
  279. ​ @zachman5150  Another classic Zeep non-response.
    2
  280. She.
    2
  281. True, kids should never be exposed to conservatism.
    2
  282. Conservatism is incredibly unattractive.
    2
  283. Nope, they're women.
    2
  284. Uh, no, you can call yourself a woman and people will still continue to call you a woman. Trans women are women who are trans, and cis women are women who are cis.
    2
  285.  @zachman5150  You're the confused one, shitheel. Now go play in traffic. You don't get to promote violence against trans people and then act like you're just here to discuss a topic.
    2
  286. Republicans are trying to take their rights away as we speak in various states.
    2
  287.  @zachman5150  If you want people to argue with you in earnest, don't be a smug transphobic troll. I'll answer if someone else asks.
    2
  288.  @Milosevic.  Women should play in women's sports and men should play in men's sports, including trans women and trans men respectively. Sports organizations can have their own rules for whether hormone therapy is required and how much. Banning trans people from playing with other people of their gender entirely is an attack on their rights, plain and simple. And yes, trans women are women, and trans men are men. Gender and sex aren't the same thing. And I didn't even specify children, but trans minors of the appropriate age should have access to puberty blockers at the very least.
    2
  289. Would you prefer ignorant and reactionary?
    2
  290. Trans women are women who are trans, dipshit.
    2
  291. I agree, conservatives should leave kids alone.
    2
  292. Source?
    2
  293. Cis isn't a pronoun, it's an adjective that literally just means you're not trans.
    2
  294. Indoctrination is what those conservatives are about.
    2
  295. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  296. What do you mean? Conservatives have been around for a long time.
    2
  297. Isn't she the TERF who advocated for violence against trans women? (That was a rhetorical question. She did, in fact, do that.)
    2
  298. Trans women are real women, dipshit.
    2
  299. That's not what a pronoun is.
    2
  300. It's an adjective. Cisgender is an adjective.
    2
  301. That disqualifies women with Swyer Syndrome.
    2
  302.  @vickyrandall4334  That's still roughly half a million women on the planet who fail to meet your definition of womanhood whom you would still consider to be a woman.
    2
  303.  @vickyrandall4334  How about making some exceptions for trans women too then?
    2
  304.  @vickyrandall4334  What about the minority of cisgender women who take advantage of women in vulnerable situations?
    2
  305. What's disrespectful about it? You're a woman, and you're cisgender.
    2
  306. Segregation is bad.
    2
  307. The obsession continues.
    2
  308. Of course you can still be called a woman. No one said you couldn't. Cis is just an adjective meaning you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth, essentially the opposite of trans.
    2
  309. No one's born a woman. It's something you become. Most by simply growing up, others by transitioning.
    2
  310. Trans women aren't cis women, but they're women. Or are you arguing that post-menopausal cis women cease to be women? Or that cis women with persistent long-term amenorrhea aren't women? Pick any sex characteristic to use to define womanhood or manhood and you'll find that you're excluding people who you would otherwise absolutely consider to be women or men respectively.
    2
  311.  @deezknotsonyourchin  There's also cis women who don't have a uterus.
    2
  312.  @deezknotsonyourchin  There's cis women who are born without one.
    2
  313.  @zachman5150  Gay people are a minority. Doesn't mean the term "straight" is redundant or unnecessary. Also, I didn't ask you, so be quiet.
    2
  314. Would you say Arwen from The Lord of the Rings is a woman, OsakaJoe01?
    2
  315. Why? Are you a trans woman?
    2
  316. Cis is an adjective. You are a woman. A woman who is cisgender.
    2
  317. I wish Matt Walsh, self-described theocratic fascist, got everything he deserved 🤣
    2
  318. They arent.
    2
  319. No.
    2
  320. Why?
    2
  321. Then you will be wrong for the rest of your life.
    2
  322. It's not a prefix, it's an adjective. You use them all the time.
    2
  323. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. That's the reality.
    2
  324. Lose the scare quotes, shitheel.
    2
  325. If you're a woman, and you're not a cis woman, the only logical conclusion is that you're a trans woman.
    2
  326. No need to insult her.
    2
  327. Why don't you take your Big Problem and shove it?
    2
  328. Not a different category. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  329. Trans women are women, dipshit.
    2
  330. So you'll only use the correct pronouns for trans folks who are "well spoken" enough? Basic respect for someone's identity should be a given, not dependent on whether you like someone enough.
    2
  331.  @MegrelMamba  Transphobes aren't normal.
    2
  332. Nope.
    2
  333. Conservatives live in a world of delusion and make believe. The denial of facts with these people is staggering.
    2
  334. They're not "not men or women" though. They're trans women. Women who are trans.
    2
  335. So you're a trans woman?
    2
  336. Conservatives? I agree.
    2
  337. What would you know about being a nice person?
    2
  338. It means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth.
    2
  339.  @tylarrobertson4319  Yeah they are though.
    2
  340. It's actually this transphobic bigotry that's extremely harmful.
    2
  341.  @geemai435  But that doesn't happen. Men don't pretend to be trans to get into women's spaces. There's no data to suggest that's happening.
    2
  342. ​ @zachman5150  "Bugs" are insects and have NOTHING to do with errors in computer software."
    2
  343. Reactionary fascist.
    2
  344.  @zachman5150  Weak response. Embarassing.
    2
  345. The lie that it's about "biological advantage" really falls apart when you see that they're banning trans women from things like chess. Guess you need a lot of testosterone to move those pawns around the board.
    2
  346. Must be an awfully fragile society if a few trans people can make it collapse.
    2
  347.  @zachman5150  It's pathetic, the way you think of a little phrase you think sounds clever and then just keep repeating it. Almost as pathetic as the way you wish violence on trans people and then ignore it when called out on it. Fascist filth.
    2
  348. You don't think they're conservatives?
    2
  349. Being called cisgender is a "threat" now??
    2
  350. You're still obsessed.
    2
  351. And again with the Star Trek references, have you even watched that show? I can't imagine someone being a Star Trek fan and still being such a reactionary dipshit.
    2
  352. True, and conservatives are even worse.
    2
  353. Trans men do compete against other men, dipshit.
    2
  354. No it's not.
    2
  355. People like Amala are causing problems for people like Blossom, Gina, and Roxana.
    2
  356. The Prager U grifter?
    2
  357. Who is saying you can't call yourself a woman?
    2
  358. Cis is absolutely the accepted terminology. Only transphobes who are too cowardly to just come out and say "real women" use the phrase "biological women".
    2
  359. So then no one's a woman. Because literally no one is born a woman.
    2
  360. Yeah, conservatism is gross.
    2
  361. Might as well just make it women vs women then if we're just getting rid of adjectives.
    2
  362. Why anyone listens to that clown is a mystery to me.
    2
  363. The enemy being the GOP
    2
  364. Not enough not to misgender them apparently.
    2
  365. Why don't you like the word "cis"?
    2
  366. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  367. You are a woman. A woman who is cisgender. And trans women are women as well.
    2
  368. Which means what exactly, Elizabeth?
    2
  369.  @zachman5150  Is your name Elizabeth?
    2
  370.  @elizabethgutierrez5709  Who's getting hormones at a young age?
    2
  371. Bizarre framing of surgery as "mutilation" aside, what do genitals have to do with sports?
    2
  372. Because they don't want to be segregated, they want to participate in society as the gender they are.
    2
  373. Already are, and always will be.
    2
  374. What a disgusting thing to say. Trans people are part of society just as much as you. Demanding that they "be in their own bubble" is evil.
    2
  375.  @zachman5150  No really, point to a specific part of the DSM-5.
    2
  376. Trans women are women, dipshit.
    2
  377. For how much time you spend thinking about trans people, it's crazy that you still haven't gotten it through your thick skull that sex and gender aren't the same thing.
    2
  378. Cis isn't a pronoun...
    2
  379. No, you do.
    2
  380. Unfortunately, conservatism usually goes untreated.
    2
  381. Another violent transphobe.
    2
  382. And adds the problem of bathrooms becoming way more inaccessible across the board. So every bathroom in every building needs a keymaster present at all times now? That how it's gonna work?
    2
  383. She.
    2
  384. Cisgender is the correct term.
    2
  385.  @evagraf1983 Anyone taking money from Prager U is not worth listening to.
    2
  386. You sound unhinged.
    2
  387. Conservatives in a nutshell.
    2
  388.  @hectorportillo2572  And what you meant to write was incorrect. But I get it, you care more about being a reactionary shithead than you do about clear communication or basic human empathy.
    2
  389. How sad that you stopped learning after the third grade.
    2
  390. A semitruck going 80mph vs Matt Walsh
    2
  391.  @yellowtaipan-g3t  This Z P character is also staunchly anti-abortion. Go figure.
    2
  392. Trans people are living rent-free in your head.
    2
  393. Medical experts and organizations disagree with you.
    2
  394. ​ @zachman5150  I put my trust in the majority of medical organizations who have looked into this. Unlike you, who look for anyone who can support your emotion-based position. Now I again request that you find a hole in the ground to curl up in. All you have to offer the world now is irrational transphobic hate.
    2
  395. Adam and Eve never existed. But even if you believe the myth for whatever reason, wouldn't Eve have Adam's XY chromosomes, being made of one of his bones? Sounds like the world's first trans woman to me.
    2
  396.  @robertjericho6291  So you identify as cisgender but you'd prefer to label it something that implies trans people are "abnormal".
    2
  397.  @zachman5150  You particularly are definitely mentally ill though. The way you post the exact same transphobic nonsense every day, that's very unhealthy behavior.
    2
  398.  @zachman5150  You're like a Catholic peasant from the 16th century who somehow ended up in 2023 and now goes to the planetarium every day to scream about how heliocentrism is a lie. Instead of learning, you latch onto your reactionary ignorance and make it everyone else's problem.
    2
  399. I get where you're coming from, but there's plenty of conservatives in Africa too.
    2
  400.  @zachman5150  And yet you keep relying on reactionary arguments instead of what actual scientists are saying. So I ask again, what's at the core of this obsession? What caused you to decide to become a full-time transphobic troll?
    2
  401. No one's saying you're not a woman. But I don't see the issue with the term cisgender. It literally just means you're not trans.
    2
  402. "Way more rights"?
    2
  403. I don't see the issue there? Cisgender is an adjective. A cisgender woman is a woman who is cisgender.
    2
  404. Why?
    2
  405. Why?
    2
  406.  @zachman5150  Once again, Zach! I did not ask you! Begone, begone from me!
    2
  407.  @jenniep.9143  In both cases it's someone using a term to describe you based on your characteristics which they don't possess, isn't it? What's the difference between the two?
    2
  408.  @zachman5150  Funny coming from you.
    2
  409. What I can observe is that you're an obsessed elderly freak. You think about trans people more than the average trans person does.
    2
  410. Her.
    2
  411. And with this comment you've shown yourself to be ugly.
    2
  412.  @zachman5150  Do you legitimately believe that the trans woman in the video is using multiple accounts, some of which made many years ago, to specifically harass you? I think you're projecting, Zach. You believe that everyone is as deranged and obsessed as you are.
    2
  413.  @zachman5150  Ah, he's repeating himself again. Meds must be wearing off.
    2
  414. Source?
    2
  415. Of course it is.
    2
  416. You can just say she.
    2
  417. She.
    2
  418. Cis women aren't some separate category from women. A cis woman is a woman who is cis just as a trans woman is a woman who is trans.
    2
  419. Plain, simple, and wrong.
    2
  420.  @zcarr.kb.m  What is being "shoved down your throat" exactly?
    2
  421. Why?
    2
  422.  @zachman5150  I didn't ask you. Stop answering questions that aren't for you, weirdo.
    2
  423. I don't think trans people have an issue with being called trans though.
    2
  424. They go to the men's room. Easy.
    2
  425. A cis woman is a woman who is cis. Did you all forget what adjectives are?
    2
  426.  @thenman23  A woman can be both trans and short, it's true.
    2
  427. It's not "transwomen", it's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    2
  428. Cis is an adjective that basically just serves as an antonym to trans.
    2
  429. In the phrase "cis woman", cis is short for cisgender, and used as an adjective. A cis woman is a woman who is cis.
    2
  430.  @kateanderson275  It's not a prefix though, it's an adjective in this context, short for cisgender. So it's not "cis-woman", it's cis woman. As in a woman who is cis. Just as you'd call someone a nice woman, or a tall woman, etc.

