@eilidhfife @WrathQueenof What about the Hijra?

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

Being trans has everything to do with my initial claim. Sex is mutable. The existence of chronically-appearing anomalies, the surgical alteration of bodies to appear more exclusively male or female to sustain the binary, cross culturally, historically, is the evidence for this. How is this changing the goal post?

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong All of my trans friends, of which there are many, are grateful they had the choice as adults to effect a transformation of their bodies as they saw fit. Tell me what standards of care you are referring to?

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong That’s interesting that you would say that. “Babies with malformations” being “treated” differently now than in the past still acknowledges the stable incidence and prevalence of this so called nonoccurrence. Project all you must onto me.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Exceptionally rare still means there is a nonzero incidence and prevalence. I would call this routine.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @wrensayschill @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong I can use whatever tense I want. And I love you think I’m a creepy male skinwalker. Proves my point perfectly.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Again, nonexclusively male or female-aligned morphology appears routinely, and yet it is somehow wrong to talk about it. Why is that?

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@wrensayschill @thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong It’s on the downturn because it was deemed inhumane.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Interesting word, malformation.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@eilidhfife @WrathQueenof Which is?

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@Heather_pw @ripped_open @Mithra_Is_Fine @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong And I have countered, many times, that you should talk to people who have changed their sex. No amount of projecting nonsense onto me on social media will actually cut through the fog.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@Heather_pw @ripped_open @Mithra_Is_Fine @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Wrong again. There are plenty of living adults all throughout the world who have changed their sex and care nothing about sports or entering spaces that are conventionally assigned to one sex or the other. They literally don’t give a shit. They’re living their lives.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong The bible is decades out of date. People use that language daily. What’s your point?

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@thatbloodybird @StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong The genitourinary tract function was not the purpose of the “corrective surgeries.” They were solely performed to create an acceptable appearance as male or female genitalia.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@WrathQueenof What you choose to project onto others is your prerogative. You’re choosing to insert hierarchy and pedagogy of the oppressed bullshit where was none was implied.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@Heather_pw @ripped_open @Mithra_Is_Fine @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong You know nothing, zero, about me but make unsubstantiated claims about me in a public forum. I call that an attack. My expert knowledge is beyond your comprehension.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong @thatbloodybird I said “ambiguous” genital tissue. Ambiguous implies what? Neither male nor female. So someone, some doctor, decides to either excise the tissue altogether and create a vagina that must be stretched by parents manually to maintain it as such, or phallic tissue is created.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@ripped_open @Heather_pw @Mithra_Is_Fine @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Yes it does. Just because you can’t handle that fact doesn’t make it not true.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@Heather_pw @ripped_open @Mithra_Is_Fine @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Saying I am “new” implies I am a novice in a field I have expert knowledge in. It is an attack based on your ignorance. The truth is that they have changed sex. You just can’t handle that fact.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@StellaB_Stating @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong No, babies born with genital tissue that does not fit the schema of male or female are not allowed to exist as such. They are altered to appear as male or female to fit cultural norms.

[Maureen Sullivan PhD @mes863]

@Heather_pw @ripped_open @Mithra_Is_Fine @jk_rowling @ed_Didiong Why not interview those people before making ad hominem attacks?
