Do you think transwomen are women?

[Anonymous]

Tell me what you think lol

[Lliam]

Nope. Trans women are not women, hence the "trans" prefix.

They can "feel" female but they patently ARE NOT. They don't have female reproductive systems, bone structure, or genuine female hormones. They don't menstruate and they can't get pregnant. Drugs and cosmetic surgery can't change that.

They are basically ultra-effeminate gay men.

I strongly object to allowing them access to women's only facilities unless they have completely medically transitioned. And I strongly oppose allowing them, under any circumstances, to compete in women's-only athletics. It should also be illegal for people who under 18 years old to transition. That includes taking puberty blockers or hormones.

I don't have any problem with trans-women, per se. I am friends with a trans-woman named Robin who decided to fully transition later in life. She doesn't make a very attractive women, but so what? He was married before he decided to transition and his wife supported his decision. They are still married and are really good people. Robin just wants to live her life and isn't on any campaign to promote transgenderism. I treat her like a female friend.

I'm friends with a trans-man, too. He looks like a short guy but is a great person.

I have don't have any problem with trans people. But I don't get involved with new acquaintances who have preferred pronouns. I just walk away.

I have LGBT friends and I support their rights, but I'm not part of that community. And I have to say that I've become ambivalent to the LGBTQ+ agenda that is being pushed so strongly. It's making me less supportive.

[MrOracle]

No. A woman is a person who was born with XX chromosomes and has a uterus and vagina.

A transwoman is a man who feels like he is a woman, and in most cases dresses, and sometimes has his body altered, to APPEAR more like a woman, but a man can't ever become a woman.

It's delusional to believe otherwise.

That doesn't mean that trans people shouldn't be respected as people, or that they shouldn't be able to dress as they wish, or even alter their own bodies once they reach adulthood, but they will never be the opposite sex biologically, no matter what hormones they take or what surgeries they have.

This is pure medical science - feelings are irrelevant.

[Paul09]

Or could be a womans mind is trapped in a males body?

[MrOracle]

@Paul09 Still a male's body. Will always be a male's body, even if it is altered to appear more female.

[Screenwriter]

But humans are not simply biology, Oracle. We are complex beings influenced in all manners and ways. Our hormones from the mother flood the body of the baby in utero. Most babies, 98 percent of them, end up all male and all female. A tiny percentage are hermaphroditic. Others, because of unknown biological influences, that 2 percent, are transgender. 15 percent are homosexual. Again, sexual orientation is biological. There is no need for everyone to reproduce to keep the population stable or increasing slightly. And feelings are everything. Come on!!! Your sense of yourself, who you are, are all FEELINGS! Just because you don't understand the feelings of someone who is very different from you, you don't discount their feelings. It's like saying someone's religion is wrong. No, it's different and you have to respect those differences. I understand that you can't create a PHYSICAL WOMAN from a physical man. But if the psychological "woman" is there, that is what matters. Now, adjusting to that reality is an incredible difficulty in a society that is not very accepting of difference. But we've come a long way since the 1950s and Renee' Richards the trans tennis star. There are issues to resolve about sports. But other than that, trans people deserve acceptance and compassion, just as we all do. And we ALL HAVE DIFFERENCES: some are visible, some are internal, that are just as complicated as sexual orientation and psychological orientation.

[MrOracle]

@Screenwriter The psychological stuff DOES matter in many ways, yes. But it doesn't matter in EVERY way - there are always SOME IMPORTANT things that are tied to biology that you cannot ignore, even if it makes you feel bad at times. That trans activists are trying to make people believe this this isn't true is not just wrong, it's insane. We are ALL, every one of us, limited in some ways by our biology. It's unfortunate that a few of us are not as well matched psychologically with our bodies, and while that can be compensated for to some degree, it will NEVER be 100% or even close, and to suggest otherwise is delusional. And yet they are literally teaching doctors and nurses in medical schools to do UTERUS CHECKS on biological males and other insane things - and questioning this is verboten for political reasons. Until you encounter some of the real-world consequences of that line of thinking, you can't really understand how truly insidious it actually is.

[Keyboardkat]

Absolutely correct!

[schittywok]

@Screenwriter Screen write this. Your daughter loves swimming. She lives in PA or anywhere. She says, I'd love to compete. And I'd love to go to UPENN. What you don't sign her up for is competing against a tranny. Not only that, the asshole has the temerity to shower and change in a Woman's locker room. Whilst setting records, but the fact these girls are seeing Men's JUNK just flapping in the breeze. A line should be and must be drawn. If you aren't into that, you can screw yourself.

[OlderAndWiser]

THIS! Dude, I can't add to what you said!

[schittywok]

@OlderAndWiser @oddbeme SIGGGGHHH.. What do Libtards do? They initially gave a shit. They really did. That was 20 fucking years ago. Everything went to hell in a hand basket. Quick. Just like all qualities in the parties wax and wane. Now, they try to fancy themselves the opposite of what they were ONCE BROUGHT UP AS.

