Also see this article by Sean that talks about more trans related stuff https://ideasanddata.wordpress.com/2021/02/07/on-transgenderism/

Thanks for this link, I didn't know he had posted new content since November. Sean is absolutely brilliant - the smartest content creator on the Internet as far as I am concerned

Truly treating trans people as a member of their preferred sex would therefore clearly involve more than a mere shift in language. It would require us to do things which naturally cause reactions of disgust and discomfort for many cis gendered people. In some cases, such as the domain of sexual attraction, treating trans people as their preferred sex would even violate many cis people’s sense of their own identity.

It's insane that leftists don't get this or don't care. I will never understand how people can convince themselves that a biological man becomes a woman just by claiming to be one.

Any so called 'scientific' studys that validate the concept of trans-sexualism is suspect on its face. This is for a very basic fact: Gender is determined by chromosomes. XY designates a male, XX designates a female.

Scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as a 'transgender' or any kind of '3rd gender.' The very concept is ridiculous.

Scientifically there's no such thing as gender if we're being technical. There's biological sex and nothing else. I think it's important not to use their made up fantasy language because it's misleading.

Gender is just another word for sex.

No actually in transgender theory 'gender' is something which exists completely independently from biological sex hence its supposed mutability. I'm not trying to get bogged down in minutiae I just think it's important not to use their language.

    Transgenderism is a psychological phenomenon in their own opinion though. If anyone trots out the old 'Well what about this one in a billion hermaphrodite or chromosomal abnormality' to buttress the legitimacy of transgenderism you know they're being dishonest. Doctors don't test chromosomes when they assess people with gender dysphoria it's all about their psychological state.
