[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely believe transgender individuals deserve equal treatment under the law free from discrimination and hate.  However, I have some issues with this movement and [b]I think people are afraid to speak out for fear of being called transphobic.[/b]  For example, biological males should not be competing against girls.  This is just common sense and you can easily find studies showing the differences between male and female bodies.  Hormones only change so much.  Denying biological reality and saying transwomen are really women. I have no problem if an individual wants to identify as a woman but they are not a biological women. In the UK they are trying to use the words "cervix bearers" and "menstruators" instead of woman. I read the other day they want to replace the term "breastfeeding" with "chestfeeding".  Lesbians have been accused of being transphobic if they don't want to date a transwoman with a "ladydick".  Children should not be making lifelong decisions regarding transition including puberty blockers, mastectomies, and hormones causing irreversible changes.  I have no problems if an adult with gender dysphoria wants to transition but children do not have mental capacity to be making a huge decision like that. Women fought hard for their own spaces and we deserve to feel safe.  And yes women in prison have been raped by transgender women.  And if a transgender women rapes a women they are recorded as a female perpetrator.[/quote]

This is absolutely the case. 
In a hearing this past week, Rand Paul was questioning Rachel Levine about her belief that children should be allowed to take puberty blockers and have transition surgery.  She is, after all, the nominee for the assistant secretary of health.  She also happens to be transgender.  
After the questioning, Patty Murray apologized to Dr. Levine and said that they should not focus on "ideological" differences but on qualifications and policy differences.  This IS a policy difference.  If confirmed, in her role, she will have influence on health policies.  Naturally, Rand Paul was crucified by the left for asking a pertinent question.  The interaction between Paul and Levine is here:
