My problem with that is that it plays right into their hands and becomes the insult they claim any label is. Not to mention, it sounds childish.

If they didn’t, I do. Straight people generally say clueless, awful things all the time. It’s unfortunate, and I think it’s more rooted in ignorance than any outright hate, but it’s still true.

Not to mention, a lot of harm has been experienced by LGBT people that was doled out specifically by religious institutions.

Kinda feels like TERFs have taught the rest of the social conservatives that they can say “for the health and safety of women” before spouting off whatever heinous bullshit they actually believe and reporters will generally just nod seriously and then air that to their viewers. We’re living in a super cool timeline.

Why remove it, then? Given that the place is owned by a tremendous dipshit, I can’t think of any reason to give them any benefits at all.

Just think, if literally every legal adult was in a relationship with every other legal adult, how many problems we’d solve! Admittedly, our scheduling software needs might exceed the current computing power of the world’s computers, but we can work on that.

I’m sure that you, a random internet dipshit, knows more about this person and their relationships than they do. Certainly.

I’ve seen individual pigeons who had more importance and impact on my life and the lives of those around me than you. Have fun with your anger.

You’re gonna throw out phenotypically female people, who have been raised as girls/women, who identify as such, and who might not even know they’re intersex until they try and fail to have kids and discover that they have tested where their ovaries should be, because the alternative is ceding even a little bit of…

So women with CAIS aren’t women? Your transphobia is so potent that you’d rather kick cis women out of womanhood than open the door even slightly to letting trans women in? 

Yes it’s terrible that we aren’t promoting the brand of Women the way we used to. And “pregnant people” is an awful phrase, obviously. I mean, affirming the personhood of those who are pregnant? Awful.

Let me know when y’all get a game I can’t play on my PC.

I hate to break it to y’all, but adult trans folks haven’t had full access to healthcare either. It’s getting worse, but it was never fully covered or easily available. Even in the early 2010s before the backlash had really built any steam, a lot of stuff wasn’t covered, and policies were vastly different between…

I mean that’s generally the case with death penalty cases. The state shouldn’t have the ability to kill its own citizens, regardless of how people feel about that person.

This troll also posts this on literally anything that has a whiff of trans to it, although usually people don’t pull them out of the grays.

There’s a non-zero chance that she’s also getting support/pro-bono work/etc from some conservative org that would love the opportunity to target a high-profile trans kid for the “look what the queers are doing to kids” treatment. Here’s hoping those kinds of folks all fall into open septic tanks.

Thank you for pointing that out again.

That 12% number in strength and endurance does not exist in that study. The trans women were 12% faster at running at the end of the 2 year period. You’re right that I was misinterpreting that chart, but the chart also ends before reaching anything like a steady state that could be used to draw firm conclusions about…

Unfortunately, that’s is the case. And realistically, pushing to allow trans femme folks who are not on hormones or puberty blockers to compete in women’s sports is neither fair,  or a winning strategy for trans acceptance. It’s a hard pill to swallow, for sure, but we’re in a literal fight for our lives, and…

Yup! Under the three dots at the top right of the comment (assuming you’re on mobile like me), there’s an option called “dismiss”. It’s useful for trolls, but unfortunately you do sometimes get cowards like “lastplacehero” who use it to silence anyone who disagrees with them. Conservatives are all about creating rules…
