Whelp, she’s successfully put her foot in her mouth again…

Surely by now, she should realize that discussion doesn’t exist on social media.
 
She’s brave, then. The transactivists can be a vicious bunch.

OTOH, she’s got heaps of money, so they can’t really do anything to her.
 
In almost every other instance, if someone’s mental reality deviates from physical reality, the medical profession calls it a delusional disorder, a form of psychosis. Yet, the medical profession has identified this particular break between mental and physical reality to be completely normal.

It’s makes for a curious exception to the general rule by which we usually identify delusions, and it’s understandable that some people, like J.K. Rowling, have a hard time wrapping their head around this paradigm.
 
I’m having my own problems these days with “Fournyers”.

They claim my instance that 2+2=4 I s privileged and bigoted . . .

These are apparently more recent comments, referring to an article that references “people who menstruate” rather than using the words women or girls.

I was under the impression that the new organs were not functional - surely a male-to-female person doesn’t menstruate?

Unless they’re referring to a woman who identifies as a man. But according to transgenderism, shouldn’t such a person just be called a man?

Yes, but they therefore object to the notion that menstruation is a female thing. As such, they need the “new” category of “people who menstruate”, as “woman” includes some “penile-americans” (or hyphonated-Britains , in this cas)

That’s very confusing
 
And the headline wouldn’t be specific enough:
“Creating a more equal post-covid19 world for men, women, girls and boys. And gender non-conforming, etc”

No, there isn’t a break in reality. Gender dysphoria isn’t a psychosis.

Gender dysphoria (if I understand the term correctly) is not a psychosis. But having gender dysphoria does not make you a member of the sex you feel like being. A girl who feels like she should be a boy is still a girl.

They way you’ve phrased it here isn’t correct either. What you described sound more like gender fluidity.

I think i know what you are saying but there’s a lot we don’t know about the origins of gender dysphoria.
 
There are three dangerous things you can do on the internet 1) Not like cats, 2) Like pineapple pizza, 3), have an opinion. Well, I guess no. 3 covers the first two.

And sadly, trying to research it can get you into a boatload of trouble if your observations and findings don’t match the LGBT narrative.
 
The fact of the matter is that the English language, imho, doesn’t succinctly encompass what the trans and non binary folks have been trying to teach the rest of us.

For instance, it seems like for me to be precise about myself (by following the “genderbread person” tool that I found in my local lgtba center).

I’m a: masculine male man…I present as a man, I have male anatomy, and I identify as a man.

If I had female anatomy but presented and felt like a man, I’d be: masculine female man.

If I felt like a woman but presented and had the body of a male: masculine male woman.

I think that’s how it works. I wish I knew more tbh. I’m lucky enough to have my gender synch with my feelings and presentation, so I never gave it too much thought(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

smirk I hope this is humor, but the way things go when people get bored tells me it isn’t.
This is very easy to recognize. Undress and take a look. Male organs? Guess what? Yes, correct. You are “male”. No? Female organs then? How about that, you are female.
Having a feeling that you are not the gender you were born as does not change that gender.
The physical side of this is very easy, the mental side not so. I do feel sympathy for those with this problem, but you were born, and this is the body you have.

I feel the need to add: I have no issue with either gender/sex posing as the other, clothing and whatever else they choose. Relations between those people, fine with me also, no issue. I oppose the idea that everyone else should be required by any law to “play along or humor” the behavior. Birth certificate states gender/sex. Legally that is what/who you/we are.
Dominus vobiscum
