Equal treatment is the exact same thing trans people are asking for. To not be treated different as a woman, in the womans bathroom. To not be treated different as a man, in the mens bathroom. Trans people have been doing this for decades without asking. Its just that now its more okay to be trans and not 100% passable and be treated more normally.

The more weird idea is that a trans man belongs more in the womens restroom than they do in the mens.

please tell me you want any of these guys pissing alongside your wife, more than you want them pissing in the same bathroom as you.


A sex change operation does not change your sex. To put it simply, they are asking for society to join in their delusion. We should treat them with compassion, but that's all.

So from your perspective, the people in those photos are women, not men.
I find it hard to see them as the delusional ones in that scenario.

Wrong wrong wrong

They are asking for the exact same treatment.

Nobody asks to inspect your genitals when you use the restroom.


Is anybody asking trans people to do that? Afaik, the "conservative" position is that people use the bathroom that corresponds to their biological sex, period. The whole crux of transgenderism is that there is a disconnect between self-identification and biological reality.

If I called you "Mrs" at work even after you protest ten times I will get a harassment claim against me.


I would settle it without harassment claims. Either by deciding that you're a disrespectful clown that I'll ignore, or by robust persuasion.

Dumbass, it's them wanting the system to treat them the same way you are treated, it's not special treatment to be left alone.


Yeah, and many cisgender people want to be left alone and not have to refer to others with words like "zhe" or "xir".

When gays wanted to get married they were also called out for asking for special treatment. Go back and fucking look because the way you are framing this argument is absolutely maddening.


Ok, I didnt follow the debate about gay marriage that closely back then. If this argument was really made, then it was utter bullshit. But like I said: just because a lot of the arguments from the debate about gay rights were bullshit does not mean that arguments against certain demands of trans activists are equally ridiculous and baseless.

I don't open links.

We can do impressive things with medical science, but no, having an operation does not change one from a biological female to male. That is the literal reality of the situation.

No one is trying to change from biological female to biological male ???

Also, the links are just photos of completely passing trans men from some modeling shoot.

Its almost a given certainty that human life, unless snuffed out prematurely, will continue to lurch left. We can just vaguely gesture at all of human history for this. There is infinitely more evidence for this as the most likely outcome, than against it.


Ancient Rome was more liberal in a lot of ways than what followed over the next 1500 years.

Then they aren't women. Trying to change the definition of the word in a vain attempt to "correct" a mistake at birth is sad.

As an aside, the intolerance with which the trans community operates is completely unacceptable. They attack the very people who are most likely to become their allies. Can you imagine if the gay community had done the same?

and if I'm your boss and I insist on calling you a girl? If I call you "XistenZ the GIRL" every day even if you protest, every time i refer to you? I find it hard to believe you'd put up with that forever and it wouldn't have a negative effect on your health or performance.

The arguments you are making now are utter bullshit, and they are bullshit for the exact same reason. The reason I'm frustrated right now is because I had this EXACT. SAME. CONVERSATION. for nearly 10 years except it was about gay people. Now you're unironically making the same shit arguments as though they're new and logical and in 15 years you won't be saying how silly the anti trans people were.

They used the same arguments about black people as well.

Yeah, its fucking ridiculous that every time conservatives repeat the same argument and expect to be taken seriously because "no its actually different this time guys"
