(1) is that the only word you know? you're a one-trick pony
(2) and?
(3) what does any of that have to do with the fact that the surgery destroys their ability to naturally have children
(4) what gives you the right to tell me who i must be attracted to and then pick buzzwords out of the dictionary and throw them at me when i tell you to get lost you fascist
(5) i forgot that trans women are entirely capable of reproducing and produce their own eggs. woops! my bad. so sorry.
(6) which of course is a valid reason to tell me i must be attracted to them or im a bigot or whatever dumb insult of the day youre using
(1) 404 counterargument not found
(2) You come home with a girl from the bar and are getting ready to have love with her. How do you know if she's not bioogically female? You can't, unless you ask her (and she knows - she could be biologically male without knowing it if she has complete androgen insensitivity syndrome) or perform a genetic brown townysis or something like that. So if there's something to her not to do with her appearance that's affecting whether you're a-OK with having love with this person or completely revolted, you might be a transphobe.
(3) Lots of people are sterile for lots of reasons, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome, physical trauma, menopause, amputation (e.g. to remove a tumor), or natural causes. My mother, for instance, is naturally sterile.
(4) I'm not telling you who to be attracted to. I'm telling you that you probably wouldn't be able to tell if a certain person was trans even after having love with the person. Around 0.5%-1.2% (1 in 200 to 1 in 83) of people are trans, but how many trans people do you think you've encountered in your life? Odds are, you've encountered plenty of trans people without even knowing it. A person's being trans doesn't affect your attraction to them, even though you think it does, because you don't have some sort of magic trans radar.
(5) Would you be unwilling to marry a naturally sterile woman, then? I think that's pretty silly.
I blame Bruce Jenner media thing.
Her name is Caitlyn, and common sense didn't start with Caitlyn Jenner.
and attention-seeking kids and tumblr (or was it facebook?)'s "50 genders" special snowflake-ism
common sense also didn't start with tumblr or facebook.
But I still don't think it's scummy of me to not support them either. I don't and shouldn't feel an obligation to help a group that doesn't apply to me and/or I have disagreements with. I don't feed African children or save stray dogs (or help those who really do those things), and it's the same feeling here.
A tragic lack of empathy :/
