Transgender can both describe men and women. There are trans men and there are trans women.

Hijra & kathoey are all the same sex, dumbass.

Wait, you only think some hijra & kathoey are transsexuals? Transsexual is a type of gay man, not a type of woman. There is no evidence to the contrary.

White-passing black people who "live as white people" aren't "living as white people" then? If you're gay, but you're "living as straight" are you straight? A woman living as a man is a woman living as a man, not an adult human male. Masculinity & femininity ae constructs, not "man" & "woman".

A regular-ass insult is not a "transphobic slur", since anyone can be a narcissist. Playing dumb makes you look stupid.

You: "I personally don't mind sexist erasure & appropriation of language" – irrelevant.

birth sex

Sex doesn't change. It started before birth & continues after birth & continues even beyond death. So the term "birth sex" is meaningless. What's the difference between a person's sex & their "birth sex"? What's Caitlyn Jenner's sex? Male. What's his "birth sex"? Male. What's the point of the "birth" part?

Being trans is not a subculture.

Het teenagers have made it into one, hence 2% of high-schoolers identifying as trans nowadays. While there don't seem to be any older women doing it.

This is proof that GCs don't believe in dysphoria.

Neither does the icd-11. You don't believe in it either, remember? You don't think being trans is a mental disorder, remember? While the DSM is on the fence about it.

Every study on desistance (not detransition) illustrates that the vast majority desist. Detransition is rare, but not as rare as suicide, the latter we're meant to be taking seriously for some reason, even though the rate isn't even known (since corpses only have a sex, not a preferred sex).

Transsexual can describe both women and men. Trans women who are attracted to men would by definition be straight women, and if they are attracted to other women they are lesbians. Trans men who are attracted to women are straight, and those who are attracted to other men they are gay men.

White-passing black people who "live as white people" aren't "living as white people" then? If you're gay, but you're "living as straight" are you straight? A woman living as a man is a woman living as a man, not an adult human male. Masculinity & femininity ae constructs, not "man" & "woman".

Trans men aren't women, so they would be men living as men not women living as men.

A regular-ass insult is not a "transphobic slur", since anyone can be a narcissist. Playing dumb makes you look stupid.

But GCs misuse the term narcissist for at least 75% of the trans population. Learn the criteria for NPD before throwing around that term.

Birth sex is a more clearer term. Some sex characteristics (not all though) can be altered.

Het teenagers have made it into one, hence 2% of high-schoolers identifying as trans nowadays. While there don't seem to be any older women doing it.

Elliot Page and Buck Angel don't exist then?

Neither does the icd-11.

I don't care about the icd-11.

Your only defence is to be deliberately obtuse. A heterosexual man who identifies as a woman is by definition an autogynaephile. People who call the female ones transsexuals are trying to be inclusive. A transsexual, outside the paraphilia-ridden West, is a gay man.

Women are capable of doing all the same things men are capable of. A woman "living as a man" just means her role has changed to a masculine one. A man isn't a role. A man is an adult human male. Was Michael Jackson white, but "assigned black at birth"?

No, GCs don't misuse the word 'narcissist'. Have you ever listed to one of those male pretend-women? It's like, are you talking to me, or your reflection?

The term "birth sex" fools trans people into thinking there is a chance of changing it. The whole point of being transgender is that your sex & preferred-sex are mismatched. The terms "sex" vs. "preferred-sex" couldn't make it clearer. It's never about being clearer when it comes to trans terms, it's always about undermining sex as much as possible in order to affirm self-identification with a construct as supreme.

Transtrenderism describes a teenage sub-culture fuelled by trans identities, instead of star signs, or whatever. Statistical outliers are insignificant when talking about trends.

The icd-11 > your opinion. Gender dysphoria is an old, out-dated concept that is on its way out, which is why you still believe it's biologically determined, while GC knows that autogynaephiles aren't born that way, otherwise they'd exist outside the West.

Most trans people are not autogynephilic and autoandrophilic, unless you're a die-hard Blanchardian.

A transsexual, outside the paraphilia-ridden West, is a gay man.

It's insulting to call gay men transsexual. Gay men are gay men.

Women are capable of doing all the same things men are capable of.