[OddBeMe]

@schittywok everything went to hell when people labeled themselves something different? Such fckin snowflakes….

[schittywok]

You would think. There'd be some common ground. Yet, there is none. You putz the nutz sack in the girlz locker roomz. Get out the Gold Bond powder. Instead of that being a place where a 65 yr old can air out and powder the nut sack amongst adult men, you now place this power in all of humanity because people labeled themselves something different.

[schittywok]

Whose the snowflake? The asshole who allows a 65 yr old man in among 18 year old Women because it's legal? And they can? The old timer fancies himself a swimmer. He's Uncle Herbert the Pervert from Family Guy. I'm a snowflake. Because I don't want his ballz flapping in the breeze of women. I get it now. What you are saying is, Herbert the Pervert is a homo. So, he shouldn't be allowed to shower with boys. I see the smartz there. You allow him to shower with Meg and the gals.

[Mopen]

@Screenwriter I have come to realize that the greatest assets of female character is her ability to chose her mate through power of seduction. Although beauty as fem character is essential but not necessary. Having attractive and seductive composure and appearance is the attention seeker to all sexes.

[schittywok]

@screenwriter You sound like a prime example of a Liberal of times past who gave up their soul 20 years ago. Mr. David Van Driessen. I cannot escape the Beavis and Butthead times. For one, Mike Judge gave us them and Office Space. The red stapler? The flare? Mike Judge also starred in a Jack Ass Movie. Who cannot forget King Of The Hill. You "people", you and @oddbeme are stuck in a time warp. You become something twisted and warped. Who cannot for the lives in you understand why it is Republicans who stand to overcome Herbert the Pervert.

[schittywok]

Just let your ass flaps fly. Let them do it joyfully. Where Johnny Knoxville and the boys are opening their butts for Hot Sauce. For everyone to enjoy. It's a great opener for Jack Ass Forever. Oh, but you say, they have a female in the cast. Well, she signed up for it. She knew she would see assholes opened up to a funnel of hot sauce. She knows what she's getting into. I've only seen the new Jack Ass 4.5 the documentary cut. But I can tell you what. When you watch Jack Ass you see the asses, the scrotums, and the penises. There's a right way of doing it, and a wrong way.

[Screenwriter]

Transwomen aren't BIOLOGICAL females. But they are emotional and psychological females as far as they are concerned. It's similar to being gay. People know WHO and what they are from very young ages, in general. This seems to be true for transgender people also, all 2 percent of the population who are trans.

But it's difficult to be different from the majority, which is why many people suppress their natural feelings and proclivities. We should support people being their true selves. Even if it makes us uncomfortable and we have no experience of the different.

Broadening your outlook is always best and leads to understanding and compassion.

[OlderAndWiser]

No, it is significantly less than 1% of the population in the US. The number is higher - 1.4% - for those age 13-17, but the overall percentage is not increasing over time. This suggests that many of the young people who identify as transgender will not identify when they get older. Their identification at an early age may simply reflect the unique societal pressures at that age, sexual confusion, and a means of escaping the pressures that would be experienced by teens who have normal sexual interests.

williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/.../

[Screenwriter]

@OlderAndWiser All the information I've read is 2 percent average. And of course the number is higher the younger people are because they don't know and want to escape sexual pressure. I hung out with gay men for. years to escape being hit on by unwelcome men in college. Had a lot less sex but a lot more fun. People thought I was a lesbian. Course, I dress in the uniform, but I like board shorts and T shirts. and I do a lot of yard work and gardening, so the uniform is practical. I dress up well!!! The problem with the stat as cited from that 2016 survey is that many trans people do not identify as trans and would not even answer a survey that asked them IF they were trans. The definition of transgender is muddy. Some people who crossdress call themselves transgender. Others do not. Whereas some trans people live as their biological sex but wish they were the opposite sex. Trans people who've had sex reassignment surgery often no longer consider themselves transgender. They tick the sex box they've been reassigned to. Many trans people are in the closet due to fear of reprisals: socially, religiously or physical victimization. This is the same problem that occurred with gay people 50 years ago. The guy who handed out those stats admitted that they aren't terribly accurate because of all these factors.

ABSO-LUTELY
NOT

—
I can’t stand those freaks. I can’t stand Pride Parades and Pride Month. I feel like all of this nonsense was pushed by the Illuminati. By our Demonic Government
—
I watched how a young female was getting gender reassignment surgery. I watched how they destroyed her female anatomy!!!
It broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes.
This whole LGBTQRSTUV movement is pure insanity and immorality. They all depraved!!!
They destroyed her vagina!

I’m never having kids. Because of This! I’m never having kids! I wouldn’t dare put my child into a school where GAY PRIDE is a thing.

