@EntertainUrDad @bar_doors @wesyang I’m not saying they should, I’m saying no one will know that there’s a male in the restroom and therefore the correct social and legal response toward a male in the women’s room will not occur. This is different than declaring that trans women ARE women and therefore belong there

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@EntertainUrDad @bar_doors @wesyang Sure, in the sense that if they really do pass 100% and use a bathroom as intended, no one will be any the wiser. This does not require any change to laws, policies, or definitions of sex. No one is calling the police on Jazz Jennings, although Jazz remains male. Most don’t pass

@JewishGentle7 @DVaughn17159 @wesyang Most human babies are born to human parents. Not all, but most. After all, I’m sure some nutcase identifies as a horse or a dragon and has had a child, which means it would be wrong to say that humans are exclusively begotten by other humans.

@dumbbitchcap Yeah I loved being in the hospital for four days and getting three hours of broken sleep that entire time, coming home and not sleeping at all that night, and then the next day putting my brand new baby in the car and DRIVING to the doctor so they could weigh her and be like 👍🏻

@RedLionReps @the_fem_tm This is silly. You can sell sex by simply announcing sex is for sale, and people have been doing it for as long as the species have existed. Gestational surrogacy requires medical pros and technologies that were invented ten minutes ago. You can absolutely just ban it

@CartoonsHateHer I am a fifth generation vicious hater of the New York Yankees so the way Giancarlo Stanton makes me feel is so so upsetting

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@HunterEKozak @sleepy_devo The idea that the word “woman” only exists to facilitate sex-based laws is silly. It exists to describe a meaningful category of person regardless of any laws. The word “ewe” exists for the same reason despite ewes not having sex-based rights

@KelseyTuoc @timber172527 @Superninfreak @stitchnstab What do we think is more likely: trans man arrested in the men’s room for having oddly small hands, or local perv posts up in the women’s room with a boner and nobody has grounds to remove him because he said the magic words “I’m a woman”?

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@KelseyTuoc @timber172527 @Superninfreak @stitchnstab But then why should ACTUALLY MALE people who also look like this get to use the women’s room? Nobody cards you at the door. Passing trans females can go to the men’s room if they want. This issue is not about trans females. It’s about non-passing (the vast majority) trans males.

@benryanwriter Detransitioners are the only people in the world who bear any personal responsibility for their lives. Unemployed and $300000 in debt for an advanced degree in renaissance dildos? Systemic problem! Sterilized at 13? You should have known better

@jack_turban @McFluffyAine @PolitlcsUK If you helped anorexics become skinnier I’m certain they'd report that they felt better about themselves. That doesn’t make it ethical. How is that any different from how you and your fellow ghouls measure improvement in your patients?

@CityAttorneyJo @benryanwriter @jbarro Seems like learning to live in reality might be the way to go then!

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@mynaymeismud @CaptainDeseret @ArcanesValor @Noahpinion What is your theory of transition? If its only purpose is to make a person feel more masculine or feminine, how is it different than any other cosmetic procedure? Plenty of women say, e.g. that a boob job makes them feel more feminine

@mcmill2008 @SubduedRadical @Tachardiella @lxeagle17 No, Catholicism and trans identity are metaphysical belief systems and thus are not subject to empirical testing. You can, however, test whether a male has become a female or wine has turned into blood following an incantation, and the answer is always no in both cases.

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@mcmill2008 @SubduedRadical @Tachardiella @lxeagle17 I can touch Catholic people too. They are people that believe things that are at odds with empirical reality, as they have every right to do, just like transgender people. Trans people and Catholic people exist; I do not have to share their beliefs or behave as if I do

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@mcmill2008 @SubduedRadical @Tachardiella @lxeagle17 Much like Catholics exist but that doesn’t mean bread and wine turn into human flesh and blood following an incantation.

[Blumphis @blumphis]

@mcmill2008 @SubduedRadical @Tachardiella @lxeagle17 A better analogy would be if Rs insisted that people who were killed by guns are in fact alive. It’s not a dispute over what to DO about reality, as nearly every other political issue is. It’s a dispute over what IS reality. Ds think we all need to say that males can be female
