Moderation of trans issue and terms

If this is the pinnacle of your examples of 'transphobia' on boards, well I think you should take your own advice and get back to your bank holiday as you've mentioned numerous times.

I've already been very clear about what I think, but I'll say it again.

Anyone can feel/believe that they are the opposite of what they were born as. That's their right, their decision.

However feeling/saying something doesn't automatically make it so, and in this case there's the undeniable facts of biology and individual history to consider.

I don't really care what someone believes (whether it's identity, religion or whatever) so long as those beliefs don't cross into a false sense of entitlement or idea that just because they feel/believe something, it therefore is - especially given that the aforementioned facts don't support it - or that other people should validate their beliefs/feelings or modify their own value structure to accommodate it, or that they should meekly accept the false equivalence tactics employed by ideologues if they fundamentally don't agree with it.

If those others CHOOSE to do so however then fair enough as that too is an individual choice/decision.

A woman.

Trans men are not men (hint, the clue is in the name) so the point is 100% accurate, men cannot give birth. Trans men can however.

There's no way Peggie can't win. The hospital violated their own procedures by suspending her without undergoing all the steps which would be required under their disciplinary procedures. I believe the HR in the hospital warned against it prior to her suspension but were ignored. Thus even if the allegations against her were correct she would have a case against NHS Fife for not suspending her without proper investigation. The allegations against her regarding patient care themselves seem to be fairly suspect, they are not corrobarated by anyone and were not raised by Dr Upton until after she made it known she was not comfortable changing in the same facility as Dr Upton. As regards to her discomfort about changing in the same facility as Dr Upton, the Supreme Court ruling in Scotland undoubtedly shows that the hospital misinterpreted the law by not allowing a single sex changing facility, so again her grievance should have been taken upheld by the hospital. I'm absolutely astonished at this stage that they have not moved to settle.

I'm sorry but that would definitely be transphobic from what I've read in this thread. Saying men cannot give birth contradicts the statement that trans men can give birth, as TRANSMEN ARE MEN. How dare you deny their existence?

Some people have trouble believing the concept altogether. They "have a feeling" they're in the wrong body. Trans people with dementia forget they've transitioned and are known to get stressed when they realise they had surgeries.

Surely the educated generation will wonder is it all rubbish?

nonsense though isn't it? men giving birth, women with prostate cancer.

trans men are trans men. trans women are trans women. men are men. women are women.

And here in lies the nub at the heart of it. TRAs expect people to swallow that a person can simply say they are now the opposite gender and everyone is supposed to accept.

A man can never become a woman.

A woman can never become a man.

They can have surgeries, change clothes, take hormones and present however they want but on a physiological level they are the same gender they were on the day they were conceived.

Simply put, you cannot logic or reason with this level of make believe any more than you could question the existence of God with a dyed in the wool religious fanatic.