  457. This embarassing comment could've been prevented by the minimal effort of just glancing at a wikipedia article about the history of trans people.
    1
  458. ​​ @Maximum_unknowns Like I said, glancing at a Wikipedia page would be the minimal possible effort you'd have to do to find out you're wrong. You can and should do more research than that if you want a more comprehensive understanding of how you're wrong. And you don't know what I'm referring to.
    1
  459. Do you disagree with the concept of adjectives?
    1
  460. Because they want to?

  462. Segregation is bad.

  464. Being compared to that creep is absolutely not a compliment.
    1
  465. Just look at the Wikipedia page on transgender history. Plenty of examples there.
    1
  466. Segregation is a bad thing. And you're not a normal person.

  467. Nobody's born a woman, dipshit, everyone's born a little baby. A woman is something you become, whether you're a cis woman or a trans woman.

  470.  @magallanesagustin4952  You're conflating gender and sex. Those aren't the same thing. That's not something made up by leftists, that's the scientific consensus.
    1
  471. The correct terms, you mean.
    1
  472. How does being called cisgender "invalidate" you in any way?
    1
  473. ​ @zachman5150  You should let women answer questions for themselves instead of butting in with your copied-and-pasted little quip.

  481.  @shantel3780 I'm cis and I'm using it. Nothing disrespectful about it.
    1
  482. Straight and cis aren't the same thing, and trans people are regular people too. Why the aversion to clear communication?
    1
  483.  @Lighting6667  Trans people are men and women too. There's utility in being able to specify whether you're referring to someone who's trans or someone who's not, is there not?
    1
  484.  @elliebrooks3611  What does "biological woman" mean, Ellie?
    1
  485.  @MCJustJ420  "A female's perception"? What's that?
    1
  486.  @MCJustJ420 So a female gender identity?
    1
  487.  @MCJustJ420  How is a "female brain" different from a "male brain" in a biological sense?
    1
  488.  @MCJustJ420  I haven't seen any evidence that a male baby and a female baby have drastically different brains from the moment they're born. Wouldn't differences in brain chemistry typically come as the result of hormones? Hormones which trans people who medically transition would also have affecting their brains?
    1
  489.  @Danielmite17  That's not what a pronoun is.
    1
  490. ​ @Danielmite17  I don't think the original commenter said anything about how they themselves wanted to be referred to? They only expressed a serious lack of understanding of how adjectives work.

  491. @danielroethler6234  Try what again, Daniel?
    1
  492. You don't like adjectives?