I never said they weren't.

A woman "living as a man" just means her role has changed to a masculine one.

I like things that are considered stereotypically male (i.e. handy-work). Am I "living as a man" now?

No, GCs don't misuse the word 'narcissist'. Have you ever listed to one of those male pretend-women? It's like, are you talking to me, or your reflection?

I have listened to actual trans women. Do you know what criteria for NPD is? Actual narcissists are very charming, and they use that charm to victimize others. They have a grandiose sense of self-importance and are preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. Someone who just has an awful and selfish personality is not a narcissist. Paolo Macchiarini is an example of a narcissist. He's very charming, can't take criticism, needs attention and admiration, exaggerates his achievements and talents and is arrogant.

Trans isn't a trend because by definition trends don't last long. If transgenderism was a trend, we wouldn't need gender critical.

The majority of male transsexuals are autogynaephiles (in the West). It's not just "Blanchardian", since the term can be found in the trans bible: the DSM-V. So there is a consensus on the typology.

It's insulting to call gay men transsexual. Gay men are gay men.

Homosexuals have a different name in every culture. You view them as women for some reason, which is more than merely insulting to both women & gay men, since any threat to their definitions threaten their rights. "Transsexual" is just the term that groups autogynaephiles & homosexuals with a feminine gender-role preference together.

I like things that are considered stereotypically male (i.e. handy-work). Am I "living as a man" now?

No, you've got to basically try to pass as a man in order to "live as a man". The act of living as a man doesn't turn a woman into a man though. Those women just wanted the freedom to do the kinds of things men could. They are basically in disguise. Identity crisis as a result would probably not be uncommon. Most people go through a mini-identity crisis during puberty & at the mid-life point.

So first narcissist was a "transphobic slur", now it's just misused term. So they are using a term you don't find 100% accurate. And?

Trans isn't a trend because by definition trends don't last long. If transgenderism was a trend, we wouldn't need gender critical.

Transtrenderism is a trend within the demographic that has a weakness for such things: teen girls. This is a trend as it is limited to a particular time & place. Autogynaephiles are limited to a particular place, while the homosexuals who adopt the gender role of the opposite sex are found all over the world & throughout history. That's one of the reasons we know the trans movement has the wrong interpretation.

Personally, I used to think that all these men who self-identified as women were women. But then I started listening to both sides more (more to the trans side). There is no evidence to support the ridiculous "TWAW" claim, but plenty of evidence against it. Figuring out that men who are men by both nature & nurture are men & not women, is not due to hatred. I only "hate" them as much as I hate any other relentlessly, dogmatic sexist homophobe who silences feminist discourse.

A homosexual is someone who is attracted to the same gender. A transsexual, or transgender is someone who identifies with a gender that is different from the one they were assigned at birth. Those are different terms.

Those women just wanted the freedom to do the kinds of things men could. They are basically in disguise.

Trans men are not "women in disguise".

So first narcissist was a "transphobic slur", now it's just misused term. So they are using a term you don't find 100% accurate. And?

Most of the time it is inaccurate.

Transtrenderism is a trend within the demographic that has a weakness for such things: teen girls. This is a trend as it is limited to a particular time & place.

Here are a list trans people from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Eleanor Rykener, Alan L. Hart, Lucy Hicks Anderson, Amelio Robles Ávila, Sir Lady Java, Willmer ‘Little Ax” Broadnax, Chevalier d’Eon, Harry Allen, Michael Dillon and Charley Parkhurst.

Even today, people continue to transition as adults. Elliot Page is in his 30s and recently came out. Buck Angel is in his 50s and still identifies as a man. Luke Anderson, the Big Brother winner was born in South Africa, is 40 and a trans man.

Nope

Yep: https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS%20Full%20Report%20-%20FINAL%201.6.17.pdf

The DSM-V is not a trans bible.

It's where your belief in gender dysphoria stems from.

A transsexual, or transgender is someone who identifies with a gender that is different from the one they were assigned at birth.

A homosexual is someone who is attracted to the same sex. So now it was their gender that was "assigned at birth", no longer their sex? Or are sex & gender the same thing now? "A transgender"? "Transgender" is an adjective. I've never seen such hypocritical pedantry.

