[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^do you agree that trans people should only be allowed to receive healthcare based on their biological sex or not? If you agree with that and you support providers withholding healthcare from individuals who are trans based on their biological sex, it’s hard to see how you’re pro-trans. You might not be anti-trans but you can’t claim to support trans rights while also being okay with them being denied healthcare. [/quote]

Pp never said anything about denying healthcare.  [/quote]

No one has.  Some angry person on here is seeing so red, they are not reading what people are saying.  They are projecting opinions held by anti-trans people in the general public on to the PPs here that support the arguments of JKR.

They are basically saying if you refuse to say that a trans woman is EXACTLY the same as any other (biologically-born) woman and to allow all trans women into ALL spaces that were traditionally reserved for (biologically born) women, then you are anti-trans.  Which is false.  Even if you would otherwise support protections for trans women, services for trans women, rights for trans women, happily call them by their chosen names and pronouns etc, they don't care.  To them, you must say there are no differences or you are the devil.

Nobody said that.  :roll:

Then I suggest you go back and reread this thread.  PP just summed up exactly what a lot of those trans activists are saying. There is no wiggle room here. You either support 100% or you are anti trans. [/quote]

No. Saying “I support them” but also saying their parents shouldn’t let them transition and that biological sex should be used to determine whether someone receives healthcare or rights isn’t really supporting them. In the words of James Baldwin. “I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.” You cant claim to support when the support only extends to surface things and not the real stuff. [/quote]

Well said. “I support you but not in meaningful ways” 
[/quote]

Once again, “you are not supportive/anti-trans unless you support them in ways I approve of, ways I deem meaningful.”[/quote]

Explain your views to some trans people and then ask if they feel like you support them.
