    My sister’s take has been that since trans women don’t go through the pain of menstruation or giving birth, they have no right to suggest they “earned” being a woman.

    I mean that and she thinks Disney became woke and they ruined her beloved 90s films. I remember talking about Putin and how he said the most Bond villain thing with “you in the west believe history is a struggle between oppression and freedom, I see it as a struggle between chaos and order”. Her take is history is a struggle between modesty and debauchery and we’ve gone too far in the debauchery direction.

    I love her, and she can surprise me with her humor, but overall she can turn into Angela from the office, but she’s not even religious.

      What a bullshit pov since many people born as women don’t have children or menstruate, see this link

      Some intersex people don’t menstruate, what are intersex people? They can choose to express gender identity as they see fit. Therefore, it’s not black/white about “menstruate = woman”

      Fascists always prattle about “degenerates.”

        Also, ‘debauchery’, in this case just means more people are happier being themselves, and loving who they want to love, more than almost anytime in history.

        These kind of people ignore all the regular kind of debauchery, like priests committing sexual abuse against children.

      I doubt women willingly “earned” their womanhood going through all that, and whose to say I’d rather not deal with periods and stuff over literally not being able to be myself in my own skin? Making friends is so difficult when half my mind is recognizing that they’re gonna see the stubble no matter what I do and form opinions and assumptions on that alone.
