Are you seriously equating gender with sports team affinity? That says more about you than about me or John Money.

Feminists (both radfems/terfs, and queer/woke/mainstream) have long pushed (and continue pushing) the blank-slate hypothesis. Not because of "evidence" of course, but because claiming otherwise would contradict some of the most fundamental and unquestionable dogmas of feminism.

This is a microcosm of why trans rights activism is failing, and has been for years now. #transRights

Now we’re required to other ourselves from our society by being “queer”, rejecting all arguments where transition is a life-saving (or dramatically life-improving) medical intervention, forcing others to use their own language in a way that doesn’t make sense. “Optics don’t matter” is a lie.

does it count as contributing to "trans infighting" if you think the vast majority of the trans community is dead wrong about trans issues and as a result don't participate in that community but also like. don't pretend to have the "right" ideas about trans issues when asked

Keep in mind that OP is the one who claimed that gender is formed by outside influences, which is exactly what John Money tried and failed to prove by raping and torturing David Reimer. 🙄🤦

Born this way, forced to be q***r

hmmm despite having such fun with the transsexual.navy handle i don't actually think being trans is a core part of my identity, it's just a medical condition that i have that i am slowly but miraculously recovering from/learning to live with

Cool so how do you sort people who don’t or cannot reproduce (congenitally, hormonally, surgically, due to young or old age, removal of gonads) into a sex category without resorting to teleology? If it’s anything current gametes then congrats it’s analysis based on a polythetic spectrum

If they want to commit to the Griffiths argument about sex, then they end up completely back at square one regarding how and why we categorize actual human beings into sex categories during the periods they are sterile or infertile or post-fertile, as well as congenital intersex ppl and transexuals.

Nope. In the same way that someome who makes no gametes can still be classified by sex, someone with no gonads will then be classified by the other remaining relevant characteristics of sex. There is no incompatibility. A neutral factor cuts neither for nor against. Get it?

I hate how you trolls just go away when you can’t just keep repeating the same dishonest fakery

So you can make another semantic argument rather than biology?

I’m personally hoping that Sonic Racing CrossWorlds will add Arle Nadja from Puyo Puyo. #SonicRacingCrossWorlds

If you're arguing against " born this way" Then you're only helping the argument of the groomer conspiracy people

Denying what pronouns are and do makes it untenable that using the wrong pronouns is misgendering. #transgender #transsexual #gender #InclusiveLanguage #English #education #EnglishEducation #ESL #TransRights #pronouns www.quora.com/How-can-educ...

Average person who calls others the Q-slur without their consent:

No they don’t. And a lot of trans people are telling you to stop with the “what are your pronouns” bullshit. You are what’s wrong with the world: trying to remove pronouns from misgendering.

Pretend to be a transphobic parody of trans people, be accused of transphobia. I don’t see how hard it is for you to understand, but that’s what makes you a troll.

So THIS was a lie. A single person cannot be a “he” and a “they” at the same time. There is no such thing as a “he/they”, not even a nonbinary person (who are “they”). This is basic English. pronoun.gitlab.io/en Though, it’s not the first time you claimed to know something and didn’t.

Either the Q-slur means “LGBT”, or it means something else. You can’t have it both ways. #Doublethink #QueerCommunity #QueerTransphobia #QueerHomophobia #TransNotQueer #LGBT #DropTheQ

Does that really help though? Most of the people using it as an insult in my experience don't seem to be aware of that history. The only difference between that and the word gay being used As a negative adjective, is that the Q word seems to be applied to people, not just things

I think the real problem with the modern “trans community” that they can’t tell gender non-conformity apart from transness.

I'm trying to protect trans people. I am trans. I'm very lucky to live in Canada. I see sexual minorities with physical needs being lumped into a political agenda (aka "q***rness") to equate LGBTI rights with some kind of war on normal CIS straight people, That doesn't bode well.

