  Let me give you an analogy.

  I was born in the People’s Republic of China. I immigrated to the United States of America when I was not even 10. I grew up in America, I grew attached to the principles of Freedom and Democracy. I went through the proper channels and I obtained Citizenship through the proper way. I am an American.

  If someone were to tell me that I’m “not American”, and that because I was “born Chinese, I must be Chinese for the rest of my life”; or, in your phrasing: “A Chinese person cannot become American” you’d be a xenophobe.

  Gender is a social contruct. If a man wants to be a woman, or a woman wants to be a man, just let them. Its not denying that they have XX or XY chromosomes, that is what their biology says. But being a “Man” or “Woman” are labels society attributes to those chromosomes, just like the concept of Nationality.

  TLDR: Please just let people be whoever they want to be. If you start attacking people’s identity, nobody is gonna wanna talk to you. If you want to spread transphobia, you can go to twitter. Enjoy your nazi bar.

    Analogies are fallacies. Instead of discussing the topic at hand, we now have to discuss how accurate or inaccurate your analogy is. It’s not a 1:1 representation of the subject.

    If you’re seriously trying to say men can be women because of immigration, that really just shows how far gone you are and why you shouldn’t be taken seriously by rational people.

      Men who want to be called women are perpetuating the idea that women should be a certain way.

      If you actually knew any trans people you might realize that they are often the most gender-nonconforming people. But instead you’ve imagined this image of the misogynistic stereotype-driven trans woman rather tban bothered to observe material reality.

        Sigh. It really never ends with you people.

        The replies go on and on, and on and on. It’s non-stop. It’s incessant.

        You brow-beat people until they leave because they have better things to do.

        I had a retort, but I didn’t bother sending it. There’s just no point at this point. All I can do is block and move on.

        Thanks for reinforcing my views.

      Oh goodie, more censorship.

      Funny how this started by me pointing out mods abusing their power should not be taken seriously.

  Censored for saying:

  People get banned for saying men aren’t women. You don’t have a point when mods abuse their power. Looks like my comment was censored for even pointing that out.

  Literally just proving me right and the original commenter wrong every time mods abuse their power here.
