Plain speaking and clear understanding everyone.
Will everyone kindly stop misreading what AlleeCat is saying. This is fucking embarrassing to watch.
Let me see what it is that has caused the issue then. I haven't, actually.
I want to reiterate this. This thread is seriously the equivalent of a bunch of white people trying to talk about black oppression. (Which I'm pretty sure also happened on this very forum.) This thread just needs to stop. You can't talk about gender issues like you know everything about them if you've never experienced them. I would be open to a thread where questions can be asked of trans people, but it's clear that pretty much everyone in this thread is talking out their ass.
I can see the issue here. It does seem an awful lot like you are trying to imply that certain other people's opinion doesn't matter, or rather that they lack the grounds on which to speak. Now, speaking for most people (and please, correct me if you don't agree), people don't like when someone makes that implication, and they've made several arguments against it.
I'm pushing her because it isn't a dialog if the people who aren't the minority can't talk about thier views.
This seems to me a good argument.
This hasn't been a dialog. This has been a bunch of people saying what their opinion on what genders are. There's been a lot of people trying to erase the existence of anyone who isn't the majority, and some have been trying to present their own views as science. AlleeCat, as one in the minority, is really frustrated that there are so many voices so quick to say that she shouldn't exist, that she doesn't exist. I don't really blame her. And then when she voices her opinion, she's given a tone argument for her troubles, and people push at her to make her feel uncomfortable for being angry about the fact that her whole life is being relegated to the garbage heap in so many people's minds.
Also a good argument. One that is not irreconcilable with the previous argument.
I think Vector had a thoughtful response. I'd like to remind everyone not to say whatever they damn well please, which goes for both sides.