    1
  497.  @zachman5150  You're a bad person too.
    1
  498. Which is why in order to qualify for most athletic events, trans women are required to undergo hormone therapy for a certain duration in order to eliminate said advantage. There's been rules about this in place for years, why would the government suddenly need to get involved?
    1
  499. There's nothing disrespectful about calling someone cis. That's simply an adjective describing someone who isn't trans.
    1
  500.  @daisyloe  You really think every idea, every opinion, deserves respect?
    1
  501.  @zachman5150  Who are you kidding, Zach? You're obsessed with trans people. You'd watch it religiously.
    1
  502. I don't get this outrage over the word "cis". You don't see straight people throwing a fit over being called straight.
    1
  503. Nope.
    1
  504. Do you think they just... decided not to? Like they just have a pill that makes you not trans but they decided "nah, let's do hormone therapy instead?"
    1
  505. Because they're cisgender.
    1
  506.  @sonny7045  Cis and trans here are used not as prefixes but adjectives. So it's not "transwomen", it's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    1
  507. Another segregationist who didn't learn from history. Sad.
    1
  508. So cisgender women without wombs aren't women?
    1
  509.  @iamthatiam4496  Yes, women with XX chromosomes who were born without a womb exist. And there's plenty of others who have had theirs removed.
    1
  510.  @iamthatiam4496  So which is it? XX chromosomes or womb? Because there's cis women without wombs and there's cis women without XX chromosomes.
    1
  511.  Blue Wolf PHOENIX RISING  Gender and sex aren't the same thing. You treat people as men and women without ever knowing what kind of genitalia they have.

  512.  @joshturner9766  How are you affected by trans rights, Josh?
    1
  513.  @joshturner9766  You don't like your kids learning things that are true?
    1
  514. And so are trans women. Hence the cis and trans adjectives two tell these two groups of real women apart.
    1
  515. Why do you think that trans kids should be forced to go though a puberty that will make them utterly miserable?
    1
  516. There's cisgender women who don't have xx chromosomes.
    1
  517. She's a Prager U grifter. The only thing she has passion for is money.

  523. Magic isn't real.
    1
  524. Do you have anything to add that isn't just reactionary screaming?
    1
  525. And yet, despite all these supposed biological advantages, we consistently see trans woman athletes performing on the same level as cis women. They're not dominating anything. And kids take medicine all the time. But when it comes to preventing gender dysphoria I guess suddenly that doesn't matter anymore.
    1
  526.  @UrSkyRyder  What science and data do you think I'm ignoring?
    1
  527. I guess becoming a Prager U propagandist is a smart move if you like money and feel no obligation to contribute to creating a better world.
    1
  528. They're women, so no.
    1
  529. How do you figure?
    1
  530. Nope. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  531. On the contrary. If a child has basic sex education, they'll be able to comprehend it if they've been sexually abused and tell an adult about it. This scenario you're describing is completely made up.

  533.  @timothya2742  I'm the silly one for not believing in fantasy creatures?
    1
  534. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  535. Conservatives have no real solutions for any real problems. Their worldview necessitates poverty and inequality. So they focus on groups like trans people. Give their voters something to fear, to be irrationally outraged against. Gives them an enemy.
    1
  536.  @attoboi9763  If your country fails because it has some trans people living in it, it never deserved to succeed.
    1
  537. The reason the focus tends to be on trans women is because reactionaries are starting and framing these discussions, and trans women are considered easier to fear monger about. And it seems to have been effective on you.
    1
  538. You are an insane person.
    1
  539. I wish more people saw conservatism as a mental illness.
    1
  540.  @panemp3 Why?
    1
  541. Normal women vs reactionary freaks
    1
  542. What's the problem with the adjective cisgender?
    1
  543. It's not interesting at all though. Cis literally just means you're not trans. The cis women in the video agree that they're cisgender, they just hate that label because accepting it would mean sharing the label of "women" with trans women. It's not about their own identity at all, it's about being transphobic.
    1
  544.  @tinapayne4075  It's not a slur. It's just what we use to differentiate trans people and people who aren't trans. I've yet to hear a useful alternative that isn't transphobic like "real woman" (trans women are real women) or nonsensical like "biological woman" (there are no synthetic women, and womanhood is not tied to biology).
    1
  545. She's a professional grifter for Prager U. She's had media training. Focus less on who's more well-spoken and more on who's factually correct.
    1
  546. If that's the kind of bets you take, stay away from casinos.
    1
  547.  @joethestrat  Because it's been demonstrated over and over that gender-affirming care helps. "Adjusting the mind" aka conversion therapy does not.
    1
  548. So you're a trans woman?
    1
  549. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  550. So women who can't have kids aren't women?
    1
  551. There's nothing disrespectful about being called cis though.
    1
  552. You're cis.
    1
  553. Why do you find it offensive, Ryan?
    1
  554.  @dismal982  She's a pick-me grifter who cares more about making money off of a reactionary audience than she does about other trans people's well being. Misgendering trans people is transphobic.
    1
  555. Cisgender is "demeaning"? How?
    1
  556. You're cis though.
    1
  557. So you're not cis? Does that mean you're trans?
    1
  558. So you're a trans woman?
    1
  559. The term cis isn't something trans people just made up. And no, conservatives are definitely not asking for science to be acknowledged.

  560.  @Mo.1988  You're not normal.
    1
  561. Her.

  562.  @ahski6  I'm not trans, I'm just not a reactionary freak like you folks. Accepting others is pretty easy for most people.

  563. Worthless statistic from a flawed study that conflates gender identity disorder with gender dysphoria, two different diagnoses with different requirements. Deliberate lie, or ignorance?
    1
  564.  @zachman5150  "Scumbag" isn't a slur, scumbag.
    1
  565.  @zachman5150  See, you already make yourself look unhinged with your sheer obsession with trans people, but then there's these weird copied-and-pasted non-sequitur responses that suggest you're legitimately mentally unwell.
    1
  566. Why?
    1
  567. Some of them aren't. But the ones in the video are.
    1
  568. "Normally developed" is an interesting addition. Is your implication that cis women who don't develop normally aren't women?
    1
  569.  @angelkhubukeli4814  But if periods are essential to womanhood to then doesn't that mean that people who don't get periods aren't women by that definition? Which would include some cis women?
    1
  570.  @angelkhubukeli4814  Cool, so it includes trans women too.
    1
  571. She.

