Hey Chunkee ...

I know it's Penis News, and they've been totally colonized. However, unlike LGB Alliance, this sub does not take the stance that womens rights issues need to be centered as part of our fight.

It's not that we disagree about the importance or impact. It's that we made this sub to be about LGB and sexual orientation specifically.

LGB includes men, but women's rights are overwhelmingly impacted by TQ+. It can and will totally take over and overshadow the rest of our voices if we allow it. It pushes LGB and sexual orientation to the sidelines, and then what's the point of our sub?

I hate to remove this, but I have to. It's better suited for s/GenderCritical or s/ThereAreTwoGenders.

I'll leave the post unlocked though, in case anyone who has the direct link wants to continue to talk among themselves.

I wish non-trans people could remember that they are not defined by their body parts

No one ever said that we're defined by our body parts except you fuckers. Seems like projection to me.

I only believe that my sex is defined by my body parts, because that's literally what sex is. It's not anyone else's fault that you guys conflate your entire personhood with your gender.

EDIT:

If I ticked that I was male, I wouldn’t see questions about women’s healthcare. This meant I had to choose between choosing the wrong gender for myself, or not being able to share that I also need access to cervical screenings

Oh my fucking god. This is literally peak First World Problems. Why would you expect to see questions pertaining to women's healthcare if you ticked "male"? If you're really going to fuck up your own healthcare because you refuse to tick "female" on a questionnaire then you fucking deserve to get cervical cancer. You're a biological female, get the fuck over it and tick "female". Because guess what. Doctors ask about that because it's biological sex that's relevant when screening for health issues. Your "gender identity" literally does not fucking matter. Knowing you're a "they/them non-binary" gives them literally no useful information regarding your physical health.

especially with non binary... if you are going to pretend they aren't talking about you because you are not a women, then thats you being stupid

Until this fact is “established and respected,” the discourse over who does and does not have a cervix simply distracts from “meaning conversation about the challenges trans people face”

Silly me, thinking women’s struggles might matter at all or that a “gay” news publication would highlight gay issues. Everything is about trans people.
