That' s not what you said. You said that trans men are not female.

Socially they are not. They are men.

If you acknowledge that not all sex characteristics can be changed, then you should understand that those characteristics that can' t be changed and come from female biology are what we focus on when we say we include trans natal females in our activism and why they are female.

That's like a feminist using albeist slurs and then claiming to include disabled people. I am learning disabled.

Great, then they can stay as far away as they want. We are not forcing them to join us, and we are not forcing them to use whatever right radical feminism fights for.

They do with GC feeling sorry for them and calling them handmaidens.

It' s called "I like men who present as men and don' t like men who present as women".

Which is heterosexuality.

Heterosexuality means being attracted to the opposite sex. Being attracted to both sexes is bisexuality.

So people are actually attracted to uterus and prostates and chromosomes and not bodies?

No. Liking someone' s gender presentation is not sexual orientation, it' s a preference. And most people care more about the body of the person who "presents" as one gender or the other than the presentation. That means that a straight man might mistake another man for a woman if he passes well enough and could find him attractive, but the second he learns that the guy in question still has a penis, he' s going to stop being attracted and interested. Unless he' s bisexual.

It is a sexual orientation. By the way I said I am not attracted to vaginas so if he has a vagina I will not date him but am willing to do sexual things with him that don't involve his vagina.

Then you shouldn' t have have used the word "female". I don' t share the idiocy that woman and man are terms that refer to social presentation, but you didn' t use those, you used "female".

You are so full of it it' s ridicoulous.

That's like a feminist using albeist slurs and then claiming to include disabled people. I am learning disabled.

Cool, then those horribly mistreated "men" should stay away from us and should stop, voluntarily, benefit from anything radical feminists and GCers have ever gained for women. That will show us!!!!

They do with GC feeling sorry for them and calling them handmaidens.

They can and should keep doing it . We won' t stop saying that lots of them are transitioning for internalized misogyny or because some of them are handmaiden.

Which is heterosexuality.

No, it' s bisexuality.

Bodies are female or male according to their sex. If you get body mods to pretend that you are a member of the other sex, then you might confuse someone if you pass very well. The second a straight man finds out that the "woman" he finds hot has a dick or used to have a dick, however, it' s done.

It is a sexual orientation.

No.

By the way I said I am not attracted to vaginas so if he has a vagina I will not date him but am willing to do sexual things with him that don't involve his vagina.

Still bisexuality.

I said female, not assigned female at birth.

They did a long time ago. BTW, not all radfems are GC. GC is a branch of radical feminism.

Then your feminism doesn't include trans men, instead it actively promotes bigotry against trans men.

No, it' s bisexuality.

Most people disagree with you.

I know many straight men who wouldn't do that.

You are laughably ignorant and really quite boring. Goodbye.

And? I have no idea what you are getting at with this. You said female instead of AFAB, so what? The word "female" still has a meaning, and trans men are female. They don' t change sex through transition, presentation or identification.

They did a long time ago.

Then I have no clue why people like you are whining about how we are not inclusive enough to make them happy: they don' t want to be included, but you are whining about it?

You are entitled to your opinion.

Most people disagree with you.

Good for them: I think they are wrong.

I know many straight men who wouldn't do that.

Those men aren' t straight.

The word female has multiple meanings though. A person can be socially female even if they aren't biologically female.

Society already has established the definition of heterosexuality. Main stream society considers womens attraction to trans men straight.

Those men aren' t straight.

If they weren't straight they would be attracted to men (including all male presenting people), but they aren't.

So it' s as meaningless as woman, got it.

I am not playing that game with "woman", I definitely am not going to play that game with "female".

Then your feminism doesn't include trans men.

You are entitled to think that. I am not going to stop saying that it does just because you whine about it. Get over it.

Society hasn' t established anything given that whenever I talk about this issue, everyone outside of your ridicoulous woke circles understands immediately what I am talking about and I have to actually explain your position, not mine.

Even if you were right, are you saying that mainstream society is always right and nobody should deviate from that? Because I am not sure you are aware, but every single social movement that gained rights for a discriminated category had to fight mainstream society. Maybe they should have accepted that mainstream society saw women as walking uteruses, black people as slaves and LGBs as deviant subhumans. If mainstream society has established that, then it must be right!!!!

If they weren't straight they would be attracted to men (including all male presenting people), but they aren't.

Nope.

You can say biological female, natal female and AFAB. Though it's not like sexist men have x ray vision to use if you have a prostate or a uterus.

Most people do understand my position and I have to explain yours. Most people are aware of trans people and believe transitioning makes you the opposite gender.

In your examples people were being discriminated against. No one is being opposed when a woman attracted to men (cis or trans) says she's heterosexual.

No thanks. As I said, I don't play that game. Why don' t you say "socially female" instead? SInce you claim that the word has more than one meaning, you should be the one clearing up what meaning you are using.

Most people do understand my position and I have to explain yours. Most people are aware of trans people and believe transitioning makes you the opposite gender.

Most people in your circles definitely share your opinions. Most people in the real World do not.

And I am not saying they should stop doing it. I am just saying that I do not call women (as in females, meaning people of the female sex, not your ridicoulous definition) attracted to other females straight. Deal with it.

Most people consider trans women female and trans men male.

Not according to this study.

About half (51%) of men support requiring transgender individuals to use bathrooms corresponding to their assigned sex at birth, compared to four in ten (40%) women.

And I am not saying they should stop doing it. I am just saying that I do not call women (as in females, meaning people of the female sex, not your ridicoulous definition) attracted to other females straight. Deal with it.

So people are attracted to prostates, vas deferens and Y chromosomes?

Nope. And even if they did I couldn' t give a lesser damn. I don' t follow the masses just because they say they are right, I happen to have a mind of my own. I have no clue why "everybody does it" seems like a reasonable thing to say to justify your position.

Not according to this study.

Supporting that doesn' t mean they actually believe that they are the sex they identify as. Furthermore, studies based on opinions are not objective. I too answered a similar question in a study and said that trans people should use the bathroom they prefer: this was when I was ok with playing along with their crap, and even then I didn' t believe that TWAW.

Also, America is the entirety of the World? I will be happy to report that in the medical clinic I work at, which isn' t in America, today I had a conversation on the line of "it' s the woman who carries the baby" and no doctor, nurse or technician there dreamt to say "no, some men do it and some women give their very feminine sperm to create the child".

Plus, according to this study only the 49% of people interviewed considered themselves allies, while the rest are either opposed or have issues with certain situations. In particular, it says that young people are the most uncomfortable with LGBT, which means that they are going to grow up keeping that attitude, and the study says that support keeps dropping.

So people are attracted to prostates, vas deferens and Y chromosomes?

I already answered this question and I won' t repeat myself.

You are wasting my time and I suspect you are the same poster in the old sub who thought that trans men should go to men' s prisons. You are way too far gone to discuss with.

Think whatever you want, I won' t pretend that trans men are men and I won' t respect their stupid identity. I will keep saying that they are included in my feminism like any other woman is, even the ones who have opinions that go against feminism (and for some reasons, they don' t require for me to support them to feel included, nor they require cheerleaders like you to defend them), I will keep using words like "woman" and "female" to describe biology and not stereotypes and social roles (which means that I will keep referring to trans men as women and females). So far, nobody has had issues in understanding me except you and people like you, which means that the only problem I will have in my life is when I have the misfortune of dealing with individuals such as yourself in this sub.

And one of the reasons I will keep doing it is that I don' t want to sound so completely detached from reality as people like you: people like you are the reason why I peaked and loathe trans ideology.

Have a good day.