  573. Everyone will be happy with segregation?

  574. No it isn't.
    1
  575. Conservatives aren't normal
    1
  576. The Prager U propagandist?
    1
  577. Yes, you're women. Women who are cisgender.
    1
  578.  @tarafenwick7988  Why do you dislike the term cisgender? Is there a different adjective that you would prefer in its place when discussing transgender women and non-transgender women? Because just using "trans women" and "women" causes confusion.
    1
  579.  @tarafenwick7988  "Trans women" is not some separate category from "women". Transgender is an adjective. A transgender woman is a woman who is transgender, trans women are a subsection of women. Yes, to imply that trans women aren't "real women" is, in fact, transphobic.
    1
  580. Might as well just make it women vs women then if we're cutting adjectives.
    1
  581. That would do nothing to alleviate the feeling of dysphoria, in fact it would worsen it.
    1
  582.  @ladycrystal3293  We know that hormone therapy (estrogen for trans women and testosterone for trans men) tends to greatly alleviate dysphoria in trans people, and we know that transgender teens who don't have access to puberty blockers and go through natural puberty (meaning young trans women's bodies are flooded with testosterone and trans men's bodies are flooded with estrogen) go through significantly increased dysphoria. You can't reverse-transition someone out of being trans.
    1
  583.  @kathrynnnnn  Teens generally don't get access to hormone therapy (if they do I believe it's at 16 at the earliest), and teens have their bodies flooded with hormones regardless unless they use the aforementioned puberty blockers. Hence the developing. And no, most people who transition medically don't regret it. Statistically, people who detransition are in the minority, and then among those people, most of them do so because they can't afford to transition or because they're pressured to stop by others. Those who detransition because they actually regret transitioning are a minority of a minority.
    1
  584.  @kathrynnnnn  I don't know where you're getting your info from but that's simply incorrect.
    1
  585. I'm assuming Prager U has the money to put its grifters through extensive media training.
    1
  586. There's nothing less attractive than conservatism.
    1
  587. A woman who is cisgender, meaning that her gender identity matches the gender she was assigned at birth.
    1
  588. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    1
  589.  @autodarwinate  That's a contradictory statement. If they identify as women then they're not men.
    1
  590. Hey guys ❤Let's bring back segregation❤❤❤
    1
  591. True, confused conservatives should not wield all that political power.
    1
  592. So you're a trans woman?
    1
  593. You're offended by the concept of an adjective?
    1
  594. Those aren't mutually exclusive at all though? They're cis women. As in, women who are cis.
    1
  595.  @zachman5150  You stop it. And by "it", I mean breathing. I remember your older comments where you wish violence on trans people. Those aren't going away.
    1
  596. The logical conclusion after those two statements is that you're a trans woman.
    1
  597. Hey, do you know what the universally recommended treatment for gender dysphoria is?
    1
  598.  @autodarwinate  Gonna need a source for that claim there.
    1
  599. @ "The Society For Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) is a non-profit organization that is known for its opposition to gender-affirming care for transgender youth and for engaging in political lobbying. SEGM is known for transgender health care misinformation. It has falsely claimed that the majority of transgender children desist, argued that gender exploratory therapy should be the first line treatment for those under 25, and promoted the scientifically unsupported theory of Rapid-onset gender dysphoria. SEGM is often cited in anti-transgender legislation and court cases, sometimes filing court briefs."
    1
  600. @ As for your second cited source, where is it stated that "gender-affirming care has been proven to cause more harm" in that study?
    1
  601.  @autodarwinate  And the Christian Medical & Dental Association, do I even need to say anything?
    1
  602. So you're a trans woman?
    1
  603. That disqualifies plenty of cis women from womanhood.
    1
  604. Do you legitimately think that's an intelligent question?
    1
  605.  @Melody2004.  But it's not a contradiction, because when they say woman they're referring to gender, not sex.
    1
  606.  @Melody2004.  People who identify as such. Which includes cis women and trans women.
    1
  607. Amala is a professional reactionary grifter. She deserves no respect.

  608. Women with Swyer Syndrome are not women?

  613. There's no trans men in this video, I think you may be confused.
    1
  614. This is a non-argument.
    1
  615. But they literally are cis.
    1
  616. So you're trans?
    1
  617. And why don't you want to be called cis, Beth?
    1
  618.  @RitzRed  I asked you.
    1
  619.  Blue Wolf PHOENIX RISING  Stop projecting, weirdo.
    1
  620. So cis women aren't women during pregnancy or after menopause? There's also cis women who simply don't get periods.
    1
  621.  @Altricksss  So cis women who don't get their periods are still women. But trans women aren't women because... they don't get their periods? Logic isn't lining up here. Womanhood is not defined by whether or not one menstruates.
    1
  622.  @kathrynnnnn  Trans women are a minority too. Why do you exclude one minority of women from womanhood for not menstruating but not the other? And I'm not "going out of my way" to call people cis, I'm using language that accurately represents what I mean. In this context I was referring specifically to cis women and not trans women.
    1
  623.  @kathrynnnnn  There's cisgender women who don't have xx chromosomes though.
    1
  624. Gods don't exist.

  625. Objectively true
    1
  626. So you're a woman, and you're not cis. So you're a trans woman?
    1
  627. Trans men do use men's bathrooms. At least, in states where a reactionary bill hasn't made that illegal.
    1
  628. True, conservatives shouldn't be given a platform.

  629. You would be incorrect.
    1
  630. Demons aren't real, weirdo.

  633. Demons aren't real, weirdo.
    1
  634. You sure seem to delight in your cruelty.
    1
  635. You want to co-exist peacefully but you want to keep trans women out of women's spaces? That's not co-existing peacefully. Nothing is being taken from you by having a trans woman pee in the stall next to you or compete in a sporting event against you. Sports organizations already have rules in place for what hormone levels a trans athlete needs to be at in order to be able to compete. Your blatant misgendering all throughout this comment also shows me that you have no interest in peacefully co-existing with trans people.

  640. You're wrong. People may choose to transition, but being trans is not a choice. And what alleviates the gender dysphoria that many trans people experience is transitioning, not therapy.

  641.  @beneathdatrees0  I don't care about "unnatural". Eyeglasses, pacemakers, and liver transplant surgeries are unnatural too.
    1
  642.  @beneathdatrees0  Yes, transitioning helps trans people in the overwhelming majority of cases.
    1
  643.  @autodarwinate  It's relevent for people who define womanhood by the ability to have a period.
    1
  644. You are obsessed.
    1
  645.  @zachman5150  Sure, Zach. See you tomorrow.

    1
  649. Cis!
    1
  650.  @kathrynnnnn  In regards to tradition I might've used too broad a brush. I think the traditions that conservatives cling to in an attempt to stifle progressive societal change are harmful and unnecessary. I think that's a different thing from traditions that keep a cultural heritage alive, especially when a genocidal force has attempted to erase said culture through violence.
    1

  652.  @sekhmetthe7845  Trans men belong in men's spaces just as trans women belong in women's spaces.

    1
  655. Why? Are you a trans woman?
    1
  656. Because she's a woman
    1
  657. People may choose to transition, but they don't choose to be trans. And you can't make this "we don't care about trans people" argument when it was conservatives who started this whole moral panic in the first place.
    1
  658. Trans women are women and trans men are men. Nothing you can do about it.
    1
  659. We really don't.
    1
  660.  @jacobglg  Conservatism, especially the extreme variety common in the US, is a political ideology that seeks to greatly limit what people can do, not to improve people's lives but to mold society into this arbitrary idealized shape. In the case of trans people for example, it's clear that trans people exist, and it's been demonstrated that letting them transition greatly improves their well being. But conservatives would deny them the ability to transition. Because they would happily deny them that freedom if the concept of "gender" can remain these two immutable little boxes.
    1
  661. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    1
  662. Why?
    1
  663. I agree, conservatives are delusional.
    1
  664. All three of them suffer due to people like Tiffany, Aliya, and especially Amala.
    1
  665. Why?

  666.  @tysymone4788  Are you a trans woman then?
    1
  667. Factually incorrect.

