And who gets to decide which situations are these? You, I presume.

The only non-arbitrary line anyone can draw in any of this is natal sex.

Very interesting.

I am relieved that "most" trans people would forgive me my transgression if my intention was pure and there was no malice in my heart.

Putting aside one's concern about the alleged minority who wouldn't...

No one should be forced to play a game where someone weighs your guilt or innocence based on your willingness to play along with a fiction, on the pain of social and professional sanction.

If you started referring to "an established cis man" as by female pronouns that would be what it is: a painfully transparent attempt at evening up the score, when it is patently not even. You can refer to a guy as a "she" all you want, it's just a sad attempt at making a point through comedy. Referring to you as "he" has a different meaning and import.

And you referring to being trans as a “fiction” is why we cannot have a debate.

Have a nice day. :)

Trans people are very real.

I only refer to the idea that MTFs are women as "fiction"

Moreover, participating in society involves upholding a great many fictions. We all do it. It's a matter of analyzing the risks, costs etc. If there's no element of coercion, and the other political issues are off the table, I'll gladly affirm, erm, what did I call it on SCD? The self-image of every Andre the Giant lookalike as a teenage thot? Sure.

But if my upholding a fiction furthers the entrenchment of a reality where gender nonconforming kids are getting their bits hacked off and rapists are incarcerated with women? Then I don't think I'll bother.

In my best "am I being detained?" voice: "am I being misgendered?"

No, I don't think that's an inevitable slippery slope and 'I support all the good things' is not a fair representation of my standpoint, but that's enough talking in circles for today I guess

Literally all of the hot air paragraphs of pseudo-intellectual bull**** this ****ing loser posts to argue terf nonsense is undone by these two sentences. If you have a dick he thinks you're a man and any of the bloated nonsense he posts to argue that his views are more complex than that is just your dip**** uncle dissembling at Thanksgiving cause he doesn't want people to think he's an *******.

**** you, jadis, I think you're a worthless piece of **** and I hope Quebec loses French as a language.

Yup. I think it's worse than that though, the dude also very clearly and openly said he would support an all-ages ban on hormone therapy to "protect the children".

Makes me feel dumber for having argued so much with someone whose view of trans people is functionally indistinguishable from the right wing conservative nutjobs who are actually pushing for that legislation.

OK coomer

Ok if this site is so dead that he can insinuate I'm a pedophile then I should be able to tell him to kill himself.
