“The conceptual distinction between male and female based on reproductive organization provides the only coherent way to classify the two sexes. Apart from that, all we have are stereotypes.
This shouldn’t be controversial. Sex is understood this way across sexually reproducing species. No one finds it particularly difficult—let alone controversial—to identify male and female members of the bovine species or the canine species. Farmers and breeders rely on this easy distinction for their livelihoods. It’s only recently, and only with respect to the human species, that the very concept of sex has become controversial.”
The only reason it is ‘controversial’ is the face that reality is colliding with male gender feelings, and thus said males are trying to change reality – distorting it through their own gendered lens.
“Modern science shows that our sexual organization begins with our DNA and development in the womb, and that sex differences manifest themselves in many bodily systems and organs, all the way down to the molecular level. In other words, our physical organization for one of two functions in reproduction shapes us organically, from the beginning of life, at every level of our being.
Cosmetic surgery and cross-sex hormones can’t change us into the opposite sex. They can affect appearances. They can stunt or damage some outward expressions of our reproductive organization. But they can’t transform it. They can’t turn us from one sex into the other.
“Scientifically speaking, transgender men are not biological men and transgender women are not biological women. The claims to the contrary are not supported by a scintilla of scientific evidence,” explains Dr. Mayer.
Or, as Princeton philosopher Robert P. George put it, “Changing sexes is a metaphysical impossibility because it is a biological impossibility.”
It is remarkable the gender madness has gotten this far.

I don’t know if you have seen this………

But it’s endlessly fascinating to me that this male doctor basically says that he will call you by whatever special pronouns you want, but he absolutely must know what your biological sex is in order to treat you.
And the comments are full of suddenly rational people saying “of course, we, the trans, will tell you our biological sex so that you can treat us, trans people absolutely know that we have to tell you our biological sex, why are you saying that trans refuse to tell you their biological sex?”
Ladymen have repeatedly told me that there is a whole physical, biological continuum between X and Y, that no one is completely male or completely female. They can’t tell you their biological sex when they are in our locker rooms, taking our scholarships, attempting to force us to touch their dick and balls for waxing, they just insist that they are female. But when a male doctor tells them to tell the fucking truth, suddenly they are all OF COURSE!

Just went and read the article. Seems like another piece of evidence of how patriarchally approved trans-ideology is. Men, and their power to name things are mostly immune to the backlash when they name biological reality. I’m guessing that if that was a female doctor, the tone of the entire article would have been vastly different. :/
The problem for Transactivists is that they really have nothing to argue on, past hurt feelings and intimidating/threatening people (usually women) to silence them and force their views on them. When I encounter them on line, mostly twitter, they cannot produce a consistent nor coherent argument without falling back on the aforementioned.
Here in Canada, Meghan Murphy has been putting their bullshit to the test and speaking in public about women’s rights, boundaries and safety. The TRA’s don’t debate her, but rather, try and deplatform her with. They have failed twice already, once in Toronto and once in Vancouver all the while generating a great deal of interest in the genuine feminist arguments she has.
I hope this signals the turning of the tide.

The fact that males go to their government and say “HEY! We feel like we should be able to invade female only spaces, because we FEEL like it” and the males in government were all “YES, that is totally reasonable! Let’s legislate that!” absolutely proves that not only are we the slave caste, it also shows how males own the language and use it to do exactly what they want.
So while I love Meghan, this trans business is not going to stop if we can just explain to males why it is wrong, or if we can make them understand why it hurts us, or if we can get enough people to agree with us. Males ALREADY KNOW THIS. They just don’t care.
Patriarchal systems exist to do only one thing, and that one thing is to keep women subjugated to male supremacy. When we have bodily autonomy, when we have equal access to resources and opportunities, when we have the ability to say no and to escape male presence, that undermines male authority.
Males are not attempting to be fair. They are exerting their authority by revoking our rights, and they can only do that because they hold them. They are acting with intent and malice. Explaining to them what a woman is, is similar to asking a male not to rape you, or not to beat you. Males know that we don’t want them to beat us, or rape us, just like they know who and what we are. Appealing to males to be kind of fair doesn’t work. It never has.
This is not a mistake or a misunderstanding. And to treat it like it can be fixed if we just explain correctly, or lobby enough, is not only a waste of time, it’s dangerous. This fight was over when men decided that the word, woman, was going to apply to them. Everything since is just a fucking victory lap.