  671. Pathetic.

  672. So cis women who have had a hysterectomy, and post-menopausal cis women aren't women. Got it.
    1
  673. Fascist.

  674.  @everburn  How so?
    1
  675. Check out the boomer ellipses on this one! And yes, she is.
    1
  676. True! And the most effective treatment is transitioning!
    1
  677. It only "offends" them because accepting the label of cis woman requires them to accept trans women as women too. Rejecting a trans person's pronouns and rejecting the adjective of cisgender both come from a place of transphobia.
    1
  678. Does there need to be a "community" for a group of people to exist? Is there a tall community? No, but tall people still exist, and so do cis people. If you dislike the term cisgender so much, what other adjective would you suggest to refer to people who aren't transgender?
    1
  679.  @PollyFoxParanormal  No one is disputing the fact that you're a woman. No one is going to stop calling you a woman. But in this context is it not useful to have terms to differentiate between trans women and cis women?
    1
  680.  @PollyFoxParanormal  But trans here is used as an adjective. So you have women who are trans, and women... without any further elaboration. Like, those women you're referring to in the second group could be trans. So wouldn't it be useful to have an adjective to refer to them, so that people can communicate clearly?
    1
  681.  @PollyFoxParanormal  Oh now it's hyphenated? Nope, it's not "trans-women". It's trans women. As in women who are trans. Seems to me like you just don't want to admit that trans women are women too.
    1
  682.  @PollyFoxParanormal  I meant "second group" as in the second one you mentioned in your comment. Are you against the word "straight" as well? Do you think there's "women" and "gay women"?
    1
  683.  @PollyFoxParanormal  I'd like to just ask, do you reject the adjective "cisgender" because it would mean accepting that transgender women are women too?
    1
  684. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    1
  685. @Bernard Knoll Yes, they are women. I just said so. Are you slow?
    1
  686. @Bernard Knoll Trans women are.
    1
  687. @Bernard Knoll See how you just sneakily put those two words together? It's not "transwomen". It's trans women. Trans is an adjective. Women is a noun. Trans women. Women who are trans.
    1
  688. What's offensive about it, Kaden?

  689. I'd like to reiterate that my question is directed at Kaden, and not any potential insane people who might feel the unstoppable urge to obsessively reply to all of my comments.
    1
  690.  @i_kissed_a_pixie1537  He's not insane for commenting a lot, he's insane for a lot of other reasons like wishing violence and death on trans people. Which is why I make it a point to not interact with him.

  694. It's not "transwomen". It's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    1
  695. That's not a pronoun.
    1
  696. Are you kidding me? It's people like Amala who are literally paid to lead the charge on this transphobic moral panic.
    1
  697. So you don't believe in the concept of adjectives?
    1
  698. It's not "transwomen", it's trans women. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  699. Like clockwork. Why are you so obsessed, Zach?
    1
  700. Fascists shouldn't be given a platform.
    1
  701. Yeah it's almost as if conservatives are factually incorrect
    1
  702. All terms are made up, dummy.
    1
  703. The Prager U grifter?
    1
  704. But they're literally cis.
    1
  705. Fascist freak.
    1
  706. No it isn't.
    1
  707. Should have Matt Walsh in a prison cell.
    1
  708.  @opossum632  He's stated that he doesn't care about respecting the consent of children, seems to be blatantly in favor of teen pregnancy, and sells plush toys of himself in nothing but a diaper. All I'm saying is we should check his hard drive.
    1
  709. Cool, I hope you do get banned for this blatant hate speech.
    1
  710. You're delusional.
    1
  711. Because a trans person isn't a family?
    1
  712. Conservatism is a mental illness IMO.
    1
  713. Pretty much all categories of humans are made up.
    1
  714. Conservatives love to project.
    1
  715. That's a contradiction. A trans woman is a woman who is trans.
    1
  716. Well, I see this comment section is still as much of a cesspool as ever.
    1
  717.  @ChechiDLR  It has nothing to do with bottom surgery. It just means going back to live as a cisgender person. This usually means stopping hormone therapy, yes, and changing the way they present themselves. Many people detransition temporarily because the people around them aren't supportive of them, or because they can't afford the hormone therapy. The detransitioners who detransition because they actually regret transitioning are a minority.
    1
  718. People don't choose to be trans.
    1
  719.  @Mel-wn9gb  Coming to the realization that gender and sex aren't the same thing isn't a choice either, it's a natural conclusion they arrive at when their body and the societal expectations placed on them based on their body doesn't match their gender identity.
    1
  720. Life was already complicated. Conservatives want to simplify it, at the cost of people's happiness, health, and well being.
    1
  721.  @geraldpaul1100  LGBTQ+ people exist. That is a fact. If your society has no room for them, it needs changing. You can't take human society with its incredible range of human experiences and mash it into a mold because you'd prefer things to be simple.

  722.  @sassyscrofa1972  Her.

  723. This comment = transphobia.

  724. Those are reserved for people with a disability.

  725.  @Malana84  Trans women are women who are trans. As such, they use the women's restrooms.
    1
  726. She.

  727.  @andriab8517  Her pronouns are she/her, says so in her instagram profile. Hope that helps 😊

  728.  iiPortiaPlays Trans women are women who are trans.

  729.  @Zoey_0629  As did I.
    1
  730.  @Zoey_0629  Sure it does, that's how gender identity works.
    1
  731. "Why can't they just add a black restroom?"
    1
  732. That literally means you're cis. That's what that means.
    1
  733.  @RicanCastle  You vote conservative because you don't like adjectives?
    1
  734. Nobody is "castrating and mutilating children," and gender-affirming care for minors does include therapy.
    1
  735. You are simply incorrect.
    1
  736. You're cis.
    1
  737. You can if you hate yourself, or if you're just a grifter.
    1
  738.  @Johnthemod222  Just seems to me like being a conservative trans person is kind of going against your own interests, unless you're being like a pick-me grifter.
    1
  739. Trans women are women who are trans. Chromosomes do not define gender, nor do they hold any utility whatsoever in any kind of social setting.
    1
  740. Trans people are part of society too.
    1
  741. The only disease on display here is transphobia.
    1
  742. 6 real women, and 3 of them are crazy (the conservative ones).
    1
  743. You're conflating sex and gender.
    1
  744. It's insane for people to use the bathroom?
    1
  745. "Just look at the boxing in the Olympics"? You mean the women's boxing in the 2024 Olympics? Where all the participants were cis women?
    1
  746. Why don't you want to be called cis though? It's literally just an adjective that means you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth. Is it because it would mean admitting that trans women are women too?
    1
  747.  @GuranPurin  Pronouns refer to gender, not sex. And Blossom is a woman. You're acting like any request to not be called something is fundamentally the same, when in this case one is about a trans person wanting their gender identity acknowledged and respected, and in the other case it's about a cis person wanting trans people not to have their gender identity acknowledged and respected.
    1
  748.  @GuranPurin  So you've just entirely ignored my response.
    1
  749.  @GuranPurin  How is it disrespectful to say you're cisgender?
    1
  750.  @GuranPurin  What adjective would you use to describe someone who is not transgender?
    1
  751. But the reason they don't want to be called a cis woman is because it would mean admitting that trans women are women too.
    1
  752.  @Milosevic.  Republicans are attacking trans people's ability to transition medically, to legally have their gender recognized, and to participate in sports.
    1
  753.  @dismal982  Hormone blockers aren't permanent. And detransitioners are a tiny minority, and most detransitioners detransition because of a lack of social support or funds.

  754. ​ @zachman5150  Go find a hole in the ground to curl up in.
    1
  755. So you're a trans woman.
    1
  756. Cool, so trans women are women.
    1
  757. No, it isn't. The scientific consensus disagrees with you.
    1
  758.  @gianthills  Just look at the DSM-5.
    1
  759. Do you not know what an adjective is?
    1
  760. Why do you have a pedophile as your profile pic?
    1
  761. Not a double standard.
    1
  762. Why is it so annoying to you that there's a word for someone who isn't trans?
    1
  763.  @Sparkle132  It's not a pre-fix, it's an adjective. You're still a woman. A woman who is cisgender.
    1
  764. Trans people are normal people, but they're not "normal people like you and me". Because you, you are not normal.
    1
  765. Women have been serving as firefighters for decades though.
    1
  766. Source?

