Just say “in reproductive terms, trans women may take the male role,”
Don’t hold your breath for any significant portion of the population to ever go along with something this ridiculously convoluted. By the way, “the male role” is sexist. It’s always amusing to see horseshoe theory in action.
Fact is, the vast majority of people don’t and won’t use male/female
However, simply waltzing into a conversation and saying “um actually
you’re transphobic because you said the female body doesn’t have testicles” is both rude and wrong.
This is what you lot are doing, and literally trying to turn it around to the exact opposite of what happened here, lol. Not gonna let you move that goalpost, sorry.
How can you not see the irony of making this big stink about how words can be used different ways, while simultaneously calling someone a transphobe/bigot for using a word in an accurate way, that happens to be not the way you want to use it? The telltale stench of “rules for thee, not for me”.
The word use itself isn’t as transphobic as you choosing to die on this hill. Your transphobia isn’t just a statement out of context, but a consistent pattern of saying “trans women can’t have a female body because words MUST have ridged definitions.” That position states that the female body is the status of their gonads or chromosomes or something else we can’t see. I don’t know how you would categorize trans women who got rid of their gonads or cis women born without theirs, but it ultimately doesn’t matter.
The fact that you don’t realize that “the male reproductive role” is the most clinical way to describe things imaginable shows how little you know. I don’t want most people to use that terminology because they should just refer to trans women as female, adding trans if it somehow matters for the conversation. Not gonna heed that request? Don’t worry, I’m used to not getting support from people who embrace horseshoe theory.
If you’re gonna cry about “the authoritarian left” every time we ask you not to be a stickler about language, you don’t sit where you think on the left/right spectrum.
