1) Why are you GC or QT?

Uh, I am not sure how to answer that? Because I think that biological sex exists and it' s more important than a feeling in the 0, 6% of the population when it comes to defining what womanhood is, I guess.

2) Were you ever on the opposite side? (Ex. Went from GC to QT or QT to GC?)

I was never a hardcore supporter of QT, but I used to believe that playing along was the ebst thing to do.

3) How do you define "man" and "woman"?

Adult human male and adult human female.

4) Transwoman are...Transmen are...

Men who want to be considered women and women who want to be considered men.

5) What are your thoughts on the term "cis", "natal" and "biological"?

Cis is an incorrect term that is often used as an insult: I don' t particularly care about the insult, but I can' t stand the hypocrisy of the community that uses it, which keeps complaining about how everyone should respect the labels people choose for themselves and then call people "cis" even when they are told not to do it. On top of that, it' s incorrect, given that it usually means "identifies with the gender associated with your sex". Gender is a set of sex based roles and stereotypes, identifying with it means being ok with the stereotypes women get thrown at since birth, and most of us don' t do it.

Natal is often used to imply that you can kind of change your sex, as in you are natal x, but can become something else, which is ridicoulous.

Biological is redundant and implies that there is a way to be a woman that doesn' t rely on biology, which I disagree with. It' s still the preferred term among those three for me.

6) Do you believe transmen can play in sports with biological men and vice-versa---can transwomen play in sports with biological women?

No.

7) What is considered misgendering?

Using labels and pronouns that a person doesn' t want to be used to describe them. With trans people, those labels and pronouns describe their biological sex.

8) Gender is...and sex is...

Gender is a set of sex-based steretoypes and roles and social constructs associated with both sexes and more often than not shoved down our throats since birth. Sex is the reproductive category people are born in.

9) Do you know people in real life that are QT if you're GC or that are GC if you're QT? Are they friends or family?

I know people who are supporters in the same way I was a while ago, which means that they superficially think it' s not a big deal. I don' t know anyone who is a hardcore activist.

10) How do people normally treat you based in your views?

Most people I know in real life agree with me, the ones who don' t are not so deep in the ideology that we can' t get along.

11) Are transmedicalist GC, QT, or neither?

Neither.

12) What is one thing you wish the other side knew about your position?

They know about my position, most of them prefer distorting it or ignoring it for their own benefits.

1) What is your sexual orientation?

Heterosexual.

2) Are you a transman/transwoman or a biological man/woman?

Biological woman.

3) What region are you from?(North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa)

Europe.

4) Feel free to share your background story here of how you became GC or QT.

I asked questions about sexed brains and wondered why when men say men and women have different brains they are considered sexist assholes by the same people who call it science and the right side of history when it' s said by men who call themselves women. I was called a TERF for that (even though at the time I wanted TRAs to convince me that they were right) and since I didn' t know what a TERF was I looked into it and found the GC and radfem community.
