Absolutely! Personally, I have no beef with any individual trans person but only with the cult like group think and erasure of women pushed by some TRAs.

Exactly. As someone with dysphoria who aspires to be a woman, I don't get how this cult of people can say they're feminist and women while in the same breathe tell Real Women to shut up. It's confusing.

I think in the current climate it takes a lot of intellectual integrity to state that you aspire to be a woman.

I was and still am happy to admit trans women as "honorary members" to the club as long as I'm not stripped of the possibility to gatekeep certain spaces. I also have no problems addressing the "honorary members" with female pronouns (unlike other members of GC) just as I would address anybody not blatantly abusive/fraudulent with their new chosen name after e.g. changing religious affiliations or after an adoption as an adult.

I think social/medical transition can be a (very) imperfect solution for some individuals suffering from severe dysphoria that is otherwise treatment resistant. I would not wish that on anybody and would hope that this would no longer arise in a society free of gender sterotypes.

Then go away. We got kicked out for sticking to reality and here you are, trying to slip in and tear it down from the inside.
