and also, sorry for the double comment, someone who would like to fit in the bounds of what society characterizes a woman. that characterization has many different factors, and depends on the culture you’re in

It’s also a circular definition and immediately rejected by anyone with common sense or a basic knowledge of how language and communication works.

i think sociologists would disagree. i would like to believe i have both of those things, but i guess because a random conservative on reddit told me otherwise, i must not be!

Sociologists are the least respected individuals alive. Regardless, arguments from authority mean nothing to me, but thanks for the intellectual fallacy! The sound reasoning of one man outweighs the rambling nonsense of a thousand experts.

Circular definitions are dumb. Define dumb. Dumb is when people are dumb. Okay.. but what is dumb. Dump is when people are dumb.

What is a woman?

also, another question is why do you care? trans people make up such a small percentage. they just want to live.

Always “why do you care” and never “You make valid arguments. I’m much less intelligent than I believed myself to be. Maybe I’m delusional.”

I’ve answered why I care already. Scroll around and find it.

i don’t believe myself to be very intelligent, i just like standing up for people in my community! i wouldn’t say i’m delusional, but that’s just because i haven’t really had any proof that i am

Everything you have said so far is your proof. Delusional people need to be told they are delusional. We have circled back around to your previous question about medication and delusion enabling.

u/d0wncasts0ul May 03 '23

i can go tell someone they’re delusional even if they’re not. just because someone says something about someone else doesn’t mean it’s true. it’s not a delusion dear lord

So, in your mind… grown men can just decide one day that they are woman. They can go into female locker rooms. They can join the UFC and fracture three womens skulls. Perfectly acceptable? Not delusional?

no. i don’t think being transgender is a choice. so now man just goes “i am now transgender” and goes through the strenuous journey of socially and possibly medically transitioning. i’m sure there are examples of women who are obviously more powerful unfairly beating their components?

u/MarkyJ123456 May 03 '23

So, you don’t think someone has to make the choice to go through transition? Almost everything in life is a choice. Not everyone with gender dysphoria transitions. Not everyone that transitions has gender dysphoria.

u/d0wncasts0ul May 03 '23

that’s very true. i’m not a trans medicalist. it’s a choice to transition it’s not a choice to be trans. what i meant before was sometimes it’s a necessity for mental and physical health.

u/MarkyJ123456 May 03 '23

It’s extremely unhealthy physically. Your lifespan decreases. It doesn’t help mental health. I sent two verified studies showing there is no decrease in suicide ideation. Even with this… adults should be able to transition whenever they want. I don’t care. It’s your life. Your life should not be held on a pedestal above others. That’s an incredibly selfish mentality. Why should your feelings be more important than the actual rights or women?

1

u/d0wncasts0ul May 03 '23

it actually does, i don’t know where you got your studies. also, just in anecdotes, trans people have been shown to have better mental health after transitioning. it’s not just a feeling. if a woman is 6”1 does she just feel like she’s tall? no she is tall

u/MarkyJ123456 May 03 '23

You are incorrect. The feelings have shown to be short term. My sources are the United States government (nih.gov/National library of medicine) that uses the Swedish peer reviewed long term study and a well respected peer reviewed academic science journal that released a new study about a month ago. I sent both links. The Swedish study shows a higher suicide ideation ten years after transition.

Height is an immutable characteristic. Trans is not. Trans is the opposite of immutable by definition.