  767. Christine, the public bathroom door is not locked, it's already open
    1
  768. Do you know what an adjective is?
    1
  769. Why?
    1
  770.  @pjmaxxx556  Is there anyone who won't call her a woman though?
    1
  771. There's nothing disrespectful about the term cisgender though.
    1
  772. Trans women and cis women are real women.
    1
  773.  @adorejayla1  Do you know what an adjective is?
    1
  774. ​ @zachman5150  Use it on yourself first to make sure it works.
    1
  775. No, not a lot of them actually.
    1
  776. Fascist.
    1
  777. Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Demons aren't real.
    1
  778.  @hookedinaction3085  No, they're not. It's frankly insane to believe in stuff like that.
    1
  779.  @hookedinaction3085  Because men are men and women are women, whether through transition or through naturally occuring puberty.
    1
  780.  @jamelbruu2482  Transphobia isn't truth.
    1
  781.  @zachman5150  That's cute. You think you're the "vast majority".
    1
  782. It's true, conservatism is like a cult.
    1
  783. It's cis women, not cyst. And trans and cis are simply adjectives here that are relevant when discussing women who are specifically trans or cis.
    1
  784.  @sohailahaithem2424  You are a woman! A woman who is cisgender. And real, yes, I don't think you're a fictional woman or some sort of synthetic woman.
    1
  785.  @sohailahaithem2424  If you're not cisgender, that means you're transgender.
    1
  786. There are differences between cis women and trans women, anyone would agree on that. Doesn't mean they're not all women.
    1
  787. Are you transgender?
    1
  788.  @deezknotsonyourchin  And like I said, for every example of those, there's women who lack it. So where does that get us?
    1
  789. Cis literally just means you're not trans. Why would you take offense to that?
    1
  790.  @PotatoSlices  Trans women aren't pretending to be cis. But they are women.
    1
  791. Why would you want kids to be kept ignorant about the existence of trans people?
    1
  792. Conservatism is a mental illness.
    1
  793.  @UnitedStatesOfTexas  Your comment isn't substantive enough to warrant a rebuttal. Mockery is all you deserve.
    1
  794. Why? Are they trans?
    1
  795.  @handle-h5m  If you're not trans, then definitionally, you're cis. That's just what that word means.
    1
  796. Disturbing.
    1
  797. No one's saying you're not a woman though.
    1
  798. Oily London is an anti-trans grifter now, in an ironic twist.
    1
  799. Makes complete sense. It's conservatives who lack credibility and hold delusional beliefs.
    1
  800. Transitioning isn't just surgery, and it certainly doesn't involve surgery for a child.
    1
  801.  @Draco19970125  Well yeah, the whole idea of puberty blockers is to use them to block puberty.
    1
  802. Trans men know pretty well what it's like to have a period, actually.
    1
  803. It's literally just an adjective that means you're not trans.
    1
  804. Wrong on both counts.
    1
  805. Do you understand how adjectives work?
    1
  806. Conservatives are delusional. It is sad that they are demanding that we all affirm their delusion.
    1
  807. She's a tool used to cause harm, I agree.
    1
  808. But family-friendly drag shows aren't anything that kids need to be protected from.
    1
  809.  @Mayisonlineeee  Trans women aren't making cis women less safe. A predator isn't going to pretend to transition to enter women's spaces, they can already just walk into a locker room or bathroom. This is the same kind of fear mongering that we saw around gay people decades ago. It's recycled bigotry.
    1
  810. She works for Prager U, so there ya go. Conservative media with big money behind it gets pushed way harder.
    1
  811.  @autodarwinate  The end goal of this reactionary moral panic is to make trans people non-existent, invalid, without rights, and invisible.
    1
  812. ​ @joethestrat ​ Not "trans-women." Trans women. As in, women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    1
  813. You transphobes should stop pretending to be feminists. You're bigots, own it.
    1
  814.  @lukecarroll19  A transphobe is someone who has an irrational aversion, fear, or other negative reaction towards trans people. Shown clearly here by their blatant misgendering of the trans women in the video.
    1
  815.  @lukecarroll19  It's not "transwomen", it's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    1
  816.  @kathrynnnnn  Aw, am I being rude to transphobes who are posting blatant hate speech? Gosh, I am so sorry! Bigots clearly deserve our respect! I can't believe I've been so blind!
    1
  817. Drag queens are cisgender men by definition I'm pretty sure. And why is it a bad thing for them to read stories to kids?
    1
  818. Amala is dangerous, actually. She's a professional propagandist for a very dangerous organization.
    1
  819. So funny when the insane cultist is correct by complete accident 😂
    1
  820. She.
    1
  821.  @SA_Solution  No one's born a woman.
    1
  822. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  823. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  824. A lot of cis folks aren't normal.
    1
  825. Learning that trans people exist is "mature content"?
    1
  826. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  827. Being trans is not a mental illness.
    1
  828. Someone's developed a taste for kool-aid.
    1
  829. You don't like adjectives?
    1
  830.  @chall8114  When you start out blatantly misgendering these trans people, that tells me you don't care much about being a nice person. And I didn't call you a troll, that Zach weirdo called me one. Because he's projecting.
    1
  831. Who's saying you aren't?
    1
  832. There's people who you would identify as a woman who have a chromosomal makeup that isn't XX.
    1
  833.  @extremeresponsibility  Doesn't matter if it's an "extreme exception". One instance of a five-legged chair renders the statement "all chairs have four legs" incorrect.
    1
  834. But they're only against being called cisgender because it would mean having to recognize transgender people as the gender they identify as as well. It comes from a place of bigotry.
    1
  835. Lmao, you think conservatives are silenced? That's funny.
    1
  836. Being trans isn't a mental disorder.
    1
  837. Trans women are women who are trans. Womanhood is not defined by having a menstrual cycle, or otherwise the label would cease to apply to many cis women as well.
    1
  838. Segregation is bad.
    1
  839. Spoken like a fascist.
    1
  840.  @Milosevic.  Follow your leader then and inject some lead.
    1
  841. On what basis do you say they're not conservative?
    1
  842. Working for Prager U automatically disqualifies one from being amazing.
    1
  843. Trans is an adjective. A trans woman is a woman who is trans.
    1
  844. People don't choose to be trans though.
    1
  845. Yeah they are.
    1
  846. "Biological woman" makes no sense. Trans women aren't androids.
    1
  847. True, conservatism is insanity and trans women are women.
    1
  848. She's a professional grifter for Prager U.
    1
  849.  @clickchick6886  Those are in no way mutually exclusive.
    1
  850. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  851. Yeah they are.
    1
  852. Sad to see people gleefully chugging the kool-aid.
    1
  853. No they aren't.
    1
  854. Go away, Amala.
    1
  855.  @zachman5150  Why'd you use a show for your analogy that you've clearly never watched?
    1
  856. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  857. It's not "transwomen", it's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    1
  858. Why would they fight for their own arbitrary segregation?
    1
  859.  @cultofvapingcat181 Tyf een eind op.
    1
  860. Trans women vs insane women.
    1
  861. Uh, yeah, women who are cisgender.
    1
  862.  @drrd4127  But cisgender is an adjective. When you're referred to as a cis woman, you're being referred to as a woman. Specifically, a woman who is cis.
    1
  863. "Yay, segregation! ❤"
    1
  864. They're all real women.
    1
  865. Some people might get swept up by the fear mongering, but I truly believe the people behind these "bathroom laws" are fully aware of what you're saying. It's all just attempts to make it harder to be openly trans. Fascism in action.
    1
  866. You should find a role model who isn't a professional propagandist for Prager U.
    1
  867. She's a Prager U grifter. Not someone to look up to.
    1
  868. Because socially we recognize gender, not biology. The overwhelming majority of people don't even know for sure what chromosomes they have. I mean, do you know yours? Have you checked? Because there's people out there who don't fit into the XX and XY boxes. If we're going to do away with gendered spaces, then we should just be rid of them, and not try to introduce weird and unnecessary chromosomal spaces to take their place.
    1
  869. One is literally a reactionary grifter working for Prager U and one is a religious nut.
    1
  870. Because they're women. So they use the women's room. Forcing them to use the other one is like legally mandated humiliation. The cruelty is the point.
    1
  871.  @baeoshi  Only they have an actual point, considering this anti-trans hysteria is now even causing cis women to question and accuse each other of being trans. Trans people just want to use the facilities in peace like anyone else.
    1
  872.  @SydtheSquid112  In your own bathroom, you can decide what happens. In public bathrooms, trans men use the men's room and trans women use the women's room.
    1
  873.  @SydtheSquid112  As long as public bathrooms are divided by gender, trans women use women's rooms because they're women, and trans men use the men's room because they're men. I'm all for making bathrooms unisex but that's not really my decision.
    1
  874.  @SydtheSquid112  I really wish you transphobic types would stop pretending to be feminists. It's never convincing.
    1
  875. Because the transphobic moral panic has an easier time spreading fear about trans women than about trans men.
    1
  876. The Prager U grifter?
    1
  877. It's not "transwoman", it's trans woman. As in, a woman who is trans.
    1
  878. Go away, Amala.
    1
  879.  @mr.mclibtard5015  Sure.
    1
  880.  @zachman5150  Instead of predicting my responses to these comments, why don't you go play in traffic?
    1
  881. When you use "female" as a noun it makes you sound like a Ferengi.
    1
  882. What "ideology?"
    1
  883. Why would they do that? That would just increase their gender dysphoria.
    1
  884. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    1
  885. The Prager U grifter?
    1
  886. You want to be a Prager U grifter too?
    1
  887. Tends to be that way when one side is overwhelmingly wrong.
    1
  888. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  889.  @Julasoxich  Why?
    1
  890. @MsRikihana  No one's saying you're not though.
    1
  891. ​ @MsRikihana By all means, enlighten me.
    1
  892. Because they're women.
    1
  893. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  894. Trans men are men who are trans.
    1
  895.  @elizabethgutierrez5709  I'm not aware of that happening anywhere.
    1
  896. Incorrect.
    1
  897.  @zachman5150  Did your wife leave you for a trans person or something? This obsession is truly bizarre. It's something you often see in transphobes, their irrational hatred is all they have in life.
    1
  898. But it literally does. That's how gender identity works. Do you think a doctor who looked at a baby's genitals for two seconds knows more about what that baby's gender identity would be than that baby themselves after they've grown up?
    1
  899. Cis women are women who are cis.
    1
  900. Supporting women includes supporting trans women. Not arbitrarily excluding them. In sports, opportunities are won, not given. When trans people play sports against others of their gender, they do so only after going through sufficient hormone therapy, after which they perform on similar levels to their cisgender peers. So no, no opportunities were "taken".
    1
  901.  @sohailahaithem2424  Of course it does. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  902. We don't need a conservative anything.
    1
  903. Why? That seems kind of irrational.
    1
  904. Because that doesn't help them.
    1
  905. "Cis" isn't a pronoun, it's literally just an adjective for a person who isn't trans
    1
  906. If you were in some accident and you woke up decades later only to find that the only way to save you was to transplant your brain into a fully androgynous robotic body with no sex characteristics or female biological traits whatsoever. Would you still be a woman? Would you still live as one, dress as one, use she/her pronouns?
    1
  907. She. And cis is literally just an adjective that means you're not trans. It's not "cis-women", it's cis women. No one is saying you're not a woman.
    1
  908.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  So you're just against the general concept of adjectives?
    1
  909.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  I never chose the other adjectives that apply to me either though. That's not really how language works. I have a certain height, so I'm considered tall. I have no hair on my head, so I'm considered bald. I'm not trans, so I'm considered cis.
    1
  910.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  What? It's literally just an adjective that's only used when it's relevant. No one's saying you're not a woman. You will still be referred to as a woman. The adjective cisgender is only relevant when making a distinction between cisgender and transgender people, as was done in the video. Just like I'm only referred to as tall when height is relevant to what's being talked about.
    1
  911.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  Her.
    1
  912. ​@taylorjenkinsto2279 Took a while but we finally got to the blatant transphobia at the core of it all.
    1
  913. "It"? Had to dehumanize her, huh?
    1
  914. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  915. Why? Are you trans?
    1
  916.  @monohina1997  She.
    1
  917.  @monohina1997  Yeah she is.
    1
  918. Why would you want to invite that creep?
    1
  919.  @IZaubermausI  Don't pretend to care about the wellbeing of trans women when you can't even be bothered not to misgender them.
    1
  920. This "wE cAn AlWaYs TeLl!!!" attitude now regularly has transphobic cis women pointing fingers at each other. Pretty hilarious to see.
    1
  921. Trans women are women. And you're wrong about them not fearing predators, they have to deal with them too. Also, regularly taking estrogen decreases one's muscle mass significantly.
    1
  922. Important to what?
    1
  923. If your kid happens to be trans, homeschooling them won't somehow make them not trans.
    1
  924. A trans woman is a woman who is trans.

