(I’m just trying to learn. No hidden mockery in this and this is no gotcha bs aimed at t women. I’m NOT transphobic. Just saw this in a debate and wanted to know other people’s thoughts)
I just want to know:
- Is this factually correct?
- If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
- How would you logically respond to this?
- How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women
It really wasn’t directed towards you specifically. If I was standing around at work and this was asked then this is how I would respond. Which has happened. There is an obsession with this topic that has empowered the dumbest element in my society (American) to take power in my society. Due to those elements (conservatives) I have lost my job (my current pays 1/4 of what I was making), livelihood, and now face an economic collapse. I absolutely don’t blame trans people for this, but recognize that their existence has led to my life becoming worse due to exploitation. Personally I just call people whatever pronoun out of politeness. They deserve equal rights under the law, but unfortunately the law doesn’t mean much these days.
Mine and people like me (the poor) opinion ultimately does not matter, so I don’t understand why the question keeps being asked. Would it change anything?
Damn, wth are you going through?
I used to make six figures designing and developing applications for the Federal Government. Trump won. I got laid off and everyone hiring has said I got replaced by AI. After almost a year without finding work I now shop online orders at my local grocery store. I got rejected for food stamps and my mortgage has gone up. I’m the son of a junkie and I don’t have a romantic partner so I don’t have access to a lot of family support.
