  1. If women's and men's bathrooms are so dangerous, maybe it's time to advocate for third spaces...

  2. True, the more you deviate from social norms, the more likely you will be discriminated. However, you don't need to identify as trans to be GNC, which was my point. As I said I've been questioned for not being feminine enough and I'm not that GNC. Saying that women aren't judged for their appearance and how they adhere to sex roles is just untrue.

  3. That is not how surnames work in Spanish. Married women may be refered by their husband surname, but they do keep their surname too. I don't know if this is a good analogy, anyway. At least I don't know why would a woman find offensive being asked her maiden name, but that may be because I find the costume of changing last names odd.

  4. "Cis" privilege is nonsense. If you think there is no difference between "trans women" and women, you're effectively saying women are not oppressed because of our sex, i.e. that we are privileged for the fact of being born female. So tell me, are things like menstrual huts, sex selelective abortions and female genital mutilation a sign of "cis" privilege? Why do you think a woman may be denied an abortion? Because of her feminity (or lack of it)? Really? If a man tried to rape me, whould you think he would care how I identify as? How do you explain "trans women", and not "trans men" are the ones leading the trans movement? How do you explain that "trans men" mainly make the news by getting pregnant? And what can you tell me about what I said about my country? Abortion was legalized after self-ID, is that "cis" privilege, too? What do you think of this case that happened here before the legalization? A 11 years old girl from the north of the country was raped and got pregnant. The Church and local authorities delayed the possibility of an abortion and finally forced her to give birth by C-section. Mind you, this was in spite the abortion should have been legally allowed on the basis that the pregnacy both (a) endagered the girl's health/life, and (b) was the result of a rape. Is this a sign of "cis" privilege, too? Do you think this girl could have avoid this nightmare if she have identified as "trans boy"? Do you think a "trans girl" could have gone through the same?

  5. And how did it go if I can ask?

  6. Should an underweight anorexic patient be told they're in fact obese and given a liposuction, too?

  7. If it is not a medical condition, why must "gender affirming treatment" be covered up by the public and private health systems? Why are such "treatments" described as "life-saving"? Why do TRA say that not providing such "treatments" leads to suicide? You cannot have it both ways.

  8. Supposing they are convicted at all...
