@realcaseyrollins Is this a knock against trans people?
🔵
@hrisskar What makes you think it's a knock on trans people?
@realcaseyrollins Sounds like you're mocking them to me, especially your sarcastic "magic trick" & "I thought that was all I had to do to change my chromosomes" remarks. 💢
@hrisskar I'm not mocking trans people, I'm mocking the culture at large for deluding themselves when they should know better.
I'm pretty sure that you see that I'm right, else you would probably be arguing on the merits of my point.
@realcaseyrollins You present neither a merit nor a point, therefore there is nothing for me to do but roll my eyes at your #transphobia and walk away, shaking my head.

Is your pint here that people who transition from men to women through hormone, surgical or other steps do not deserve the respect of being called by their gender and should be instead called by their sex at birth?
What is your point here exactly?
Wait, how are you able to pick what pronouns to use then since you cant tell what chromosomes they have?
You don,t you dont need to, thats the point. No one has ever asked to inspect someones genitals or their DNA in order to decide what pronoun to use. Because thats not how we have ever picked pronouns. We pick pronouns by if someone presents male or female.
Why would how they are born matter, you literally dont know how anyone else was born when you pick their pronouns, so why should knowing in an individuals case all of a sudden change what language you use if not for the purpose of bigotry
Yes but it doesnt determine what GENDER they are are, only their sex. We are talking about pronouns and gender not sex.. So it isnt a lie and its rather obvious they dont mean it in the way you are distorting it to mean, especially since that has never been how language was used.
@freemo @hrisskar How can you tell if someone is trans?
