I genuinely believe I could see eye-to-eye with contemporary TRAs if they could JUST acknowledge that trans people are their biological sex, and that that has certain implications. Social, physiological, and otherwise.

I refuse to entertain the notion that trans women are biologically female and therefore wholly indistinguishable from a “cis” woman.

I’m not a fan of her, but Amy Coney Barrett was criticized by the HRC for referring to a trans woman as a “physiological male.” For stating a fucking fact! We can’t even say that trans women have male bodies? But then they’ll claim they don’t deny that sex is real. Utter bullshit.

Guess what. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, trans women won’t be impacted one bit.

Last September, HRC announced that it was shifting its focus to transgenders. Ha, ha, ha - who are they trying to kid? - HRC's focus has been on transgenders, not gays and lesbians, for years.

What worries me about the Supreme Court is that the justices seem to want to try to not seem behind the times, like with the recent Bostock case - some of the conservative judges bent over backwards IMO to accommodate the trans insanity. So that Amy Coney Barrett will only go as far as "physiological male" and not say "biological male" worries me.

I also read that Ginsburg would have probably ruled in favor of gender in the upcoming cases, as would the other female liberal judges. I'm guessing the justices are surrounded by young, Queer Theory-influenced clerks, who misrepresent the sex vs gender argument, as Trans Maidens tend to do.

imo, this is going even further though, since TRAs will argue that their trans-identification is innately biological. There is no refutation for "physiological" (i.e. "your body is male, period"), which also pigeonholes them by secondary sex characteristics.
