How about one of those magic spells that puts all his defenders — the whole town, if necessary — to sleep until there’s no more rape or child abuse in the world?

And God forbid gay or lesbian or trans people want to work with children. Because they’re all pedophiles, right?

QED.

Yeah, I don’t have the time either to deal with well-meaning cis people who don’t know their asses from their elbows and accuse trans women of being “confused” about trans issues. With friends like you . . . .

Obviously your last point is correct, but I strongly disagree with you that it “counts” when transphobic bigots try to create evidence to support their bogus claims.

I don’t think that counts! It was something apparently done for an anti-trans political purpose at the behest of an adult, not because a young boy faked being trans so he could see naked girls.

Sorry, that was an accident — I meant to reply to Assata Shakur’s statement that “it has happened” that boys have faked being trans to get access to girls’ restrooms.

She never went through male puberty. Have you ever seen what a little boy looks like? Do you really think that would traumatize anyone in the very unlikely event they caught a glimpse of her?

Obviously you and I have different definitions of what that means.

But this girl doesn’t physically present as male.

Another bigot obsessed with trans girls’ penises, who can’t stop thinking about them and what they might look like when they’re erect.

I don’t know a single trans woman who hasn’t at least seriously thought about at some point, when they can’t take all the societal hatred any more, never mind hatred from their friends, family, employers, etc.

Plus, even if someone does want and plan to have genital surgery at some point, the likelihood of her having done so before she finishes high school are essentially zero, at least in this country. So requiring it as a condition of being treated like any other girl would mean that essentially no trans girls would be…

When people like you keep talking about trans girls “appearing physically to be boys,” I have to wonder if you have any idea what someone who’s been on hormone blockers and then estrogen for years actually looks like, and if you really think their “naked penis” remotely resembles what you seem to have in mind.

But this girl isn’t a boy and I doubt she looks like a boy (whatever that even means). She’s been living as a girl, and has been on hormone blockers and then estrogen, for years.

What is this obsession you have with trans girls’ supposedly erect penises in girls’ locker rooms? Is this some fantasy of yours? Do you read a lot of “she-male” porn designed for curious straight guys? Have you ever even seen the penis of a trans woman on hormones and anti-androgens?

He would only be put there if that’s what he chooses.

“Has happened”? When and where? Citation, please.

Do you know what estrogen and anti-androgens do to someone’s penis and their ability to get and sustain erections? I guess not.

Yes, once one of these hypothetical horny boys finds out what estrogen and anti-androgens do to your ability to get an erection, he might have second thoughts.
