cis people attempting to use the measuring stick Wokely being surprised as its ripped from their hands and they're beaten with it savagely (surely if they try one more time they won't also get hurt by it this time)

It is infuriating how many times I ask liberals simple shit like "what is a woman/female", "why is it a distraction", "can you respond to Thomas' dissent in WV v BPJ; and they just... Don't... They just ignore it, or end the conversation. They deny they could possibly be challenged on comms.

or "male socialization"

yeah this has been going on since time immemorial

Yeah, and it landed with a thud. No one who wasn't trans cared about this pretty flagrant breach of basic ethics. The reporters known to be in transphobic chats making transphobic jokes still got to write trans stories, while trans people were, of course, "too biased" to be trusted.

Do not trust cis “allies” who claim to support trans people but then say shit like that tbh(like “biological” sex doesn’t make sense as a concept because sex is inherently fluid and can be changed)

Reject Modernity: Gender Transition Embrace Tradition: Sex Change

Now then, think of a trans woman. Be less transmisogynistic than I cynically expect you to be while doing that, and then do it again. That trans women is more feminine than both the most masculine woman you can think of and the most feminine man you can think of.

“You are probably incorrect” - I promise you I’m wrong far more often than not, but I’m self aware enough to KNOW I’m wrong but I’m still trying, like a sad little Thomas the Tank Engine. My understanding was more that a lot of the internals don’t change, and that’s OK! But I’ve learned otherwise

that's not even getting into the variations in human bodies, intersex, etc.. 'biological x/y/z' is a nonsense term.

however, since i already grew breasts, I'm still at higher risk of breast cancer because that risk is correlated to the amount of tissue you have and not hormones. and hey, I learned all this stuff after transitioning. even a lot of trans ppl don't know the extent of HRT's effects.

trans women that have cis fem testosterone levels don't generally need prostate cancer screenings (it gets a lot smaller and the risk factor goes way down) but do have normal cis fem breast cancer risk. so the answer is "kind of but not really"

Bring BACK?

Come now, you can't expect coms experts to expertly communicate something. Don't be silly.

Frrr

Who is "we"? I don't know any libs in positions of power doing even that, it's just online personalities. That said I agree that's a bad approach. Never argue on their terms, instead state your support and move on to real shit. They cannot afford to talk policy, that's why they target trans people.

yeah but have you considered that rich transphobes just have a LOT of money 🥺🥺🥺 You can't expect Liberals to reject ALL of that money...

There's your problem: you think the NYT is liberal or allied with liberals. They are not.

What do you mean secretly? They pretty openly desire it at this point. That's why they keep talking about capitulating on trans issues to win over swing voters, despite the mountain of evidence that doesn't work. They'll never forgive us for getting people to expect them to have principles.

At the risk of a shit “not all X” argument, there does exist a subset of cis people possessed of the spirit of Divine in Pink Flamingos.
