For sure... But what I'm specifically raising is this bizarre science-denying ideological insistence that biological sex is irrelevant, that gender is solely in one's head, and that those who even remotely question any aspect of this is some sort of trans hating fascist...
If you show me that sex education now teaches kids that they can't get pregnant or make someone pregnant if they are trans, I will get on board with helping you oppose this very vigorously. I had no idea this was happening and remain skeptical that it is unless shown evidence.

It seems out of keeping with trans activism which is much very concerned with emphasising that some men (trans men) can get pregnant and require reproductive services. It would regard any claim that (trans) boys can't get pregnant as transphobic.

I don't think telling kids that they can actually change biological sex is going to make the risk of unwanted pregnancy any less. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1363/psrh.12032 …pic.twitter.com/g6NktG5uWK

And if I ever encounter anyone claiming that people can actually change biological sex and that telling kids this acts as a contraceptive, I will be sure to point this out.

I think the fundamental problem here is the core mantra ”transwomen are women. There is no debate”. That leads to all sorts of crazy. Imho interested in your views, trans activism must move beyond that.

No, thank you. I have said all I wanted to say in that article so I don't have to keep having the same arguments.

HIV rates among trans men are a major problem: http://www.hivequal.org/homepage/trans-men-the-invisible-battle-with-hiv … Puberty blockers followed by hormones can make trans kids sterile & even lose sexual function: http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2018/04/21220/ Do I need to explain how M&F teens showering together could lead to pregnancy?

Hi! I wrote a thing about this where I give my stance on the last two issues. I wrote it so I didn't have to keep having the same tedious conversation over and over again. Consequently I am now muting this conversation.https://areomagazine.com/2017/09/27/an-argument-for-a-liberal-and-rational-approach-to-transgender-rights-and-inclusion/ …
