  1. Conservatives: "I'm a free thinker! No one can control me! Stop telling me what to do!" Also conservatives: "This app tells me which brands to buy."

  3. Megan Kelly just can't understand how everyone else doesn't openly hate trans people as much as she does, so she has to make claims like "everyone else is being forced to pretend along." Like no, Megan, we do all believe that Kris is every bit as much of a woman as you 🤷

  4. Imagine saying "The + stands for MAP" and "we used to just let them be, why look for unnecessary conflict?" in the same post, and thinking that makes you look like a good person If it was true that the + means MAP (and it doesn't) then no one should tolerate it. If she truly believes that that's what it means, she should never have tolerated it. She can't pretend that she thinks TQ+ means sexual predators and also that she used to tolerate that without looking like a garbage person.

  5. Yup. Trans kids didn't just pop up out of nowhere five years ago. We've always been here.

  6. She's right and she should say it. I hope she never backs down from these stubborn children.

  7. Look, I'm not saying I believe him, and I'm not saying I believe any of this. But what I am saying is "If it's true, then it's not classified," is faulty logic. There's another possibility. It's true, it's classified, but the government let him say it because they knew no one would believe him. Because like y'all said: this is a claim that requires extraordinary proof. And he doesn't have any proof. It's the classic "Go ahead! Tell everyone my plan! No one will believe you!" I'm not saying this is the correct answer. I'm not even saying it's the most likely. But it is a possibility, and I feel it's foolish to neglect to mention it. 😊

  8.  @Wakish0069  I was clearly talking about the people who Megan claimed are "being forced to play along," but thanks for chiming in with your unasked for opinion. I'll make sure to file it with as much care as it deserves.

  10. ​ @mecharidley  You think it's cool to threaten women and prevent them from accessing publically available spaces? In the name of patriarchal possessiveness over "your" women?

  11.  @Wakish0069  Tall men =/= real men Gay men =/= real men Fat men =/= real men Just because you don't understand how adjectives work doesn't mean the rest of us don't 🤦

  12.  @Wakish0069  Good job! Those examples are incorrect. Now, let's see if you can explain why "toy car" isn't a real car, but "tall man" is a real man.

  13. Actually, that's why puberty blockers aren't given until Tanner stage 2 of puberty. Sometimes, puberty does resolve gender dysphoria. Doctors take that into account when treating minors.
    14
  14.  @Wakish0069  Yes! Very good! You're on a roll here! Adjectives tell us what kind of noun we have. A toy car tells is that it is a toy, not a fully functioning automobile. Being tall does not preclude one from being a man, because men come in varying heights. Now, what is it about the adjective "transgender" that precludes someone with that attribute from being a woman? Be specific.

  15.  @HeavyInstinct  Yeah, y'all do bring up gender roles a lot, because you don't know the difference between gender and gender roles. 🤷 I was trying to be tactful. Transgender people (transsexualism hasn't been used in about two decades now) can be said to be every bit as much a part of the sex spectrum as intersex people. You're willing to understand that some women are born with XY chromosomes (but not if she's trans), testes (but not if she's trans), no uterus or external vagina (but not if she's trans). Why do you keep insisting on the strawman argument that "No one can change sex"? No one is claiming they can. But there are many characteristics that make up sex, that can be changed. The ones that can't, cannot be seen, and I'd argue aren't important because again: cis women exist with or without those traits. So again: why are you willing to make the exception for intersex women but not trans women?

  18.  @HeavyInstinct  Tell me, is XX chromosomes required to be a woman?
    7
  19.  @HeavyInstinct  No one was talking about "gender rolls," whatever those are. No one was talking about gender roles either. You just said, "Excluding these exceptions, yes it's required." So you can understand that not all women fit the requirement, thus the need for exceptions, but still consider it a requirement. Why are you willing to make exceptions for some women but not others?

  22. Thanks for the context. Like you, I figured it was something they were chanting sarcastically or in a sort of "protect trans kids from anti-trans parents" thing. Turns out no, it was even more tenuous than that lol

  25. The only surgeries minors have gotten are things like top surgery, which is also given to minors who have back pain from large breasts. We allow these surgeries for physical pain, but not mental distress? How many kids do you know whose gender has changed when they grew up? I can tell you what the statistics say. (Hint: it's not a lot). Trans people have existed forever, and trans teens have been socially and medically transitioning for decades. Y'all always say "Just wait, the regret will come, just wait." How long do we need to wait? How many trans kids need to suffer for years because you are worried they might change their mind?

  30. In what way is it not a genocide? Keep in mind, they're taking kids away from families (Florida) and preventing us from accessing medical care, which will harm us (many states). Genocide doesn't just mean camps. It means attempting to eradicate a group from existence. Which they are absolutely doing.

  31. Nah, most of the world agrees that healthcare is just a human right and shouldn't be precluded based on your income level. It's only in the US that that's at all a controversial, or leftist take.

