I disagree with your comment in a few ways.

  1. My comment wasn't anti-abortion. I was pointing out that federally subsidizing trans surgeries and hormones can be justified by the same reasoning that the Democratic Party uses to advocate for subsidizing abortion. I didn't imply anything about whether those procedures should be legal.

  2. This isn't a second-wave feminism sub. Feminism is specifically devoted to advancing women's rights. This sub also advocates for the rights of gay men--a group which is as removed from the proper scope of feminism as it's possible to be.

  3. It's wrong to force people to pay for something that they believe to be murder. It's also bad for society. If we want to live in a pluralistic society, then we need to let others live according to their own conscience. Do you believe that coercing people into using certain pronoun conventions is wrong in principle, or only wrong for conventions that you disagree with?

    I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but I don't think that a sub devoted to the relationship between the trans movement and the LGB movement is the appropriate place to discuss the ethics of abortion.
