Nor is there a reason to distinguish between cis women and trans women. Which is why a sex spectrum model works best for describing sex, just as a species spectrum model is better at describing evolutionary states over time than imagining species as objectively distinct entities

For healthcare, sports and safeguarding it is important to distinguish between women and transwomen, as they are there grouped with their birth sex and not prefered sex.

No it isn’t. Individualized care should be the standard, not assumptions based off of outmoded binary sex models.

So would you say that there are absolutely no commonalities or general trends in a field like say, midwifery?

They should genuinely consider the idea that some of their patients are male? They should investigate all bodily orifices to see where the baby will come out and not assume the patient is a woman with a cervix that is dilating?

It’s extremely difficult to understand how this line of thinking works.

Also!! Does this mean you think the crime stats that prove males make up the majority of rapists is untrue? Because males don’t exist? Is there any commonality between the people making up the rapist demographic besides being rapists? Like the penises they raped with perhaps?

Seriously, this line of thinking would be so harmful if adopted by lawmakers or the general populace.

Tell that to everyone with male-only medical conditions like hemophilia, SCID, erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer.

Moreover, in medical care, assumptions historically have not been based on "binary sex models." The assumptions have been based on the idea that male humans represent the norm for our species, and that female humans are merely deficient male humans with male parts & hormones missing & "boobs & tubes" added.

Yeah, that's not gonna work.

On one level, the Shinkansen doesn't exist. But Zen monks also know enough not to sit on the tracks in order to prove it.

At least you didn't pretend that they are not autogynaephiles, or that autogynaephiles don't exist. You're not as obtuse as GenderBender, it seems.

No I don’t believe in autogynephilia as it’s usually described, nor do I believe that what is happening solely affects trans women

Back-pedal, back-pedal. Such an unlikely paraphilia, right? All the others definitely exist, just not that one lol. Autogynaephilia is in the DSM-5 – the Trans Bible. What about men who admit to being agp? Do they not exist either?

[–]HeimdeklediROAR 1 insightful - 7 fun1 insightful - 6 fun2 insightful - 7 fun -  (1 child)

There’s no back pedaling?

No all the others don’t objectively exist either.

I believe that if they’re calling themselves AGP then they have a misconception about the nature of their sexuality.

So they misunderstand their own identity or sexuality? They literally don’t understand their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences? But you understand it? What would you say if you had the opportunity to correct their understanding of their sexuality?
