Alright, you convinced me. I'm switching to Team Elmo.
That was your goal right? Take someone who agrees with your larger belief system, find something you can nitpick, and then berate them about it until they can't stomach the thought of politically aligning with you?
Because you did a bang up job.
Now excuse me, I need to go sign up for Twitter Blue and get some MAGA hats.
I'd argue that it's pretty obvious that man and woman are socially constructed, and as such - there's just no fact of the matter to get down to. I also find that most things of strict self-id basically become just a place to have "no true scotsman" arguments, and therefore we'd be better served to stop using the terms for policy making at the very least.
They’re saying chromosomes are a good measure for “transness” or “cisness”.
No, they're not. They're saying that because a person's chromosomes don't change based on whether they are trans or cis that a clear biological answer to the question being posed is impossible.
Like... did you read the rest of the person's comment? It's pretty clear they are not anti-trans if you read the entire context and don't just cherry pick a random sentence .
I didn't think they're anti-trans at all, and I didn't mean to suggest that they were. I just wanted to put a finer point on what they were saying regarding chromosomes. There are widespread misconceptions about trans health that it can be valuable to contradict, and some of that comment could potentially be misconstrued. Maybe it feels like nitpicking, but finer points are going to matter in the future as trans people's rights are under increasing assault on a legal front. It wasn't my intention to start an argument though. Please accept my apologies.
