Women don’t need to take estrogen to appear as women. Clearly if they have to take something to attempt to alter themselves into looking like women, they were not women who got the prescriptions for estrogen.

Some women do need to take estrogen to appear as women. Some men need to take testosterone to appear as men.

Nope. Language policing will not work for you. Men who take estrogen are men. Women who take testosterone are women. You will not make that language change by being deliberately obtuse or by refusing to engage with questions and latching on to this.

Except we already changed the language. When Elliot Page came out as trans, his Wikipedia article was edited to replace the pronouns with he/him pronouns. Most mainstream social media sites do not welcome gender critical views.

All those changes are happening from top to bottom and without any input from the general public. Yes, mainstream media and Big Tech are completely on board with "inclusive" language and "gender identity", but that doesn't mean that most people are fine with this. Just compare all the Media praising Hubbar "historical" debut at the Olympics and the reaction from the public seeing a man competing as a "woman".

How do you know this is happening without any input from the public? We elect our politicians. We choose what products to buy.

The language was not changed, it’s been coerced. The language is functionally useless. You cannot and will not force anyone here to obey you.

This is a ridiculous way to avoid answering things you don’t want to. Engage in reasonably good faith for once.

How do you coerce a language change? In order for language to change, most of the public has to agree to it. And we did.

How about you engage in good faith and answer the question put to you instead of further diverting?

What makes you think you, personally, are the voice of the public? Do you truly believe that a section of the American public are representative of the world in opinion and values?

Most ameticans interviewed for a queer studies piece.

Again, please answer my questions instead of trying to take this back to your language policing.
