The blatant silencing of opinions & criticisms of the 'T' is downright scary.

"The body doesn't just have one place where we can sit there with a microscope and say hey this is who you are."

Yet they'll screech at the top of their lungs that you can discern someone's gender identity or biological sex based on a brain scan.

And then when you suggest all trans people should go for brain scans to be "diagnosed" before being able to change their IDs they'll go "ohhh, no, that's too much work, we already go through so much" because deep down they know it's BS

Exactly. Or they'll say you're 'gatekeeping'. They'll compare it to gay conversion therapy and say 'gay people don't need to be diagnosed! trans is the same way! #bornthisway bigot!'

Then they'll go back and cry in their little hidey holes like r/arethecisok, r/eggirl, r/lgballt, r/traaaaaaaaaaaaaans, r/AL and go 'Hey I'm a 78yo MTF trans-age 16yo trans girl named Mercedes and I had a run in with a T--F today. She said I can't be sure im female brained unless I get it checked. WHAT IF I GET IT CHECKED AND MY BRAIN ISN'T FEMALE?? -sad catgirl noises-' only to have all the comments siding with OP and giving 'headpats'.

There's no winning with them. Point out their inconsistencies and they make YOU feel like the crazy one.

Gay men don't need expensive surgeries, so whether we're all born this way or not, there's still a big difference

I've literally suggested that they should go for an MRI to prove intersex brain development to one scientifically literature one before.

He panicked. He knows as well as I do the hetero transwomen have normally developed male brains, and that would effectively bar any straight guy from gaining a legal transition to female.

That's about 85% of them.

TRAs don't want to be formally diagnosed with anything unless they can walk away from it as soon as it stops being convenient.
