This is certainly true. But some trans people are making great efforts to have their biology ignored by the legal system. And on the rare occasions where biology is relevant, this is a problem.

So for the millionth time, no, we are (or at least I am) talking about sex. I couldn't possibly be less interested in what a trans person, or any person, decides to do when it comes to expressing their femininity/masculinity. I'm all for it. The more gender diversity the better.

But femininity is utterly irrelevant when it comes to sport. Femininity is utterly irrelevant when it comes to male vs female patterns of violence. And the right to express your femininity is not the right to be treated identically to a woman. For anybody. So please, tell me what human rights trans people want that they don't have. Be specific. People always deflect when I ask this question.

I'm not blaming trans people as a group for a "conservative" backlash. I'm very specifically blaming the toxic, misogynistic elements of trans activism and the incoherent ideology they spout, for a backlash that is coming from people, especially women, who are absolutely not conservative.

You need to stop hiding behind the idea that everybody who has an issue with the extremes of trans activism is "hateful" or "conservative." Many reasonable, kind, liberal people are simply not able to go along with the gaslighting that's happening.
