  • “Female” is a descriptor of sex (element of anatomy), not gender identity (element of consciousness). Considering that:

    1. the whole foundation of the notion of being trans relies on sex and gender being two distinct things
    2. generally speaking, the fundamental definition of being “trans” is for there to be a disparity between one’s sex and one’s gender identity

    It’s not transphobic to use a sex adjective to refer to homologous body parts that are naturally inherent to that sex, it’s just matter-of-fact. For example, only males/females are capable of suffering from prostate/ovarian cancer–and this population includes trans women/men.






  • No one shoplifts formula to feed their own baby, they steal it to literally scalp it to those who actually do need it, at a fat markup, after conveniently draining the store’s supply so they’re the only source.

    They’re not Robin Hoods sticking it to the Big Bad Corporation. They’re profiteering scumbags.


  • Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only reason I know of for cis kids to use puberty blockers is as a measure against the condition precocious puberty, which basically means the body is going into puberty too soon.

    If that’s correct, then this isn’t really a good argument, because using drugs to delay premature puberty until its ‘normal time’ is very different from delaying ‘normal time’ puberty to a future ‘late time’–the latter moves the body into an abnormal state, while the former movies out out of one.

    Isn’t that kind of like arguing that because we’ve been using blood thinners successfully for a long time (leaving out that it’s used primarily on people who are prone to blood clots to treat that condition), that there’s definitely no harm in prescribing blood thinners to people with regular blood?