  32. Nah, the "joke" about him threatening the school board is that we're supposed to think the wokie believes "words are violence." That's why they said what he did was "yelling" and "threatening" and he corrects it to "gently suggested."

  33. "How about referring to people using language they feel comfortable with?" That's what we're trying to do. It's not ok to refer to trans men as "women," but that's the alternative. Ana is a person, Ana presumably has a uterus, therefore Ana is a person with a uterus. It's like saying "People with a pancreas" and then getting furious about it because you are included in that group.

  34.  @Supherodude  Puberty blockers are given, at the absolute earliest, at tanner stage 2 of puberty, after the child shows clinically significant distress for at least six months about the changes it is causing to their body, and those changes are deemed to be as a result of gender dysphoria. Clinically significant distress is defined as distress that impacts one's ability to function in their daily life: so the child is having difficulty with schoolwork and homework, doing chores, maybe having difficulty keeping up with hygiene, playing with friends, interacting with family, etc. If the child has shown this level of distress, and it has been shown to be due to gender dysphoria (which has a set of criteria the child must meet, there are iirc eight criteria and the child must meet at least six of them, one of which is a strong and persistent insistence that they are the other gender) then they will be prescribed puberty blockers. Tanner stage 2 of puberty typically happens around age 12 to 13. Puberty blockers are entirely reversible. If they change their mind, or things change, or they simply decide they do not want to anymore.... they can go off the blockers and normal natal puberty will resume, with a statistically small effect on things like height or genital size (eg, they might have been 6'4" without blockers based on familial heights, but they'll be 6'2" now with the pause). The child will typically be on blockers for one or two years, before they will be asked to make a decision about which puberty is best for them. This decision is made with input from the child, a team of medical experts who all are constantly monitoring this child, and the child's parents. The vast majority of children who went on blockers go on to HRT, and do not regret their decision (something like 98 percent don't regret) and that tells me we are filtering out the right people. Again, if they change their mind, they can stop HRT at any time. If they stop early enough, they will have minimal or perhaps even no permanent changes. Most of the strongest HRT changes don't occur for several months, things like facial hair on T, or breast development on E. A few 17 year olds have gotten bottom surgery. There are zero recorded cases of anyone younger than that, that I know of. And even these are so rare they make headlines. A handful of 14 year old trans boys have gotten top surgery. This is a decision between themselves and their doctors, that the breast development is causing them clinically significant distress and is in their best interest to have it removed. Again, this is rare, and is something that we need to let doctors decide. If we simply ban it for folks under a certain age, we are asking vulnerable youths to suffer for years, just marking the calendar day by day and for what? So we can make sure they're sure? Because what if they change their mind? The regret rates are clear: this would cause the majority to suffer because a tiny fractional minority may make a mistake. That's not okay with me.

  35. Really? Most of your eight year olds don't know if they're girls or boys?

  36. Boys can just wear dresses. But sometimes a "boy who likes dresses" realizes she's a girl. Both are valid. Anyone can wear any clothing, clothing has no gender. And bodies have no gender, either. Someone can be assigned male at birth, and a girl. Seems to me it's a little sexist to assume that a trans woman is just "a boy who likes dresses."

  37. Do you understand the difference between gender and species?

  38. It's true. It's basically saying "It's lgbt people hurting their own community, not heteronormativity/cisnormativity and cishet people." I get the desire, but it doesn't help anyone.

  42. Yeah, they didn't get themselves into this position based on data, so data won't convince them they're wrong.

  43. Let's say you're right. Bathrooms are now segregated by birth gender rather than lived gender. That means trans men, who look like cis men, are using the same bathroom as cis women. Now cis men can go into the women's bathroom and claim they were assigned female at birth. How did we solve anything? We just made it worse. In addition to forcing ACTUAL men into the women's bathroom, we've also provided the same loophole for predatory men.

  50.  @benjaminfranklin8412  No, actually, it's you who doesn't understand. I'm trans and let me assure you, that's not how it works. Trans kids, and trans adults, don't "have body self hatred." I love my body, there are just certain parts of it that don't belong or aren't quite right. If a person missing a limb gets a prosthetic limb, does that mean they hated their body beforehand? Of course not. If someone with a deviated septum gets rhinoplasty to fix it, does that mean they hated their body? Also no. Trans kids are being put on puberty blockers and given gender affirming therapy because that's what works. I do not know what you mean by "sęx affirming therapy." Do you mean giving them hormones concordant with their birth sęx, eg, giving a trans girl testosterone? Not only would that not help her gender dysphoria, but it would actually do her harm, because then her body would have too much testosterone. Gender dysphoria, and trans identity, doesn't stem from hormone imbalances. They actually do test for that prior to any kind of medical treatment, believe it or not. But obviously, you would know all this, since you want to lecture me on how trans affirming health care works. Right?
