Reality isn’t transphobic, but that guy definitely is.
Also I’m not discussing sex in humans with you again. I and many people, who’re are way more knowledgeable, have wasted hours of their life doing that. Much less under a post about a stupid bathroom law.
PS: I’m sooo sorry that I said that the piece of written work you linked to was a book.
I’m not sorry that I pointed out that that guy is a transphobe, but I am sorry that I engaged with you again.
I’m going to block you now. Originally I wanted to discuss Imane Khelif, when new concrete information was available, but now I am going to block you for my own sake. @davidagain@lemmy.world can discuss with you until both of your keyboards break.
Hehe. Powerstruggle is one of the most persistent transphobic conversation derailers on lemmy. They show up in any post related to trans people to discuss their pet transphobic theories, often one which Trump gave. Imagine being intellectuality dominated by Donald Trump!
I completely understand you blocking them. If I were the mod of a news sub where they repeatedly behaved the way they do, I would wield the ban hammer hard.
It doesn’t matter what you think of him personally. He’s still an expert in his field, correctly pointing out the scientific consensus. Again, if you don’t like him, take your pick of other experts that signed the Project Nettie statement that affirms the same truth with the credentials of your choice.
A) No it doesn’t. Where I live, it is entirely legal for a man to enter the women’s bathroom. Nothing to do with transgender folks; it simply is not a crime.
B) The UK has an official “gender recognition certificate” program. If you wanted to draw a line, I would think that individuals with such a certificate would fall on their recognized side of the line; however, under the new standard, a trans women with an official government issued gender recognition certificate is still considered by that same government to be a man for the purposes of using a toilet.
Clearest measure here wouldn’t be the “biological sex” anyway… Because going mens bathroom doesn’t require a penis, last time I checked. But it does require to be perceived as a man which relates more to other characteristics like beard and appearance. Same goes the other way around.
That’s the great thing… you don’t. They are trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. There are already laws in place which forbid harassment. There is absolutely no need to create a law which can’t be enforced anyway and is most likely causing more trouble (for cis people too!) than just keeping things like they were.
No it’s not. It’s a whole bunch of loosely correlated characteristics, many of which can be changed.

As you can see from this article, Colin Wright is an absolute transphobe and should not be used as any sort of supporting source:

Colin M. Wright, the author of the book you linked, is an “anti-transgender activist”. Here is a nice collection of his bigotry.

Also spamming the same comments word for word all over the thread.

The thread of this conversation is exactly why a line has to be drawn and written in law using the clearest measure there is.
Oooor just let trans folk use the damn bathroom? There doesn’t need to have a line drawn
There always needs to be a line drawn in law.
Agreed, the line is use the bathroom and don’t shit on the floor

And how do you define something as subjective as that in law? Absolutely absurd.
It was working just fine before this law no?
