The most vociferous "anti-trans" people tend to be left-leaning feminists, in my experience.

The article is clearly about political and legislative anti-trans machinations though, not TERFs at dinner parties or whatever. In that context it’s the right that is the issue.

The organized TERF movement and the far-right trans eliminationist movement are one and the same.

For example, the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), which brands itself as a left-wing group, has been working with the people pushing bills: https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1634287701896712207...

Tarring an entire group of humans, one that has been attested in history for thousands of years, as pretenders, is beyond incurious. It is cruel.

We're talking in the comments of a (flagged) post by a young trans woman. The bile you are posting is a demonstration of your low, low character.

It is not just a random coincidence. It's a phenomenon more broadly across programming, especially very low-level/hardware stuff.

There does seem to be a correlation between autism spectrum and gender confusion, with the former often present in individuals who are into highly technical pursuits. The logic seems to be not conforming to masculine stereotypes ==> must be a woman .

It's not "gender confusion". They know very well who they are. You are confused about the topic.

I think that you are both right on different levels and possibly talking past each other. Yes, on the level of franchise, it is good that everyone is involved. Its bad, on the other hand, that the form of the debate in this concrete instance has been directed to trying to make decisions on specific medical procedures as electoral politics issues. Belief in democratic franchise does not imply belief that all democrati…

I do believe that the details should be left to people who have some understanding (preferably not because they're in the pockets of those their decisions affect). It's why I support the idea of a regulatory state, despite some concerns about non-legislative bodies making rules with the force of law. But that didn't seem to be what my interlocutor was talking about. > There's no reason whatsoever why random people li…

Unfortunately on this topic, institutions that could typically have been trusted regarding the details, have largely been captured by ideologists and by the medical industry, the latter of whom are eagerly seeking to create new revenue streams - manufacturing a lifelong patient from childhood onwards does this rather effectively, especially when the 'illness' is iatrogenic and malleable via cultural norms.
