For much of the trans movement, medical intervention to make your body resemble the bodies of the other sex are considered "medically necessary gender affirming care." So clearly, most of us agree that gender is linked to one's biological sex, and not just an inner sense of identity. - ThreadSky

And that's where the trans movement breaks down for me. Gender was created to say something cultural about the sexes and that is a fascinating dialogue that still continues. The trannies would like gender to mean something different, specifically, their inner sense of gender identity.

But they also want gender to continue to be connected to one's biological sex, or at least the appearance thereof. It's a contradiction and I think the trans movement, especially in light of Trump's election, needs to re-think what they're asking from the rest of us. Okay, that's enough.

Thank you for your candid response, and for not getting defensive. It is much appreciated. I agree that this format makes communication about complex issues very difficult, but you managed to pack in a lot. And I have lots of questions, but I’ll stick to just one.

What are trans people asking of the rest of us that is too much for you?
