You say you want clarity but you're missing clarity yourself. Why is it important to exclude people born with penises from women's sports? You don't know what that person may have experienced hormonally over the years, and you definitely don't know their gender. Someone being born with a penis doesn't actually give you the information you're claiming to want with your terf-phrase. If you want to find inclusive language, maybe look at what some trans orgs have suggested.
Sexual dimorphism. Look it up, learn about it. This is not a new concept. It is well established and runs through the vast majority of animal species. Nobody can help you until you develop a desire to learn. The ball is in your court. Only you can get yourself out of this intellectual and emotional hole that you have dug yourself into.
Sex is a spectrum! Look it up!
I am quite sure I have studied the topic more deeply than you have :D
You are right, it is a spectrum. The spectrum of sex doesn't make sexual dimorphism invalid though. If you have studied this stuff very deeply at all, then you are exceptionally skilled at hiding it. Whenever anyone asks you anything in this thread, you always just instantly dive behind childish name calling and mindless insults. You have an opportunity to share your point of view here, and yet it always seems to come out as if you have no substance whatsoever. I know it's not true. You could be doing so much better.
I'm not interested in arguing with transphobes :) just here for other trans people
Words lose meaning when people use them too much. There actually are people put there that speak derogatorily of trans people. I'm not one of them. It is OK for people to have different points of view. I know you've been hurt badly, and that is not fair, it shows in nearly every comment you make. I wish those things hadn't happened to you, but I, and the others in this thread trying to help you are not the ones who hurt you. It is OK to let your guard down sometimes, snapping at everybody and instantly resorting to insults at any sign of disagreement isn't helping you at all, it is just making you a more and more bitter person. I hope some day you can find some peace.
you are arguing very strongly in a ton of comments against trans rights!! transphobe!!!
I'm not against trans people having rights. I never said anything against trans people having rights. I believe everyone should have equal rights. It amazes me that anyone would be against anyone else having equal rights. I don't understand blind hatred towards entire groups simply due to differences. I know it will fall on deaf ears, but you literally are exactly what you are claiming of me. You are behaving extremely bigotedly.
You have the power to change, and there are many people who will support you if/when you decide to approach the world in a more loving way. I think that the fact that you keep encouraging me to respond is a good sign that deep down, you truly want to be better. I'm sorry people have treated you poorly, but they only have as much power as you decide to continue giving them. You can break the chains they've put on you, you are not their slave. You are strong, and you can get out of this.
booo!!!! transphobe!!!!! bad performance!!!!! noone believes you give a shit!!! no Oscars for you!!!!
Good luck out there. I hope you do alright.
boo!!!! noone believes you!! get off the stage!!!
I don't know, but maybe seeing an alternative method of trans awareness communication like this may help. Imagine what a different world it would be if everyone were this willing to educate and share instead of just spreading hate. When I say I know you can do better, this is exactly what I mean.
