2nd sentence: "When we are born, doctors assign us a gender based on our external genitalia."
My God do they really think doctors are actually assigning a baby's IDENTITY at birth instead of recording their SEX? I know the answer is yes, but it's so dumb I can hardly believe it. +
Also, my sources tell me that the UK only legally recognizes a person's stated gender identity IF they first obtain a "gender recognition certificate", which requires a long and difficult process to obtain -- including "living as" that gender for 2 years, medical diagnosis... +
I didn't say trans women are a threat, I said, and have always said that men are a threat. I have also consistently said that it's easy to claim an identity if you don't have to do anything to prove it.
Say-so alone is the issue, not being trans.
As I've always said. +
I don't think that's quite accurate. As I understand it, the push is to make it easier to do, but still requiring a process -- like the process for changing your legal name. The "real-life test" is gender-policing and needs to go. +
I recently tried explaining that I wasn’t "assigned" female at birth, I am female and was correctly recorded as such by the doctor upon my birth. I was told I was practicing “self-hatred” by not essentially saying the doctor was wrong. Wtf have things come to? +
Is this satire? Make your best case below.

Okay. Thank you for clarifying.
Now:
1. Where's the evidence that these folks just had to claim female identity one time, and were immediately granted legal status as such?
2. Why is {stolen womanhood} the problem, and not {allowing violent and nonviolent offenders to mix}? +
One example -- or even a list of examples -- of violent, abusive trans women does not constitute supporting evidence for the claim that trans women are a threat.
We need statistics. +
PART ONE--Defining Sex
ScienceVet's premise is that sex is not binary (either/or), but rather a spectrum comprised of variation in anatomy and physiology.
He's correct that there is indeed a spectrum of anatomy and physiology, but does this make a spectrum of sex? +
ScienceVet's thread on the sex spectrum is one of the most shared pieces on the subject.
Let's break it down and analyze the details of his argument with peer-reviewed science.

Because... there's some confusion.

She is female in a male-format body. +
That's what all the fighting is about. There's a big push to change this to say-so alone. Hell, no.
Meanwhile, all resistance to this is being characterised as a roll-back of existing rights. They're lying. We want to keep things as they are. +
The doctor never wrote "man", the doctor wrote male. This was accurate, no matter how I may wish it wasn't.
My sex wasn't assigned, it was simply observed.
If the doctor was wrong, why would I have developed a MALE body? Why would I need hormones? Why even transition? +
They say it's easier to do so but rely on say-so alone. Without some indicator that the person is actually trans and not just faking it to gain access to women-only services it's a safeguarding nightmare that has already happened. There are many more examples if you want them. +
This is the problem. Indulging it is not a solution. +
This!
A trans woman on twitter insisted that she was a female just like me & just needed hormons & surgeries to fix herself. I then pointed out, if she were a female, she wouldn't be a trans woman.
Of course she called me a hateful, transphobic bigot with 'outdated' views
😐 +
You're assuming that femaleness is something other than biological. [[Tweet/1283462168478973952|2020-07-15 @zaelefty]]
It's not. Were that true, we could identify out of sex-based oppression, pay gaps, and things like that. +
