So you admit to not understanding it and hence not being able to argue further. That's fine

By what metric does anything determine gender? You're being brazenly dishonest at this point. It is enough that the fact exists, any honest person can draw the necessary conclusions from there.

Boys have penis, girls have vagina? That's a pretty good starting place, don't you think? What am I being dishonest about, even? If you went back and read my initial post I even describe in some detail things that make women into women--life experiences, the development of the body into a form that can bear, sustain and birth life. Things that you said you don't care about. So you don't care about other people's experiences, particularly women, and you just want to be called a girl while having a dick, balls, dressing and acting completely unlike a woman? In what universe do you think that makes a lick of sense?

I have a trans friend that was kicked out of the air force about 6 months ago. I feel bad for her because she was so close. :(

Do you have any info on how trans people are treated in the military or will be in the future?

They made it not illegal to be both trans and in the military at the end of june, so while I feel bad for your friend, I do find it funny poorly trans were treated all the way up until the moment.

I'm sure they were treated worse than regular women. As in: instead of probably getting raped and likely not taken seriously, they were almost certainly raped and definitely weren't taken remotely seriously.


8-Bit Scholar posted:

Well if men can become women any time they please, it does sort of create a problem for those advocating for the rights, particularly the equal rights, of women. Gender being equal is easy enough from a legal perspective, but from a sexual and cultural perspective it's incredibly troublesome for a man to literally be able to take the one thing a woman can feel entitled to--her sex--and appropriate it.

Like, if I was a woman who had to deal with growing up as a little girl, then dealing with the trials of entering puberty, the constant pressure from both men and women to maintain certain standards of behavior and etiquette, the physical elements of entering sexual congress and ultimately conception, birth and childbirth--to have a man basically have a surgical operation, and then say he was just as much a woman I was, I'd probably be kind of irritated by it.

I'm afraid that there is not much that can be done to educate you. Have a good night.


Zorodius posted:

Do trans people tend to take up gender-typical hobbies from their transition gender?

Specifically, I'm wondering about those hobbies which aren't particularly "fun" because of their association with the gender itself. Like, fishing: it's not a sexy symbol of masculinity, and it's boring as hell to most women, but would FTM men take an interest in it? Do MTF women quilt and watch The View at a rate similar to from-birth females?

Some do. I have very feminine hobbies, but I always did. The only masculine hobby I ever had was working on cars, but that is encapsulated in the fact I just like crafting poo poo. I don't know if hormonal balance has to do with picking up gender-aligned hobbies, or if it has more to do with repressed feelings/interests or simply just wanting to fit in. It's probably a varied mixture of each unique to the individial, but I don't care to speculate further.

transgenderism is logically dependent upon the very gender stereotypes that feminists spent generations challenging.

I don't think this is the thread for you. You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't think your opinion is well-educated, and therefore more assumptuous more than anything.

Yes, actually, the more genitals you have the more gender points you have.

With my ten dicks, I am actually a literal god of men.

Look how wonderfully consistent and honest you are! Your entire argument is bad faith equivocation, in bad faith. I carry a gun because men like you can't be handled by reason and are bound to assert yourselves otherwise eventually.

First I'm dishonest and now I'm inconsistent, but you somehow neglect to specify how? Oh wait what, now I'm a rapist? Lmao, so first you don't give a poo poo about women, then you profess to looking not even remotely feminine, then you say that I'm incorrect by saying that your definition of woman makes no sense, but you don't actually have a rebuttal. Are you just claiming an inaccurate gender identity to somehow stand out? Was being a philosophy-reading, motorcycle-riding, gun-toting dude not unique enough for you?

I made a statement that women could clearly have cause for umbrage about men appropriating their sex. In response to that, you have claimed first to not care, and then gone on to insult anyone who questioned your identity, accuse me of being a rapist, and insisted that you need to remain armed so as to defend against persons like myself, who apparently are a risk to your life for daring to suggest that maybe your gender identity ought to be more than just a collection of stereotypes and a need for feeling special?

And now trans women are even more victims then women are? It really is a co-opting. I'll actually say that I've worked with a former airmen who is now a woman and they managed to go through a full military career rape free and then used their money to pay for their surgery afterwards, so when you say there isn't much you can do to educate me, I'm not sure what you could pull out of your rear end that I haven't seen before.

It's actually not anywhere near that simple, and gender is not a simple binary equation. The number of intersex conditions that can arise is much higher than you are aware of, to begin with, and within the general population there is a spectrum of gender. Yes, it is concentrated on two main points, but there is a lot of variation between and around those.
