Whatever you think the cause of being trans is -- be it genetic or environmental, nature or nurture -- since blood siblings raised in the same household share both, the chance of them both being trans is probably pretty high

It's actually really obnoxious when people play this kind of card as a gotcha -- trans people MUST be rare, it's a RULE that they be rare, and they must not only be rare but normally distributed throughout the population, by lottery Anything else is sinister

The actual point you're making here, that it MUST be the result of a mother MAKING her kids trans and that this constitutes some kind of abuse, is disgusting In and of itself, it is a transphobic sentiment

I dunno how to get this across if you don't get it Wanting trans people to be rare, thinking that it's a law of nature that there's a limit to how many trans people you can have and more than that is a "red flag", IS ANTI-TRANS

Being trans, going through transition, is hard. It can't be made easy, it's really difficult. Dilating a neovagina is painful. Vaginal atrophy is painful. I'd like transition to be safe, legal and rare. It's necessary for some, but there are better ways to manage dysphoria.

No, you just want to make life as hard as possible for trans people. And what you suggest is nothing but declaring that those who are trans must be stripped of their rights. There is zero reason transition should be hard. You just can't see trans people as people by default.

I don't want to make life hard for trans people. I recognize that trying to change your sex is impossible, and creating a simulacrum is painful. The surgeons have been working on this for decades. What they do is still brutal. What is cruel is telling kids it's safe and easy.

What nonsense. You are just trying to rationalise pushing conversion therapy..which doesn't work. That's your problem, all you are advocating is making life worse for trans people to make YOU feel better.

Which part is nonsense? You think phalloplasty works?

Aside from the fact that it's got a high satisfaction rate and the guys who get it are almost universally happy with the results, you do understand that not every trans guy even wants phalloplasty, right? Besides, every surgery sounds gross when described in graphic detail.

She hangs out with the TERF crowd who are outright filled with indignation and outrage about how many trans women are "intact" and still use women's facilities I mean pick one

Naturally. Internal consistency is clearly not her strong suit.

Adult transition is not my thing. Please don't confuse me with other people, that's a dehumanization tactic.
