state your fucking position.

I already did, and I don’t feel you are arguing in good enough faith—having been willing to concede being trans “is sinful”—to address you in any deeper detail.

You jump on the name thing rather than seeing it as an outcrop of assigning sex and gender and then bitch about it in other threads using disingenuous descriptions that conflate the two but only address the later.

What do you do?

Concede being trans is sinful?

Oh wait no, that’s what you do.

“Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.

If I told you “kicking puppies is wrong” would you demand ‘an alternative’ to do instead?
Don’t kick puppies.

HAVE NOT STATED AN ALTERNATIVE!

not doing that, Jesus.

I notice first off you’re conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.

Makes me doubt your faith, that.

I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?

what. is. your. alternative.

Not shoving people into boxes we know aren’t accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

Why is that even a thing you want to do?

lessen the impact of its existence

You mean like not assigning people to classes we know can be incorrect they then would have to change?

Are you describing ableism as an argument against the existence of privileged classes??

Why do programs have default settings if they’re not the ideal settings for everyone?

I don’t think you can really compare screen resolution with the establishment of a disprivileged class that didn’t exist

As I said in my previous comment, why shouldn’t the objective be to reach a point where transitioning is completely painless?

Why should a person need to transition? Why do cis people need or deserve the privileged status there being a default they adhere to grants them?

It is not “pointless nitpicking”. It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.

I argue 3 things:

1. Irrespective the truth value of your claim you should not forward that position as there are forces of oppression who will latch onto any conceit of inherent differences between cis and trans people and claim that is the oh-so-important difference around which they claim the need to organize the oppression they are rabidly looking for excuses for
2. Your claim is not true under the commonly understood nor scientific consensus of what “sex” is
3. Even under your claim—which I consider simplistic and reductive—that sex is mere reproductive capability via sperm or eggs your assertion remains false

although it can be lost

No one “in casual conversation” considers someone “sexless” when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the “sex” of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can’t imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.

Finally I’m not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they’re never gonna let you into the car.

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet

This is wrong.

“Sex” is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

Do not do that.

A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn’t stop being referred to as “female, late 40s” when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how “sex” gets used socially and epidemiologically.

Explanation: Clarence Thomas is missing. Many people 🤞 hope he’s dead. This meme proffers he should be held to account for his many, many crimes whether-or-not he is a corpse, invoking through it’s use of Jean-Paul Laurens’ 1870 painting Le Pape Formose et Étienne VI the precedent of putting a dead body of a political figure on trial.

I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t made you upset

We are and have been good. I do want to stress however that not having transitioned by circumstance or choice does not mean you own anyone deference during intracommunal discussions.

Don’t conflate being a supportive and trusted adult as a child navigates their identity with sexual abuse you piece of shit.

Why are we forcing people into “sides” if we know for a fact they can be erroneous?

That creates a privileged class for who their assignment is congruent with their conception of self (cisgender people)
alongside a disprivileged out group forced to navigate transitioning out of an assignment they never should have gotten (transgender people)

you might as well call giving an infant a name a system of oppression

I do.

I hate “gender-critical” shmoes with all my heart, but even they should have rights.

Not to be “gender critical” they shouldn’t.

i do not know how to explain

Yeah, I have trouble explaining falsehoods, too.

Me? I tend to avoid the difficulty by not spreading lies, but you do whatever works for you, darlin’.

I mean, I can change it if it really bothers you that much.

“I hate cops” wasn’t a reply to you, friend. Nor about you. I was calling doctors cops and doing so in response to someone saying “respect doctors” as if that forgives their participation in systems of oppression. To be clear I respect doctors in so far as they treat gunshot wounds, hate them in so far as they snitch on the fact to the feds.

I thought about explaining the reasoning for the distinction I insisted on making (it was for others’ benefit) but I didn’t want to reply to you again 'cause I feared coming off as a dick.

In this house we treat medical professionals with respect

In this house we hate cops and a person who participates in condemning someone to a [assigned] “sex at birth” prison is a cop.
