All trans women are simply men pretending to be women.” Do you agree with her ?

[Into the Night]

Ok. So, you could choose to be attracted to men, today, if you wanted to?

RQAA

If not today, you could eventually make yourself attracted to men, right?

RQAA

 

[Into the Night]

Agreed.



The difference is that one uses the word gender, the other doesn't. I'm fine with calling transgender women women, but I also think it's useful to note that they are not biological women in some circumstances. For instance, I think that biological women should have the right to only compete with other biological women if they so choose.

Word games won't work, Scotch. A man pretending to be a women is still a man.

Isn't "trans" just a shortened version of "TRANSgender"?

Buzzword fallacy. It is not possible to change your gender.

 

[Into the Night]

Trans can stand for transexual, transgender or both,

Buzzword fallacy.
It is not possible to change your gender.

but both make it clear that we're talking about gender here, not biology.

Word games won't help you.

They are being brainwashed and mind fucked by adults.

Including the right wing Christians?

 

[AProudLefty]

Not quite.

You cannot choose your gender.
You cannot choose your family.
You cannot choose a different planet. You were born on this one.
You cannot choose to be immortal. Some day you will die.

But you CAN make choices about your behavior while here. You are NOT free of the consequences of that choice.

You are locked in a paradox.

I've not seen him become psychotic. He just can't remember what happened 20 seconds ago. His posts are the result of rolling the dice. They are just random. His source list that he picks from are just phrases he heard someone use.

Point set. Roll the numbers.

The irony is strong in this one.

Worn out? There's nothing worn out about an awareness that we don't "choose" most of what we are.

The OP can be correct and it can be true that we don't pick attraction or what gender we feel like we relate to.

you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends's nose.

Aw. You didn't have a bet on that one! Roll the numbers.

Sure you can. He'll just probably resent it.

I think you are trying to remember a phrase from Jeff Foxworthy: "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family."

that's foxworthy doing a less funny take on the original, which is what I said.

But the 'original' as you call it, is false. I don't think you're quoting 'the original'. I think you just made it up.
