Biological sex is real. What is a transexual moving from and towards if biological sex is not real?
Sex is a spectrum, it's not a binary. Not even just talking about intersexed people here. There was a study I saw that talked about situations where someone isn't diagnoised the 'normal' types of intersex but they found that a ton of people (talking double digit percentages) were catagorizable along "male 1", "male 2" "female 2" and "female 1" kind of spectrum based on certain biological make ups. I'm having trouble finding that but the two below show even without that extra layer there is a spectrum of sex:
Sex redefined
Visualizing Sex as a Spectrum
Likewise, gender is a spectrum. Some of those charts address situations where someone intersex people might identify with a gender corresponding, in our culture, with a sex they were or weren't assigned at birth as as well.
There is also nonbinary people... it's not like the only genders are male and female. Some cultures have third genders and some have 4 or 5 too. Whatever the 'experience' is of being not 'female' or 'male', as any culture would understand it, has always existed. You can kind examples of gender diverse people all throughout history.
I think it's sad that so many young people feel they have to take puberty blockers for future sex reassignment surgeries because they happen to be gender non-conforming.
Do you mean transgender? Don't confuse "gender non-conforming" or "gender expansive" with being transgender please. Gender non-conforming/expansive people are not (at least not necessarily) transgender. Many gender nonconforming people are also cis gendered. There aren't cis people being pressured into taking puberty blockers who would do that given how much psychological discomfort that would cause?
Those are serious medications that have long lasting and developing halting effects.
Hell ya I wish I got puberty blockers when I was 13 wishing I was a girl, but no one would do that when I was a kid.
There's also the fact that it's used by some homophobic parents to change their sex instead of their sexuality, to conform to the idea of what a woman and man is in their minds.
Ya that sounds like some TERF propaganda to me.
Can someone show me this "massive hate" that these "TERFs" have been a part of on par with
this.
Well, I mean, r/gendercritical got banned off of reddit for being hateful or abusive, along with thousands of others. There's tons of sites I've seen I won't link but you gotta be living under a rock if you can't see transphobia everywhere.
Trans men are men, full stop. Trans women are women, full stop. Nonbinary people are nonbinary and valid, full stop. Transgender is beautiful, it's resilience, it's being authentic to yourself.
Hormones for hormone replacement therapy needs to be easier to access in other parts of the country too. We need to make it free, actually we need universal healthcare, and strong anti-discrimination policies protecting transgender people and giving them better access to healthcare and other services, particularly trans people of color.
