💯 this. The quintessential characteristic of being female is that we are the sex that gives birth. It’s like we have all collectively forgotten that sex is a reproductive act. Getting off in other ways isn’t necessarily, but sex is. The very idea that people think they can become the other gender without embodying the reproductive capacity of that other gender is ridiculous and offensive. It’s offensive bc apart from men being physically stronger than us, the difference in power comes from the fact that the sex act embodies us with the blessing and responsibility of child bearing and rearing

This is the tricky part, though, Ctdcb. As soon as you say 'sex is a reproductive act' you are challenging homosexuality, which I'm sure none of us here wants to do. Yet, this is precisely how the Ts get to align themselves with the LGBs, and ... we all know how messed-up that is

The only way humans are made is through a male gamete joining a female gamete and forming a zygote that ONLY an adult female human is able to carry and birth. We can have orgasms and pair bond in infinite creative ways, but the only sex able to birth without any sort of future trans human interventions are females. This fact of reproduction does not challenge homosexuality, heterosexual sex for pleasure alone, or any non reproductive variation of the sex act. That’s the point. It’s the bearing, or the blue print of the capability to bear children, and all the biological characteristics that go along with that, that makes one female. These transwomen want us to not publicly acknowledge any real difference, when the most quintessential difference remains the same. Anybody can get off, anyone can get plastic surgery, anyone can wear whatever clothes they want, anyone can wear makeup, only natal females have the capacity to bear children. That’s it. That and all the physiological and psychological characteristics that go along with that are what makes a woman.

We have had birth control for 60 years so we live in a world where that hasn’t been the most obvious fact in the world, but it is. Women are the bearers of children.

Acknowledging that *reproductive* differences in sex are real is not an assertion that homosexuality or trans identity are morally right or wrong. Homosexuality exists in objective reality. Trans women are not women in objective reality. Trans men are not men in objective reality. The moral question is whether trans people have the right to demand that others acknowledge their personal beliefs as objective reality and make rules and change the meaning of language to acknowledge their personal beliefs as objective reality. Any pharmaceutical or surgical interventions do not change the reproductive realities of the sex binary. There is no challenge to the reality of homosexuality in the assertion that sexual binary exists.
