[Transphobia Warning] Nutomic’s Stance on Transgender People

Maybe we can examine issues on their own merits rather than trying to squeeze every round peg into the class struggle square hole?

"biological male" is if anything bad description of reality. A trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a couple of years is biologically closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. And even more so if they've had surgeries. But usually people who use that term don't care and lump everyone who was assigned male at birth into that category.

I could attribute this term to ignorance because it sounds reasonable, but it's far too often used to exclude trans women from spaces that other women belong

seems like all the comments are gone!
perhaps people misconstrued it as bourgeoisie being based for transphobia, not the trans itself?

The “men in women’s sports” thing is just straight up transphobic, sexist misinformation.

Eh, yes and no

The subject is still debated, and there's no clear scientific consensus, even though the lemmy community will make you believe so

You are taking what they said out of context

This entire train of conversation seems bizarre to me. While I don't know the intention, the topic is being promoted by companies. Fervently. And having to embezzle "biological" from the sentence doesn't leave a good feel, either.

This feels more like an ideological war than an factual war.

Don't also forget the ending as well. The whole FUCKING thing is transphobic

The "intentions" everyone seemed to be reading into the post. Outsiders can only take the statement on face value.
