| Comment | >So are they "becoming" a woman, or are they "adopting the traits of" women in order to pretend to be them?
They already have the mental traits of a woman, hence where the phrase "born in the wrong body" comes from. They are more comfortable changing their physical characteristics to match their gender also because for many, it's obviously going to suck having a female mind in a male body.
>And on order to "adopt the traits of women" you need to believe in such a thing, i.e. gender stereotypes. Ergo, "trans women" are simply men with negative stereotypes of women using those stereotypes to pretend to be a woman.
Men and women are different, that's a fact not a stereotype. You are mixing up your arguments here. The point is they already have many female mental traits, they are transitioning physically not mentally.
>Water is wet, but it can't become fire. That's my point.
But it can in this hypothetical scenario. Say we had a form of surgery that could give water the physical characteristics of fire, allowing it to burn stuff. Say some water is going around at the moment thinking it is fire and trying to burn stuff but failing. If we can give that water the physical characteristics of fire and allow it's physical attributes to match it's mental attributes, why wouldn't we? |
