Guess who Looked for verification on the article. Found it was original ‘reporting’ be Erin in the Morning.
Oh look, they have a GoFundMe. Who woulda thunk it?
I wouldn’t put it past a random mob in LA doing something like this, but I ain’t rolling on just Erin Reeds word of it.
That's where I'm at with trans activists like RE and Erin. Fucked up if that really happened but I'm going to need someone independent verify that.
I think the entire site is that way. Normally that would get people already saying it was done on orders, "from the top," and some stupid, stupid conspiracy was behind it but nobody sticks their neck out like that.
It's been a month since the Nolan Wells, the black teen who drowned after July 4th trip with friends, story broke and I can't find a single post about it. Even with the family and Al Sharpton calling it strange Era isn't taking that bait. Even they can see that a black teen dying after an overnight rager in the swamps doesn't equal a conspiracy.
For some reason they were willing to pursue these fantasies when Biden was president but have curtailed it. Maybe looking the fool later has a higher cost these days than looking virtuous early on?

I’m not sure this is the stupidest post on ERA for all time. There’s quite some competition there, but there’s no denying… it’s giving all of them a run for their money.

The judges and their ilk claim it's a biological reality when in fact it's a single doctor's best guess given that they're only given two options in the first place. The line doesn't stop being arbitrary simple because the large majority fall clearly on one side or the other of it. That isn't biology. That isn't scientific fact. Science has made some attempts to explore trans identities to better understand them, because like all things science delves into, trans identities are an observed reality. Beyond that, intersex people are indisputably real, and while you can indeed write a binary definition of gender, it serves no useful function other than to push transphobia. plagiarize, https://www.resetera.com/threads/transracial-man-born-white-feels-like-he-is-filipino.6104/page-16#post-1013921 wrote:There's a lot of 'scientists' in this thread.

Until the same evidence is found for this transracial concept, I'm not going to think of it as legitimate or established a concept. The study linked in this thread made for interesting reading.
Quote:Untreated MtFs and FtMs who have an early onset of their gender dysphoria and are sexually oriented to persons of their natal sex show a distinctive brain morphology, reflecting a brain phenotype. These phenotypes are different from those of heterosexual males or females; the differences affect the right hemisphere and cortical structures underlying body perception.
The point being, that the notion that being transgender isn't just someone wanting to wear a dress, is widely recognized in psychology, and has some evidentiary backing, that is lacking in the concept of being transracial. You can't point to a study like this to suggest they are equivalent, even if you take issue with the conclusions of that study. Even if you think neither are *established* the evidence for one far outweighs the evidence for the other. plagiarize, https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-poliera-2019-ot9-im-really-glad-im-not-on-twitter-nearly-enough-to-understand-all-the-references.147939/page-215#post-26039902 wrote:Quote:Thing I feel like liberal anti-vaxxers need to do is think for a moment how they'd sound if they replaced vaccines with climate change in their arguments.

Good luck getting through with this point. I just got 'BUT THE FOSSIL RECORD' in response. plagiarize wrote:You can't disprove evolution without explaining speciation through some other means.
If your stance is 'evolution isn't real because dogs don't turn into cats', you can't disprove evolution with that. Whatever you propose as the new explanation MUST explain everything we witness both in the heralded fossil record and in recent human memory. In recent human memory, we have introduced species to new environments and witnessed speciation occurring. Speciation is real. Species are witnessed as changing over time also. Diversification is real.
You have to explain ALL of this with any new theory. plagiarize, https://www.resetera.com/threads/ap-according-to-new-study-kids-infected-at-day-care-spread-coronavirus-at-home.284945/page-2#post-45106259 wrote:Right.

I included it because it's funny considering his stance now is that sex doesn't exist and the last line where he says one has "explain ALL of this with any new theory." Which you would have to do if your claim is humans have more than two sexes and there's no genetic component at all.

"My DNA I've no idea"
Also just a perfect example of how they keep changing the base line. 10 years ago they would have said that obviously trans people aren't biologically male, that it's about how gender is a construct while sex is biological. Like honestly we're going to reach the point where they'll demand to drop the trans from trans women
Reminds me of a KKK interview where the KKK spokesperson is explaining how they are a Christian organisation and they would never allow someone of Jewish maternal ancestry to join and the interview asks "but wasn't Jesus Jewish?" to which the KKK spokesman replies with: "who's to say Jesus even had DNA?"
Plagiarize and Fundamentalist Christians agree: there's pow'r in the blood!

The thing that I find most infuriating about it, is that transgender people are well aware that their 'biological sex at birth' doesn't line up with their gender. That's the part that makes us *transgender*. By definition.
Seeing places swap out 'trans man' for 'a biological woman at birth who identifies as a transgender man' when both essentially mean the same thing (though 'identifies as a transgender man' is at best clumsy and quite possibly factually wrong), one is *way more concise* and also manages not to misgender the hypothetical trans man... well it's transparent to me that the point of all this isn't science, or accuracy, it's trying to find a way to misgender us and get away with it.
Because they want to get the dig in, but don't want to be called assholes for doing it.
I know what my biology was at birth. It was pretty much impossible to avoid being painfully aware of it.
But DNA isn't the code you are currently running, it's more like the prompt that was used to generate the code. It's like the architectural drawings of a house, or the blueprints of a machine. If you remodel that house, that doesn't change the original architectural drawings... but those drawings don't prevent modifying that house.
My genes were referenced by my body in the womb when it was originally growing. If you could rewrite the genes of an adult woman and give her the SRY gene... it wouldn't do anything to her. It wouldn't stop her ovaries working. It wouldn't make her start growing a beard. It wouldn't affect her bone density. It wouldn't do anything other than make her test positive for the SRY gene.
There isn't a single cell alive in my body right now, that was present when I was born. Not. One. My anatomy has far more relevance to my biology than my genes do. It is that anatomy that dictates my risk of breast cancer. It is my anatomy that dictates whether or not I have an athletic advantage. It is my anatomy that dictates whether or not I can use a urinal. Not whether or not I have a Y chromosome.
All of this has been an attempt to define sex as something that cannot be changed, because it happened at a set moment in the past. But it cannot be tested for or verified to 100% certainty without a time machine. And it isn't something that you can *see* by looking at people. It is a completely impractical standard, used to overcome *practical realities* that make it inconvenient to be transphobic.
No more, no less.

Like the bathroom thing.... who honestly cares? What is the point of trying to restrict trans people from using their preferred bathroom. If the implication is that cisgender women need to be protected in these spaces, aren't general harassment/assault laws enough? You would punish a dude for barging into the women's restroom and assaulting someone, you would do so as well if a cis woman assaulted another cis woman in the bathroom, you would do so as well if any trans man, woman, or person would barge into any bathroom and assaulted someone regardless of it being the men's, women's, or a gender neutral bathroom. Pointless as hell.
The progressive forum seems to be pretty incel-like.