  925.  @Thoughtpologetics  Sure. Cis women and trans women are both just different kinds of women, after all.
    1
  926.  @jule3480  "A trans"? A trans what?
    1
  927.  @joshturner9766  But I'm not. Cry about it.
    1
  928. So you're a trans woman?
    1
  929.  @kuroe-chan5190  A cis person is literally just a person who isn't trans.
    1
  930.  @SailorMouthGamer  You're cis.
    1
  931.  @SailorMouthGamer  Well you're not trans, are you? So that leaves one alternative. You're cis.
    1
  932. Yes, conservatives are delusional.
    1
  933.  @pm1660  I know, pretty disturbing for someone to say they want to assault a woman so openly.
    1
  934. That's nonsensical.
    1
  935. My taxes fund the healthcare of others? Excellent.

  936. It moves humanity forward by allowing a part of humanity that historically has often had to hide who they are, to live freely as themselves and fully participate in society. There's many highly creative trans people out there. Humanity gains nothing by making them miserable. In fact, it means we miss out on what they can contribute to society.
    1
  937.  @zachman5150  Then why is their ability to do so being constantly eroded by these reactionary freaks? If they had their way, a trans person wouldn't even be able to use a public bathroom without going through the humiliating ordeal of using the opposite gender's bathroom, where they would be completely out of place. If they had their way, they wouldn't be able to participate in sports, an activity through which many people find a community and purpose. If they had their way, they'd be misgendered at their workplace and by their landlord with no recourse whatsoever. All these things add up to slowly make a trans person's existence more and more miserable, which is their goal. Also, whatever shitty little retort you're planning to copy and paste, I'm not interested. This comment was for the benefit of anyone else reading this thread. I know you're too far gone to be reasoned with.

