Because he obviously doesn't even understand he first thing about gender dysphoria, or transgenderism. He claimed to identify as a woman, then turned around and identified himself as a man. Also he talked about transitioning to being a woman, which was patently obvious bullshit on his part, considering he couldn't even be bothered to look the part even a little bit. The claim that people need to carry a medical document and out themselves to have their gender identities respected is patent crap at any rate. There 23 states with laws that prevent discrimination against trans people in public accommodation, employment, and housing. They never had any of the problems you're talking about, at least not until the right-wing got all pissed about the Obergefell v Hodges rulings and started doing false flag claims of being transgender, while presenting as men, just to scare people. We really shouldn't be looking to punish the trans community for other people being bigoted fear mongering assholes.Jadak said:What you're talking about is more about whether he's an asshole or not. Of course he is. But how do you argue that he's the wrong? Short of actually having a doctor diagnosed mental illness and carrying around something that proves it, what the difference between an actual trans-gendered person and an asshole? Who is in a position at your average club to judge how 'serious' they are?2012 Wont Happen said:If he actually identified as a woman, I would consider him a woman. Instead, he claimed to identify as a woman for a piss poor excuse of a "social experiment," and actually identifies as a man. Hope that clears it up.LysanderNemoinis said:Hey, if he says he's a woman then he's a woman. I thought that was the whole point. If it doesn't matter what your DNA says, what your biology says you are, or what you have lived your life as for decades, if you say you're suddenly a woman, you must be treated as such and anyone who says differently is transphobic, right? Besides, who are any of you to judge? You should all check your privilege.
Actually he has no point...Jadak said:Point being, asshole has a point and you're left with a couple options.
1) Fuck trans laws and only acknowledge birth sex
2) Formalize gender identification and only acknowledge people as something if they have the legal documents to support it
3) Abolish anything and everything that gives a shit about what gender a person is.
This guy seems to be going for 3, and that's fair enough.
1) Every state that's doing what you're suggesting is get hammered economically for doing it. They're doing it for petty dishonest reasons, and now trans protections are going have to be heard by the supreme court.
2) This is already being implemented, or has been implemented in most of the first world. Most places require sexual reassignment surgery to legally change gender, but that's changing because of how badly it hurts people who don't want, or can't get bottom surgery for various reasons. A lot of places are also getting gender neutral identification for people who are gender non-conforming.
3) Will never happen, it's too valuable as a political pawn, when lying politicians can claim that being inclusive hurts women and children.
This guy isn't going for any of this stuff though, he's doing the internet A Voice for Men MRA, where you complain over something meaningless to stick it to women...
