How? A man doesn't become a woman by wearing dresses and skirts and using a purse, and he doesn't become female by messing around with his hormone levels.

He's still a man, still male, whatever his desires to the contrary. Anything else is simply a fiction that the rest of us are being told to participate in.

You expressed incredulity that someone would define men/women in a reductive way (they didn't by the way, you missed their point) and then in the very next paragraph demonstrated that you have an extraordinarily reductive view of what defines a 'man'.

Come on! You can do better! I believe in you!

I understood their point and I fundamentally disagree with it.

Look, if a man wants to wear dresses or take estrogen or call himself a woman, that's fine, he can do what he likes. But whatever he does, he's not and will never be a woman, because he is male. Women are female, not some idea in a man's head.

Let's not ignore millions of years of evolutionary history just to spare the feelings of a few cross-dressers.

We get it. You think sex and gender are the same thing, and have very narrow views on how they're defined and a woeful lack of acknowledgement that there's even a sliver of complexity here.

But you're not even trying to argue this or convince anyone of anything. You're just saying "nuh huh. What I believe in true and applies to everyone whether they like it or not".

I'm guessing there's nothing out there that'll change your mind. You've taken a fundamentalist position, which begs the question why are you here?

Lol get off your high horse. We can agree to disagree.

> You're just saying "nuh huh. What I believe in true and applies to everyone whether they like it or not".

Kind of ironic considering that's what the trans activists are insisting women must submit to, regarding all the men invading their spaces.

What is going on on HN? This talk is ridiculous.

Replace "men" and "women" with "black" and "white" and read your stuff again.

Why is that different?