  938. You're scared of children's books?

  939.  @bre777bre  They are.

  940.  @bre777bre  Then you believe wrong.
    1
  941. She.
    1
  942.  @magallanesagustin4952  Yes.
    1
  943. She.
    1
  944. ​ @jpc08109  They are. DNA does not define gender. Gender and sex are not the same thing.
    1
  945.  @jpc08109  Nope, you're thinking of sex, not gender.
    1
  946. You do know that the singular "they" has been used for literal centuries, don't you?
    1
  947. Just search "cis Latin"
    1
  948. So you're trans?
    1
  949. See, kids? You too can vote against your own interests when you grow up!
    1
  950. Her?
    1
  951. We're really going to just construct an additional room in every single building just because a bunch of transphobes are caught up in an irrational moral panic? Should we go back to racially segregated bathrooms as well to placate the racists?

  952.  @LOL-ro9ef  What kind of metal?

  953. The professional propagandist working for Prager U?
    1
  954. Why?
    1
  955.  @Tamara_Middleton  Are you transgender?
    1
  956.  @Tamara_Middleton  If there's a label for being trans, wouldn't it make sense for there to be a label for being cis as well? The same way we have gay, bi, etc but straight as well.
    1
  957.  @zachman5150  You are not part of this conversation. Begone.
    1
  958.  @Tamara_Middleton  Nobody's saying you're not a woman or demanding that you stop referring to yourself as such. The cis label just means you're not trans. And it's only really relevant in certain contexts anyway. I genuinely don't see what could be offensive about it.
    1
  959. Trans women are women who are trans. And this video features a cis woman who can't give birth either.
    1
  960.  @zachman5150  You really need to stop replying to me. I do not want to talk to a violent fascist.
    1
  961. The existence of the word "tall" doesn't mean we don't need the word "short".
    1
  962.  @teresamarie7460  It has now!
    1
  963. What's at the core of this obsession, Zach? Normal people don't act the way you do.
    1
  964. People like you definitely won't be looked back on favorably.

  965. How is what's between someone's legs your business, creep?
    1
  966. You're thinking of conservatives.
    1
  967.  @SydtheSquid112  Still didn't tell me what "extra rights" trans people supposedly have.
    1
  968.  @killakrissy  The major scientific organizations all support the notion that gender and sex aren't the same thing. Acknowledging the reality that trans women are women too is not "acting like science isn't real".
    1
  969.  @killakrissy  Why? If we've got trans women as a subcategory of women, then isn't there utility in also having an adjective for the subcategory of women who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth?
    1
  970.  @killakrissy  But "woman" could refer to a trans woman as well. Mind you, in the vast majority of contexts it would do perfectly well to simply refer to a woman as a woman, whether they're cis or trans. But in certain contexts it's useful to have a term describing either subcategory.
    1
  971.  @CalistaAlvarez  It's an adjective. If you're being referred to as a cis woman, you are being referred to as a woman. Namely, a woman who is cisgender.
    1
  972. Most people who detransition do so because of a lack of social support or because they financially can't afford the hormones.
    1
  973.  @oliviairving114  By social support I mean support from the people around them. Family, friends, coworkers, etc. And yes, ceasing transition is what detransitioning means. If a trans person on hormone therapy stops taking it, the effect's going to gradually reverse as their body resumes producing hormones.
    1
  974. What's disrespectful is this other label you've chose, that of "real woman", implying that trans women are not "real women". Your rejection of the term "cis" has nothing to do with your identity, only with your transphobia.
    1
  975.  @jenniep.9143  Would you be comfortable being called a tall woman by someone shorter than you?
    1
  976. You used a label to refer to cis women twice in this comment.
    1
  977. One look at your channel tells me you'll happily engage in your own delusion. But being trans is not a delusion.
    1
  978. Some of them are, sure
    1
  979.  @degstoll  Of course they are.
    1
  980.  @degstoll  Well no, a cat person typically refers to a person with an affinity for cats. Whereas a trans woman is a woman who is trans.
    1
  981. Cis is an adjective that comes from the Latin prefix cis-, which means "on this side of". It's the antonym of "trans".
    1
  982. Why?
    1
  983. Cis is literally just an adjective that means someone who's not trans.
    1
  984. True, conservatism is insanity.
    1
  985. Being a professional grifter for Prager U is pretty much the opposite of dope.
    1
  986.  @Bobbyblueshay Trans women are women who are trans. Can't change that.
    1
  987. Being trans isn't a mental illness, and sex and gender aren't the same thing.
    1
  988. ​ @zachman5150  You're doing that thing again where you reply with something you've already said that isn't relevant to what you're replying to.
    1
  989. Why are you calling them "biological women" if they're just "pOiNt BlAnK pErIoDt" women? Why is that adjective okay and "cis" not okay?
    1
  990. Cisgender is a term that was coined decades ago. It's been in the dictionary since 2015. It sees widespread academic use, and it has seen that use for decades now. Meanwhile, "biological woman" is a term used by reactionaries who have a problem with the term cisgender for whatever reason.
    1
  991. You're women. Women who are cisgender.
    1
  992. Do you understand the concept of adjectives?
    1
  993. It's simple to demand that every public venue construct a fourth type of bathroom because some people are irrationally outraged about trans people using theirs?
    1
  994. What kind of reactionary trad nonsense is this?
    1
  995. Her.
    1
  996.  @zachman5150  Your life seems to revolve around hating trans people. I mean, you're here every single day, and in other comment sections about trans people as well. What a strange and sad obsession.
    1
  997. What are you basing that on? Every trans person I've seen has had interests they're passionate about.
    1
  998.  @zachman5150  I support freedom and equality, and oppose irrational bigotry. You seem to only want to spread ignorance and hate, and make yourself look smart. Though you do a poor job at it.
    1
  999. Yes, she should go away.
    1
  1000. But there's nothing disrespectful about the term cisgender.
    1
  1001.  @sdvegansoulkitchen6870  So do you not use any adjectives to describe yourself, ever?
    1
  1002. Mental illness is when a trans woman is sponsored by a beer company and you obsess over it for weeks.
    1
  1003.  @pinkgoddess5428  Which one? Adjectives?
    1
  1004.  @thenman23  Your reading comprehension needs work.
    1
  1005.  @thenman23  Absolutely not.
    1
  1006.  @thenman23  A woman is a woman. A trans woman is a woman who is trans. How are you not getting this?
    1
  1007.  @thenman23  A tall woman is a woman who is tall. A short woman is a woman who is short. Are you with me so far?
    1
  1008. So your rejection of the adjective "cis" is so you can pretend that trans women are "unnatural" and "non-biological" basically.
    1
  1009. There's already nothing stopping those men.
    1
  1010. "Wtf why don't they just bring back segregation"
    1
  1011. So cis women who don't get periods aren't women?
    1
  1012.  @cquinn4555  And I love how you dismiss them even though they destroy your definition of womanhood.
    1
  1013.  @Milosevic.  I'm not arguing that cisgender women won can't get periods aren't women. I'm arguing that your notion that womanhood requires periods is false.
    1
  1014. All of that can be part of the same conversation, can't it?
    1
  1015. True, no point in putting them in videos with insane conservatives all the time
    1
  1016. They're already allowed to use the women's restroom, at least, in places where reactionaries haven't made it illegal yet.
    1
  1017. There's one on trans women for sure.
    1
  1018. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
