No.

I used to. I struggled with my concerns and what my gut was telling me for years. I came to the debate sub to try to be convinced that I was wrong for leaning GC, I wanted so badly for a trans person or an ally to make it make sense for me. I felt so guilty for not being able to see transwomen as women or transmen as men. But the more I engaged and the more I educated myself, the more I saw how toxic and misogynistic it was, the more I felt afraid and disgusted and disrespected, the more I heard from trans people, the more I realized how harmful, homophobic, regressive, appropriative and just illogical the trans movement is. Everything is a contradiction, they rely on pseudoscience and emotional blackmail, they silence and threaten those who hold different views, they try to force mass conversion therapy and make people reinforce their ideology instead of respecting a difference of opinion, and they speak for and over people on topics they don’t seem to understand themselves. There’s too much cognitive dissonance, too much misrepresentation, too much of a lot of things. I feel confident that I’m on the right side more and more every day. Bottom line- sex literally cannot be changed in humans, the trans community can’t make anything their claiming make sense, and the rights of one group cannot infringe upon the rights of another.

I also think, cold as it may sound, that trying to rework biology and redefine humans and sex and gender for such a significantly minute percentage of the world’s population is extreme and invasive.
