Like "for this reason, we shouldn't consider these people women." Disclosure is required for all people, if you have something to disclose. It doesn't matter what sex or gender you are.

We shouldn't consider them women, because they aren't women.  And we shouldn't redefine the word "woman," because it has a perfectly clear meaning already: a woman is an adult who was born with a vagina.  If a man wants to be called "Caitlyn," that's fine with me.  If he wants to be referred to as "she," that's fine with me.  But male is not female, and black is not white.

Good luck holding on to that definition. Definitions change as we learn new things. As we catalogue and learn new things about gender dysmorphia, we are learning that gender has nothing to do with your reproductive organs, and everything to do with your brain chemistry and pathways. So a woman is an adult person whose brain is wired like a woman, whose brain tells her she is a woman. I'm sorry you don't accept the more refined difference between gender and sex.

That's exactly what I said.

What? Did you even read this? Have you paid attention to anything anyone has said about gender and sex? Why do you keep clinging to this infantile bullshit? It is immediately obvious that you are only reading one or two lines of these posts.

A transgender woman is VERY AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A PENIS. Why do you think just because they are a woman that they aren't aware of or are predisposed to hide their male sex? Are you just entrenched here, and don't want to admit you're wrong?

Seems like Thump is right. I thought you were better than this childish tripe.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