I never said being apolitical is a good idea. I'm just pointing out how the community will alienate and other people, block, badmouth etc for not having the correct politics of q***rness according to the leftist hive mind which has failed horribly in the US

I'm just pointing out that for many people, q***r is only used as an insult, like IRL, I've only ever been called that by people screaming curses at me, the same people who tell me to kill myself for being trans or tell me that I'm an abomination

What really doesn’t solve transphobia is yapping about “autonomy” and painting trans people as people who need to be “liberated” from society. That only reinforces their belief that trans people are selfish, vain people chasing a social trend, causing legal and insurance restrictions on HRT.

Why do fringe minorities with fewer/different material need wield one-sided “solidarity” as a gag to silence the majority?

Asexual people are valid. The spectrum is valid. It's quite reasonable to assume so. But in terms of focusing on rights, there's very few laws preventing people from not having sex. The more important battle imo, decriminalizing homosexuality, marriage equality, giving transsexuals medicine etc.

The reasonable response to “Letting the gays marry will destroy the fabric of polite society!” is “No, we just want marriage equality”, not “Hell yeah, we’re here, we’re q***r, and we’re coming for your societal norms!!!”.

I see the point you're trying to make, But equating all of the `drop the ${letter}` movements reads basically as shunning critical thought. I'm concerned about q***rness, as a movement, because I want to protect trans people and Same-Sex attracted people.

The “troll” is the one accusing trans people of not being trans just because they disagree with you but ok

I already have lots of stuff you should read on my blog (haleyhalcyon.substack.com), which you adamantly refuse to read because you’re a q***r dogmatist. @anekonamednancy.bsky.social

If I'm right wing to you, if you're that left, that's sad, but I understand it's relative. Think about it though. The Q word literally means strange and alien and weird. Lgbti people can be completely normal. It's a bit limiting to put us under that umbrella

There’s a lot wrong with this, but let’s focus on “valid”. “Valid” has no meaning but a faux-religious value judgment like “halal”. And I’m irreligious. I don’t subscribe to the dogma that denies the biological foundation of social gender and how English speakers actually understand pronouns.

And you don't believe that I'm trans ;w; That's the problem. Q***rness Is a political ideology. Being trans is a medical condition, or a psychological condition. You can be trans and not have someone tell you what your politics should be

Lgbti (drop the q) Is an attempt to separate people's physical material needs, from political ideologies that hurt sexual minorities. Gender anarchists / "q***rs" want to make sexual minorities the casualty in a war against CIS straight people

Sure. But why are we lumping drag performers in with trans people who are not inherently a performance?

Are you seriously equating drag with being transgender?

You're so mad. You need to call me a troll. And you need to elevate what you do on this site to something beyond intellectual masturbation.. when I'm pointing out that most of what happens on here is entirely asinine and pointless.

Yet apparently you cannot say what an organism’s sex is, materially and physically, that isn’t sex characteristics. Nor can you even whether it is possible for someone to be both male and female, or to be neither!

I know it's not harmful to children. But the way we're lobbying for it seems extremely suspicious to anyone right of center Even to some centerists. Especially installing this kind of thing physically into schools, and preventing children from leaving when they're uncomfortable

Then why are your arguments centred on semantics, not biology?

All I want for Chrismas is Vegemite (I like it and I can’t find it sold in Japan)

What’s up I just unintentionally ghosted a job interview because I didn’t check my email in a few days so I missed the one the company sent yesterday that the interview is today

I wrote a blog post comparing the Mechanical Turk to modern-day AI frauds and false advertising. #Substack #Amazon #TeslaOptimus haleyhalcyon.substack.com/p/mechanical...

So this has nothing to do with kids. Why did you and others object to my question then, asking if people thought it was normal to try to put drag queen performances near children. If that's something that isn't happening

Anti-Karen strategy I learned today: Instead of saying “Do X thing and you’ll know you’re wrong”, try saying “(Do you want to / Could you / May I suggest that you) do X thing? Thanks”.

It’s always the trolls that are the first to accuse people of trolling if they disagree
