Someone in the old debate sub on Reddit once told me that the truth is transphobic. And they meant it, no shred of irony.

I mean that's true, the truth is transphobic. We've had 2 sexes, male and female, for about 2 billion years. Female humans have periods, males do not. Sex is not assigned at birth but observed. We cannot surgically create anything close to functional sex organs. Lesbian women by definition do not like males.

The conclusion should be that we need to rethink the trans doctrine, but people are instead taking these facts to mean that we need to rethink facts. Tiring.

I would agree if there were quotes around "transphobic".

My personal favorite is that dogs are transphobic because they treat MTFs as male.

Any more info on that reference to dogs treating MTF's as male? Intriguing and possibly quite amusing.

Well certainly dogs can tell our sex, not our gender identity because it doesn't exist, and it's most likely through smell.

I'm thinking of two particular stories wherein dogs who had nervousness around males did not cease their behavior due to a person being trans. One was an ask reddit about an MTF individual who was upset because their dog didn't accept their new gender identity and see them as a female. It was triggering dysphoria. Another one was a TikTok about an MTF (decent passing) and a woman's dog barked at them on the street. The woman said "oh sorry, he normally only barks at males." Yeah, it's anecdotal shit I found and didn't think to save, sue me.

Through a search I found an MTF claiming that their male dog started humping them after identifying as trans.... errr... ok... so to be fair, supposedly the opposite could be true. I don't think so. But it could be.
