I stand corrected!
In 1950, evolutionary biologist Ernst Walter Mayr said that all bipedal apes should be classified into the genus Homo, and considered renaming Australopithecus to Homo transvaalensis.[18] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australopithecus
Mind = blown
Why stop there? I bet Australopethecus Anamensis wasn't supportive of trans rights as well as other modern things like having teeth beyond your 26th birthday.
TBF I have been following similar discussions a lot, and a lot of them say this exactly. That the two categories are open and female. So perhaps this isn't the gotcha you think it is.
A better example is chess: How can one demand segregation in chess without being sexist about intelligence? Press button hard choice meme for TERFs. The female league in chess exists due to social factors hindering women. So even in this case, trans / gender diverse people belong to the protected category, as they also belong in the protected bathrooms.
Apart from that, I don't see how going with the birth certificate targets TW disproportionately?
It’s also quite ironic, considering the very people who want to stop anyone assigned male at birth from playing on girls’ sports teams may wind up forcing a cisgender boy to do just that.
Oh the irony. It physically hurts!
The ordeal is a prime example of what activists have long warned: that anti-trans policies are bad for everyone.
Exactly, and this also proves that sex ASSIGNMENT at birth has lifelong consequences because of institutions that treat people according to their reproductive plumbing. Does this clear that up?
I doubt it. We will get used to it, AS WELL. I don't think your perception of the dynamics here is accurate, and I say this with all due respect.
I can not exhaustively prove it RN though. There are so many other issues that you could say they are value strongholds and all of them are now rolled back, and nothing happened. Abortion. Racist stormtroopers. Epstein coverup. Trans genocide.
Suggesting that marriage equality is more central than all these to a critical mass of people to start a civil war over it is absurd. For as long as I remember myself the narrative was that they would start it if "gay marriage" were to become a thing. We are now living it. Suggesting otherwise, reversing the roles, is something that even if not done deliberately, is quite a problem.
In an attempt to be constructive, I suggest a book: On Tyranny. It might provide some perspective.
Ooh, ouch!
We are basic removedches
Exactly. Outrageous.
Great article, thanks!
I won't respond to any of your shit. I don't block you just to keep tabs on you. kbye
No, they don't self-id as fascists. We have to indulge them in their delusion. /sarcasm
I see many of you claim this is just deflecting, but it is a christian nationalist dogwhistle.
Just to keep the record gay. The Right has set off to equate transgender people with pornographers, and at the same time wants to exclude pro-trans discourse from the First Amendment, together with all pornography. The WHiTe-supremacist house responds to the criticism that they do not respect the historical building. They respond by saying that liberal fave Joe Biden desecrated the building first, by bringing a "trans stripper" in it. T
his is a what-aboutist dogwhistle addressed to the christian nationalists in his base. The semantics proposed by the article, and many others, like the Scottish trans topless protesters recently is immaterial. If you don't get it you are simply out of the loop.
Defining gender based on genitals at birth was just a ruse to install fascism. As someone commented recently, it is like someone asking for the time, then proceeding to steal your watch. Then you go on Mastodon and be sarcastic about his fainted interest in the time of day. And feel intelligent. He still has your watch, and you are still falling for it.
