putting women in quotes gives the game up. i don’t know what reasonable dialog you’re looking to have
What does that mean in this context?
The fact that this is an obvious lie makes it a better shibboleth, because people in your outgroups are hesitant to pay the reputational cost of repeating it. In a case like this one, the lie can get people killed by encouraging underestimations of a man's propensity to violence.
We do not need to play along with the absurd claim that if a man identifies as a woman that means he is a woman. This is sexist nonsense.
>Trans women are women.
What is a woman?
At the end of the day, the best treatment we know of for gender dysphoria is transitioning. It leads to happier and longer lives than anything else.
It's not. Cross-dressing emasculated males are not females. This is a biological fact.

Mutilating children's genitals is not a treatment. It's being banned across the world.
No one was talking about children’s genitals until you brought it up, weirdo
Glad you agree cross-dressing and genital mutilation don't change you from male to female.
>No one was talking about children’s genitals until you brought it up, weirdo
You did. Transitioning children is genital mutilation. Glad you agree we should ban transitioning children.
Yeah man, the standard of care is to wait until at least 18 before any surgeries. So if we’re talking about surgery (which we weren’t, transitioning doesn’t require surgery) then we aren’t talking about kids.
You are so upset about this but you don’t seem to actually understand any of it?

Glad you agree we should ban children from getting trans surgeries.

Puberty blockers and hormones mutilate genitals, cause infertility, etc. Transitioning is child abuse.
>You are so upset about this but you don’t seem to actually understand any of it?
I understand all of it. Why are you so upset about these biological facts?
Yet you just keep repeating the talking points someone else gave you.
Puberty blockers are safe and temporary. Once you stop taking them, things proceed normally from where you left off. I fully support their use in delaying puberty until someone is old enough to medically transition, and I fully support socially transitioning at any age.
Can I ask, how does this issue affect you personally? Do you know anyone who is trans, or have you dealt with these issue yourself?
Facts. I keep repeating facts.
>Puberty blockers are safe and temporary.
No they're not, which is why they're being banned across the world.
>Once you stop taking them, things proceed normally from where you left off. I fully support their use in delaying puberty until someone is old enough to medically transition, and I fully support socially transitioning at any age.
There it is! You're just pro-child grooming and genital mutilation. That's sickening.

Yes in fact my sister transitioned years ago and she’s so much happier for it. She’s not the only one too. It’s crazy just how much it can turn someone’s life around to receive proper care.
You dodged my question though, what is your connection to this issue? I’m curious why you care so much.
