I have some thoughts on this well written and well argued piece that I happen to disagree with. https://slate.com/technology/2021/03/transphobes-science-trap-basic-human-rights.html … via @slate

You can also move from a discussion of how sex chromosomes aren't binary to the idea that gender dysphoria or internal gender sense might not be binary either, all while staying in this logical, scientific framework, andapplying the same principles you've been using thus far.

Maybe it's just because I'm a fan of science and think it's neat (although the author clearly is too!), but I'm not a fan of trans people considering science to be inherently scary or disadvantageous to us.

We live in a physical world. Everything we see and experience is part of that world. Trans people are part of that world. We are every bit as comprehensible by science as any other natural phenomenon is.

I don't disagree with you, but also it is so shitty to accept the average person with gender incongruence to have to gain a master's in biology to back up their very existence. It's necessary work, but it's also fucking tiring so I feel this piece so hard.

Oh, strong agree. Even for those of us who enjoy the learning and somewhat enjoy the discussion there's a weight of being the tap-dancing, model trans, logical, smart, science-knower that can get very heavy.
