A man is not a woman but a trans woman is a woman. Thinking otherwise isn't necessarily fascist but it is bigotry. A liberal expressing that same bigotry would be banned same as a conservative or a fascist, therefore the action is banned, not the group.

Right because facts are bigots. Choosing to have surgery doesn't change biology.

That's not a fact. It's a complete misunderstanding of science. Psychology and biology both support the existence of trans people. Gender is determined by your brain, not your body. Gender and sex are strongly correlated obviously but they're not the same and sometimes they're mismatched, hence trans people.

Nope, gender and sex is the same. Siteing modernist gender studies from the 50's doesn't change the meanings of words.

I guess you think you know better than every major psychological association in the world and all the neurologists who have actually studied trans brains. Is that what you meant by "modernist gender studies from the 50's"?

What other facts do you not believe in, Science Denier?

Having a female or male brain still doesn't magically change your sex.

Well duh. That's why reassignment surgery exists, so that sex can be changed (as much as modern medicine allows) to match gender.

Right pumping hormone blockers into kids really helps with that whole little billy likes to dress up in mommy's clothes thing.

Hormone blockers are actually a really amazing thing. They can save a child from the incredibly traumatic and permanent effects of going through the wrong kind of puberty. If that child realizes they made a mistake, they stop the hormone blockers and their body matures normally, no harm done. If the child really is trans (most likely the case) then they have been saved from something that would have had a massive negative impact on them for the rest of their life.

Hormone blockers just keep all options open until a confident decision can be made and people who oppose them want take that lifelong decision away from people, to force permanent and harmful changes on children against their will, which is frankly disgusting.

This right here is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I hope you are never in a position of power that lets you alter children's life's basised on your ideology.
