[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else read it? It’s certainly well-thought out. She essentially says she’s spent 3 years studying the concept of trans identity and while she supports it -

[b]a) she doesn’t think the rights of women who sexually identify as female should be diminished, 
[/b]
b) young adults (under 18) should not be allowed gender reassignment surgery and even adults need to have more rigorous standards for completion since its irreversible,  and

c) trans being a identity more than a sexuality is subject to groupthink which is why it’s exploded in culture recently.

To me, this is the equivalent of All Lives Matter.  By promoting awareness of and requesting protection for trans women, no one is saying that cis women are worth any less.[/quote]

To me it is actually trans people doing that to women's rights, not vice versa. I am VERY pro LGBTQ and fully fully believe in their ability to live freely. But I do not want have women's rights and Trans rights under the same umbrella. Gay rights didn't want to be under the same umbrella as women's rights because they are different things. By trying to combine women's rights and trans rights (which, again, both are worthy causes deserving of public support) you are, by definition, obfuscating many women's rights that derive specifically from female anatomy (ie, abortion rights).[/quote]
