    “Men have penises, women have vaginas; here ends my biology lesson.”

      Could you explain to me how biologically this isn’t factual? The baby doesn’t pop out with a penis and the doctor go “congratulations! It’s a girl with a penis!”

      Fucking delusional, you want to shift your hormones and swap sexy bits as an adult? More power to you. Wanna let undeveloped children cause irreversible damage to their body because they had a phase where they liked to cross dress? Get fucked, it’s absurd we let 18 year olds even apply to college or vote.

        1 in 1,700 people are born with both sexual organs.

        If extrapolated to the population of the United States that is 10% of the population of Nebraska that cannot be defined in this manner.

        Therefore, that statement is not biologically factual as thousands of people have both.

        Since this is a UK forum, the UK has 40,000 citizens who cannot be defined male or female in this manner.


        Onto your point about manipulating gender at a young age.

        The largest number of gender reassignment surgeries are performed on the population I just described, without their consent, at birth. And believe it or not often doctors get it wrong.

        Someone assigned female by a doctor as a baby, well turns out mentally they are a boy, a boy who had their penis removed at birth. That might have some affect on a person, I think you’d agree.

        So with that in mind, I agree with you about one thing, that non-reversible gender decisions should not be made without the consent of the individual being assigned a gender, as doctors are currently doing to intersex babies on a regular basis.

        So can we stop pretending that gender reassignement is the problem? It’s just a wedge issue designed and promoted to keep the lower classes divided so that we don’t realize what the rich are doing to us and this planet. I am not your enemy. We are allies. The enemy is up/down, not left/right.

        Transgender people just want to exist. Is it an unreasonable demand to exist and be acknowledged? I think not.

        This hilarious argument if wasn’t just a bad faith argument should be enough for everyone be in favor of puberty blockers, to avoid avoid irreversible change while the person matures and can decide what one wants to do.