[EmyyWolf]

I would never bring my child into a world were Biological Males want to be females and act like females. And biological females want be males. It’s all upside down backwards and wrong! And if anyone think otherwise, they’re a brainwashed puppet. Sheeplike. Bot 🤖

[Amur8711]

Absolutely love your option, other than the having no kids part. If you don't have kids to pass on your Ideals then they will keep winning. Homeschooling is an option, yes its more work, but its how it should be when schools don't teach what you want to your kids.

[msmissydc]

Yes they are.

[PenkWing]

Yes, trans women are women who were assigned a different gender at birth.

Gender is in the brain. Talk to actual trans people and you'll have no doubt that their actual gender is what they tell you. Gender experience is real for everyone.

Cis people will experience their gender, it's not just something that they see in the mirror. The same is true for trans people. I know I'm a man for sure. And I would still know that I'm a men even if I didn't know what my own body looked like, because it's part of my own gender experience, in my brain.

[Tara89]

nooope

[Aerissa_Jade]

What I think doesn't matter, they can do what they want and I'll still treat them as human beings.

[Rei13]

I will always respect another person and call them whatever name/pronouns they prefer. If they want to present as a man/woman I’ll treat them accordingly however they are still biologically whatever gender they were born as. A trans-woman is not the same as a biological woman and no matter the changes they make will never be the same as a woman is and that is ok

[Daniela1982]

No more than a wolf is a sheep wearing sheep's clothing.

[Man-O-Metal]

Nope. You got a pp, you a man. You got a vv, you a woman. Nuff said.

[jengeorge26]

Men without a penis and balls and surgery that gives them a vagina and female hormones takes their manhood away, so they are not really a female but they are not male either.

[Man-O-Metal]

@jengeorge26 🤦🏻‍♂️ oh jeez

[jengeorge26]

If not a male or female, Just a sissy wearing bra and panties

[MCheetah]

They objectively and quite literally are not women.
They are either men, are they are "transwomen," which is just a man that somewhat kind of (but not really) looks female.

Women are adult females who have two X chromosomes and a functioning female reproductive system (or previously had one). Someone born with a penis is male.

I seriously hate that we live in a society where reality is ignored. No one is saying transwomen can't be trans, but they are not women in the slightest.

[mermaidcancermoon]

yea i dont care

[Keyboardkat]

It's really simple. A man has an X and a Y chromosome in every gene. A woman has two X chromosomes in every gene. You can have all the surgery you want, and you can change your plumbing artificially if you want, and take all the hormone shots you want. It doesn't change your genetic makeup! That is something you can't change. You can't change your age, and you can't change your gender, really. As a trans woman, can you give birth to a baby and nurse the baby? I rest my case.

[Spikey_uwu]

Yes? It's in the name?

Don't give me that XX XY crap. I'm glad u passed ur high school bio class but advanced bio would beg to differ.

[JessicaEarl]

Please share what advanced bio has to say

[Spikey_uwu]

Admittedly I don't know much cus I'm not a biologist. My friend who is broke it down like this: Even if gender and sex where the same, chromosomes don't always determine sex. Other factors from environment to coding accidents can mess with sex. Basing the sex of someone by chromosomes ignores 1.7% of the population (intersex people witch by the way are more than red heads). My opinion on all this is we shouldn't obsess over someone's identity. It really doesn't matter in comparison to actual problems like the wealth gap that's killing the economy or climate change. Don't be the problem.

[MountAverage]

Your biologist friend is correct.

[JessicaEarl]

I’m a psychologist and a half way through my medical education. I’m so close! I was curious what you had to say. In truth, the chromosomes do matter. This 1.7% of the population is a developmental defect that can happen before or after fertilization of the ovum, not an evolutionary genetic coding like a red head. The comparison of transgender people to intersex people is offensive to transgenders, who in fact do not have mutations. The human species is a biologically dimorphic species. These are sexual attributes, not gender attributes. Transgenderism was coined to change the term from transsexualism because it is referring to a psychological state, not a biological one. The very very big difference between transgender people is that it is a condition within their psychology, and intersex individuals have errors in their genetic code.

[Spikey_uwu]

^id ♥️ this if I could Also congrats!!

[JessicaEarl]

Thank you!

[tracyann41]

No its insulting to real women like myself that a man is trying to claim there a women and not know what a women is nor how to act like one women don't act flamboyant

[lightbulb27]

no... because someone thinks they are a woman doesn't make them a woman.

a woman is a woman physically and emotionally and hormonally.

[LazerBean]

Nope.

[kobeni]

Yes.

[Berethor]

No, they are transwomen, not a real women.

[TommyMountainFigure]

No I don't, but they would say "what difference is it to me what you think?"

And they would be right.

[miniskirtcaley81]

100% trans women are real women

[EmmaMary]

No absolutely not, and never, ever will be either... Period.

[sawno]

No, but if they blatently present female i am willing to use female pronouns.