Trans men are not "women in disguise".

Then we agree that they never used to exist until very recently.

Most of the time it is inaccurate.

Cry me a river.

Transing dead people is not the least bit convincing. It's called SELF-identification for a reason. You're breaking your own rules by making presumptions about them.

I know you're obsessed with erasing sexual orientation, but Elliot Page, Buck Angel & Luke Anderson are all homosexuals. How many times have I told you that the transtrenders are the het girl demographic? You know, the demographic covered by Lisa Littman's studies & Abigail Shrier's book. Why didn't you name Demi Lovato? Oh right, I was forgetting the gender police always ironically discriminate against non-binary people.

Your own link doesn't mention autogynephilia or autoandrophilia.

It's where your belief in gender dysphoria stems from.

I would believe in gender dysphoria even without the DSM.

A homosexual is soneone who is attracted to people of mainly the same sex characteristics as their own.

Then we agree that they never used to exist until very recently.

I keep pointing out trans men in history yet you still claim trans men only existed recently.

Transing dead people is not the least bit convincing. It's called SELF-identification for a reason. You're breaking your own rules by making presumptions about them.

All the trans people I listed self-identified as trans.

I know you're obsessed with erasing sexual orientation, but Elliot Page, Buck Angel & Luke Anderson are all homosexuals.

Nope. They're straight.

When you keep being presented with proof to the contrary, you still claim transgenders are mostly the het teenage girl demographic of the 21st century. Yes, Demi Lovato also identifies as non-binary and she's 28.

An autogynaephile is a non-homosexual transsexual. The link has a section on sexual orientation distribution. The homosexual ones are in the minority, thereby proving that the majority are autogynaephiles. I should have realised you'd need that explained to you. You probably haven't got a clue about the typology.

I would believe in gender dysphoria even without the DSM.

Without the DSM the term & concept of "gender dysphoria" wouldn't exist. Are you saying you would have invented it?

A homosexual is soneone who is attracted to people of mainly the same sex characteristics as their own.

You literally just made that up. You have unresolved issues regarding homosexuality. You need to look into that.

All the trans people I listed self-identified as trans.

Really? When? I didn't see any evidence of that. How do you know they weren't stealth homosexuals? It's not far-fetched seeing as homosexuality was illegal at that time.

Nope. They're straight.

Nope. They're lesbians, homophobe.

Transtrenders are specifically the het girls. Homosexuals who go through conversion therapy via transition aren't "proof to the contrary".

The homosexual ones are in the minority, thereby proving that the majority are autogynaephiles. I should have realised you'd need that explained to you. You probably haven't got a clue about the typology.

An autogynephile is a man who sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. The majority of trans women, even trans lesbians, are not autogynephiles.

Without the DSM the term & concept of "gender dysphoria" wouldn't exist. Are you saying you would have invented it?

You clearly don't believe in gender dysphoria, so.

You literally just made that up. You have unresolved issues regarding homosexuality. You need to look into that.

I think you do. I have friends and acquaintances who are homosexual and bisexual. All of them support the trans community. One girl I went to high school with is a lesbian, and she wrote on FB she won't vote for Trump because he's a racist, homophobe and transphobe and said "transgenders can’t be in a lot of fucking places" which was part of the comment. I think you're the one that has issues regarding homosexuality, because the homosexual people I know are supportive of trans people.

Really? When? I didn't see any evidence of that. How do you know they weren't stealth homosexuals? It's not far-fetched seeing as homosexuality was illegal at that time.

Yes, homosexuality was illegal at the time, but 1. That does not mean transgender people did not exist 2. Many gays and lesbians did not transition at the time. In a retirement home in Brooklyn, there was an inaugural exhibition featuring 12 LGBT seniors, where they described what's it like living in a time when being themselves were illegal. None of them are trans.

Nope. They're lesbians, homophobe.

Transtrenders are specifically the het girls. Homosexuals who go through conversion therapy via transition aren't "proof to the contrary".

Cis lesbians don't change their names to male ones, take T to appear male, request people use he/him pronouns for them or pursue sex reassignment surgery. Only trans people do those things.
