A "transman" is a she and a "transwoman" is a he. People on Murphy's side of this question think we should all lie and affirm their false claims at every turn, even if they are children and even if they are invading girls and women's spaces.
They should be treated just the same as anyone else. They should obviously not be murdered, but they should also not be given special privileges. They should be expected to respect boundaries and to not impose their false beliefs on others.
A transman isn’t lying. He saying I’m a transman. If you call him “a she,” that’s your prerogative, but it doesn’t mean the transman is lying. And transgender people don’t want special privileges. Just like black people don’t want special privileges. They want to same privileges as everyone else. When societal constructs or businesses or people keep them from having the same privileges, then they want laws to protect them from having the same privileges as everyone else diminished. Can you name a special privilege that a trans person wants? One that’s beyond the same privileges that you and I share?
A transman calling herself a "he" may not be lying, but she is definitely saying something that is untrue. The rest of us would be lying if we were to knowingly misgender her by using male pronouns in reference to her. Obviously getting insurance to cover cosmetic surgery that is medically unnecessary and that does nothing to treat the underlying psychological condition is a "special privilege". Putting men who falsely claim to be women on women's sports teams is also a special privilege. These are privileges that no sane society would permit.
They want the privilege to be perceived and treated as the opposite sex when they are not the opposite sex. They want the privilege to impersonate the opposite sex out in society which in practice creates chaos, discomfort, and unfairness to others. And harm. To themselves and to others. Impersonating the opposite sex used to be a crime and for good reason. Human society runs on shared reality. We must trust that what we see is authentic. Transmen have been badly beaten because others assumed that they were men. Transmen have nearly died in ERs because the docs did not realize at first that they were actually female. Transmen in their desire to live authentic gay male lives are engaging in cruising and are getting STDs like AIDs, herpes and syphilis. More than one transman has been involved in shooting up schools, killing innocent people. A 23 year old transman had a stroke from SRS complications and now has "locked in syndrome". She is aware and can only move her eyes. That's it. That's all she has for the rest of her life. Other transmen end up incontinent. In wheelchairs. They also end up needing hysterectomies which makes them at risk for dementia later. That rises to being almost guaranteed if their ovaries are removed too. Trans people are mentally ill people who are destroying their lives and their bodies for a placebo effect. (That often wears off after a few years.) And they are disrupting society in the process. Should society just stand aside and say "Ok, if that's what you want."? We can't. Not in good conscience. And their lives impact our lives. It's unsustainable. And one way or another we all pay for their impersonating the opposite sex and/or indulging in their self destruction. Emotionally and financially. The trans trend is a mental health crisis that promises to be a medical scandal very soon.
Beautifully put. And the medical scandal has already started, it's just being ignored by the captured lefty and centrist media.
There are currently 7 lawsuits (that I know of) in the US by people transitioned as minors against their doctors who recklessly diagnosed and treated them without proper assessment; one of those suits is against the American Academy of Pediatrics as well, for their endorsement of blockers and hormones for kids without a strong evidence base.
Ken, I really appreciate your logical perspective. And you use the word 'privileges' instead of the over-worn 'rights'-- putting the concept of citizenship in the right light.
Obviously you are personally involved--even though you don't use a lot of emotional words-- maybe as a parent, or a friend, or as a transperson yourself. Thanks for giving us (me) your point of view....
