      #ISupportTransEqualityBecause I imagine having the courage to be open about being born in the wrong body, the courage to transition to the right sex & then the hurt & pain when people then deny you’re the sex you’ve always truly been, despite all you’ve been through.

      Feelings don’t = fact. Just because someone has gender reassignment surgery doesn’t mean I or anyone else has to put aside facts and believe they are the opposite sex. That’s not transphobia, just an interpretation of the facts available

      Gender- the state of being male or female, particularly in reference to cultural and social differences. Prior to recent years, gender was the expression of a persons sex

      So it’s the expression of a person’s sex. Well guess what, trans people are expressing their true sex, culturally & socially, by their behaviour and the way they present to the world.

          Definitions are important. Your true sex is determined by your reproductive function/chromosomes. This is not a value statement on whether it’s right or wrong to be trans, just an objective fact. Google the definitions if needed.

          Brian how do you not see how Orwellian this is? What a luxury it is for men like us to be able to reduce womanhood to an internal feeling. It however is not. If words have no meaning- and reality is malleable, what stops you from drinking bleach every morning instead of tea?

          Believing in a 'true sex' as something different to biological sex and material reality is as much a question of faith as believing in god. Feelings do not equal fact.

          And for women, sex is why we oppressed, whereas gender is how we are oppressed.

          What is female behaviour? Can you answer that without sounding like a sexist dinosaur?

          Feminine behaviour is the pattern of behaviours most often seen in the female sex. Read Jordan Peterson and agreeableness. Lots of studies on these. But if you don’t believe in female behaviour, how can you believe in transgenderism?

          Read @AngelaDSaini Inferior and realise the difference between innate and culturally shaped sex differences.

          When did I say these differences were solely inate? They likely due to genetic, sex hormone and social differences between males and females

          Sorry, tone is wrong. I agree that differences between men and women are not just due to their sex but also the difference in their social experience

          “Prior to recent years, gender was the expression of a persons sex.” means that people now realise that gender isn’t based on genitals. if you’re a transgender man for example, you are no less of a man or any different

          Sex = chromosomes/reproductive category, gender =expression of sex. I have a very open mind, I also like words to have meaning. It sounds hyperbolic but words keep us safe. When words mean are altered unnaturally then it leads eventually to tyranny

          As for adults who want to live and look like the opposite sex.. if they have mental capacity then it’s up to them. There’s no evidence it makes them any happier. Not keen on kids doing so as most trans kids change their mind.

          All studies that show trans kids change their mind is reliant on the conflation of gnc kids and trans kids and are pre 2013 when the diagnosis criteria changed in the dsm 5
