Questions trans activists never answer

Add your own.

1.If transwomen are women, why do they need to transition?

2.If transwomen are not male, what are they transitioning from?

3.Can you explain gender identity without referencing pre-existing gender roles?

4.If being a woman is simply a matter of declaring it how does the word “woman” have any meaning?

5.Can males actually know what it is like to be female? 

6.Why isn’t the trans community outraged that surgical transition leads to significantly higher rates of suicide? Shouldn’t an answer besides transition be sought to help dysphoria?

7. What does woman feel like?

THIS STRIKES ME AS REALLY TRANSPHOBIC WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. AUTO UNFOLLOW ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS 

FUCKING RAD FEMS 

How? It’s a series of well thought out, non aggressive, critical questions to make you think. There’s nothing transphobic here- just questions.

1st of all. Just stop for a second. One second. And think about how this makes trans individuals feel. Can u imagine how triggering this could be?
Know one has the right to tell a trans woman shes not a woman. No one even has the right to even QUESTION it. Just stop.
Thats so fucked up beyond belief.
Can you not see that??
Its really scary how many people think this is ok. Really scary.

Ideas are never beyond question unless you are in a fucking cult.

“Phobia” has been attached as a suffix to many ideologies as a way of silencing criticism. This seems to be a peculiar aspect of early 21st century thought control. 

A “phobia” is an irrational fear. Challenging/questioning ideas, beliefs, and other mental constructs is not the expression of fear. If anything, it is intellectual curiosity and courage.

What IS a woman? What IS a man? I haven’t seen anything from trans activists to answer these questions other than “it’s just how I feel.”  Why should anyone feel “triggered” or invalidated by simple questions like these?

If you don't think it's natural that's okay as long as you keep your opinion to yourself. You are probably worrying abaout your trans child's life but people like YOU are ones who makes their lives diffucult with forcing your opinions to them.

4thwavenow answered:

Again with the “forcing.” See my post from earlier today. Why should anyone keep their opinions to themselves? You obviously aren’t keeping your thoughts to yourself. Some of the people writing to me seem to think parents, more than anyone, have no right to even talk to their kids about concerns they have. Come talk to me in a few decades after you have kids of your own. 

angry-mawile:

“Keep your opinions to yourself! Unless that opinion happens to be blind agreement, then go ahead!” Obviously we should just leave the parenting to random strangers on the internet.

Yeah, it would be laughable if their “parenting” weren’t so prevalent and destructive.

How dare an actual, live parent descend into the pit of Thought Police vipers who patrol Tumblr,  and have the gall to challenge their edicts?

Maybe you should accept your child and not force them to be female

4thwavenow answered:

Has anybody ever heard of a teenager who can be “forced” to do anything? Discussing and even challenging does not equal “forcing.”

generibus:

Also, being female is permanent. Human beings can’t change sex. 

Right. They can’t. Of course, daring to point out a simple biological fact like sexual dimorphism can start a wave of viral outrage on Tumblr and a chorus of cyber voices screaming “child abuser!!!!”

But to the questioner’s point, if my child wants to “identify” as male, I can’t force her not to. A teenager’s mind is their own, as is their choice to dress, cut their hair, and present themselves physically to the world as they choose.

It’s ironic to me that the people accusing me of “forcing” a teenager to do anything want to force me to cave under the pressure of the Thought Police Squad. Because talking about chromosomes to a 16-year-old–or on an Internet blog, evidently–is tantamount to beating a helpless child into submission. Or as one commenter on this post put it, a parent challenging a teen to consider a different viewpoint is equivalent to a prison guard oppressing an inmate.

Can we talk about this

This is why gender compass type talk is bullcrap and hurtful. If you struggle living with a female body day to day, but have no issue with engaging with femininity and crap, you shouldn’t have to live with that struggle when transitioning would give you a significantly better quality of life. This is why “cis” cannot mean “conforms to stereotypes of one’s birth sex.”

we’ve done it kids the trans umbrella no longer contains people with sex dysphoria

What the actual fuck is this shit

This just in: trans people aren’t really trans. Any problems you have with the configuration of your body are your problem. Medical transition is only useful as a correction for gender non conforming people. What the actual fuck? This is the exact opposite of progress.

Every time I’ve read a post like this it’s the same thing: people twisting themselves into cognitive-semantic pretzels trying to “explain” or prescribe or justify some identity that must be claimed or denied. And the means always justify the ends: Trans=good! Often, the thread starts with some 13-year-old asking the Tumblr experts who and what to identify as.

I just don’t understand what happened in the last few decades. Poisoning of the water supply seems as likely an explanation as any.

I recommend reading all the added notes on the thread for full effect. There’s even one that says, with no sarcasm, “This is why I’m still confused about gender identities.” Ya think?

Bisexual woman here, and I've found that many, many pansexual/genderqueer people say that bisexuals are bigoted because "bi" means two and that makes us bigoted against the whole gender rainbow. Or they'll magnanimously say you may call yourself bisexual if you're attracted to exactly two genders. Odd how they focus on the "bi" and ignore that it's not "bigenderal".

Since when did the Gender Squad decide they get to police someone’s sexual orientation and/or who someone is attracted to? WTF.

Excellent piece by another woman who moved away from namby-pamby 3rd Wave feminism:
“But one thing kept bothering me. There was something I did not understand: 
“What is a woman?”
 I could not stop thinking about this question. I asked female friends privately and found that many of them were confused too. I kept hearing that “trans women ARE women” and I wanted to understand what it meant. I thought there was something wrong with me that I didn’t immediately see it. Was I a secret bigot in my heart of hearts? I felt like I was doing something wrong by even contemplating this, but it would not go away.”

“Monosexual privilege”

fadical:

sometimes i wonder… imagine walking up to lesbians who fought for everything, who saw stonewall and built lesbian culture, who made herstories and bled and lost their lovers and wives and were loud in the 50s, the 70s, were visible and proud and were beaten down because of it, the lesbians who are now old and grey and still married because they fought for it, lesbians who died because of who they were, lesbians who were forced into straight marriages, lesbians who have scars, lesbians who have stories dating back years who still remember every grueling inch of acceptance they struggled for, lesbians with work-worn hands and strong tired eyes, older lesbians who are still scared to come out, lesbians who went to hell and back but never once gave up who they were and have bones made of steel and spines never bent under the burden of hate they’ve had to carry

imagine walking up to these women and uttering the words ‘monosexual privilege’

Anonymous asked:

I am afraid to ask/submit this openly because it might significantly hurt me in my real life (I could literally lose my home if I say anything deemed "transphobic") - but I have been pressured to transition before. I am a bisexual non-gender-conforming woman and a group of people seriously pressured me to "come out" as a trans man or at least "non-binary" when that failed. I actually wondered from time to time due to their pressure, but never came to such conclusions on my own.

The person who wrote this is afraid. Speaking her mind openly could cause her to lose her home! Many people like me are also afraid: parents who have no societal support to even **caution** their children about taking extreme medical decisions which could alter their bodies and minds forever.
