    I still can’t wrap my head around the TERF racist piece of shit logic around this whole issue. This person, a cis woman, born a girl, with female genitalia, but who grows up to have apparently a “masculine” phenotype (whatever the hell that means) and a high testosterone count is a man?

    So that means that outward presentation and hormonal levels are more defining of gender than a person’s genitalia and gender assigned at birth? So an AFAB person can be a man, then? By that same logic, then, surely AMAB people can also be women, no? If not, then why?

    I’m a cis man, but I have hormonal issues, a pituitary tumor that causes me to have very low testosterone levels, which might be more in line with what would be expected of a woman my age. I have a beard, low voice, wide shoulders and above-average muscle mass due to my exercise routine. I identify as a man and I look like a man. But, since my testosterone is lower than an average man’s… am I actually a woman, then?

    Also, I saw some people talking about her having XY chromosomes (which also seems to be unsourced nonsense), which makes her biologically a man, apparently. There’s documented cases of women with predominant XY chromosomes being fertile and having children, so is the XY karyotype indicative of being a man? In that case, is it possible then for men to get pregnant?

    TERFs can’t resist being incredibly wrong about pretty much everything, and now that they’re being confronted with their precious definitions of sex and gender being a spectrum rather than a binary, they’re throwing a hissy fit and undermining even their own fucked up logic. What in the name of everloving fuck is wrong with these goddamn weirdos?

      I think transphobes have gotten high on their own supply of transvestigations. That caused them to immediately declare this woman trans. When they got caught by people explaining she’s cis, they are incapable of backtracking so they feel they have to double down.

        Transphobes saying that a biological woman, who was born a woman, is not actually a woman

        You’d think they would be smart enough to see where their desired line of inquiry and persecution will go when it’s literally right in front of them

        Then again, they are transphobes

      There is no ideological consistency. Sartre quote. They change the parameters based on who they need to oppress to uphold cisnormativity.
