Wasn't cynical enough for you?

Ostriches, the lot of them.

>but imagine all of the predators that would try to claim gender dysphoria in order to change their assignments

I just want to thank you for consistently and intelligently supporting trans* people in your comments. I don't know if you're trans* or cis, but either way you're awesome.

>This is compounded, in a sense, by her stated wish not to have reassignment surgery

Friendly correction: "trans woman" is two words, not one. You wouldn't say "queerwoman".

"his/her"

There's no such fucking thing as being "technically a he".

Yes, because we have too many queer characters who aren't assimilationist.

These questions should be being raised by Muslim women, former Muslim women, or women from predominantly Muslim countries. And what do you know, they are! People just don't listen to them. They should not be raised by appropriative white, Western women like Gaga.

That's a vast overgeneralization of Islam. The percentage of Muslims who kill others because of their religion is comparable to the percentage of Americans who are professional baseball players. It's like saying "Wow, those Americans sure have a steroid problem". There are over a billion people in the world who…

It's used in the media to dehumanize and marginalize trans people and by people who hate trans people to put us down. So, when you use it, you're indistinguishable from a hateful person and thereby encourage that hate. Using better words, like "trans" as an adjective, demonstrates that you care at least in theory…

You're cis and you have no say in whether trans people should let this kind of thing slide. Just like a white person has no say in whether the black community should let the use of "n*****" slide.

Friendly fyi: there's a space in "trans woman", like "bi woman" or "gay man".

But free speech! :'(
