I'm probably gonna lose a few followers, but I'm due another wave...so...

'Assigned' male/female at birth, clinging onto the idea that trans women are female makes me cringe the fuck out.

One day gender identity may well be considered alongside sexual characteristics, chromosomes, gametes, whatever..as an updated way of thinking of sex

I agree it probably is more relevant than many other things.

But we are not there yet, and it's crank behaviour, and cheap.

More to the point, it's an absolutely open goal for anti-trans cranks to misrepresent our position

And makes us sound stupid to the wider public.

It's not my argument, and never has been, so don't come at me expecting me to play this game, better that you unfollow me now.
