But you do at LEAST realize you're fully aligned with the far right on this issue, yes? Most of you seem to have just accepted you're in bed with anti-abortion conservatives now like it's no big deal, but like, you do KNOW, right? This has not escaped your notice?

When your cohort decided to politicize a hitherto uncontested simple recognition of reality and leave that common ground, I'm not going to blush at who still stands there in a thinned crowd.

This is a pretty big part of why people link you to Nazis. It's on account of you standing there in the thinned crowd, shoulder to shoulder with....Nazis. You know, the ones who famously burned the archives of the Institut fur Sexualwissenschaft? Those Nazis?

I see my words are wasted on you. No, the reason you link us to Nazis is for easy rhetorical advantage. It makes no sense, but it helps shut down debate. Ironically of course the politics I encounter from your side si deeply authoritarian and controlling.

I'd hazard a guess that the modern concept of transgender wasn't around then. Surely the word wasn't? Interesting to know they did that, makes sense they'd go after non-conforming sexuality, the bastards. Just has nothing to do with me, my beliefs or this debate.

The modern concept of transgender has been around a lot longer than most people think, because the Nazis and those like them burner most of the research and literature done on them up to that time and set the public's knowledge of the issue back decades.

@9billiontigers has been posting about her personally wanting to go back to and reclaim the term "transsexual" Because the logic behind the coining of "transgender" as separate from "transsexual" - the idea that there's a difference between "sex" and "gender" - concedes too much2 replies 1 retweet 21 likes -
Replying to @arthur_affect @Soeroah and
So I suppose your side will be retiring the oft repeated claim about the critical difference between the two?

I've been saying "sex" and "gender" are fuzzy overlapping concepts and that whenever you're talking about human beings in a social context they're basically synonymous For years now

This is a transition most people have already made, hence people saying 1) It's better to just say "people with penises" than "male" if you really are saying something that only applies to people with penises 2) Situations where you need to do 1) are actually fairly uncommon
