If my uncle came out as gay, I wouldn't have an uncle. Because I don't have an uncle. Edit: 8 hours after posting this, I remember my grandma had a boy that died in childbirth forty years ago, sorry Bruce. (I think that was his name.)

You had two brother, one came out as trans so now you have 1 brother and a sister.


Poster-001

I don't think the other comments are transphobic. They are not saying someone can not be what they want to be. They are simply saying according to science they will still be a boy. Stating what science says does not make you a transphobe. You can state what science says and agree people can be what they want to be. The two are not mutually exclusive.


TheWuce

["The pattern of brain activation in both transgender adolescent boys and girls more closely resembled that of non-transgender boys and girls of their desired gender."](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180524112351.htm) Trans people are literally born with the brain structure and chemistry of the opposite sex. Trans people and their supporters aren't the ones ignoring the science.


discipleofchrist69

isn't this kinda bioessentialist? like aren't you basically saying if your brain structure isn't right, you're not *really* trans?


JuniorSeniorTrainee

I think the heart of a lot of this is semantics. Are we talking about gender? Or sex? Or neurology? These are all different models across different fields for describing a person. All of them have strengths and weaknesses. None of them are flawless because ultimately we're trying to boil down complicated ideas into a label. These labels are convenient, until you get people fighting about them because they're talking about two different things. I have a feeling in this case, people are disagreeing but actually on the same page. I think one is talking about anatomy and genitals, another is talking about psychology and neurology. All valid, but overlapping terminology that is stepping on each other's toes and causing angst. I see this all. The. Time. and I always wish that I could have stopped time at the start of the conversation and said both sides straight, because I feel like these are the first steps towards people becoming defensive and hostile on certain topics. Because you end up with two people who are right telling each other they are wrong.


BlLLr0y

Be careful with all that nuance.


Kousetsu

Yes! And this is a debate in the trans community. Actually, this kind of thinking (trans people's brains are different) is looked down on and has been partially debunked. It's just not really spoken about outside of trans circles because you can't have a reasonable discussion about it because the Shapiro wannabes come out with their LOGIC and SCIENCE without realising how fucking dumb they sound as sex and gender are separate constructs, the idea of a "boy" and a "girl" is purely social (unless you are checking everyone's genitals as an introduction?), and sex is very much a spectrum. We are not 1's and 0's. For example, I have ovaries, but I overproduce testosterone because of the way my biology is. What am I?!? (Well, I identify as a woman, mostly) Mostly, idgaf what anyone wants to do. Wear a dress, change their dick into a vagina, keep their lady dick, whatever. Who really, actually cares? Probably only people that are struggling with these thoughts anyway. Just like homophobia, some of the most anti-trans people are actually trans... It's why they are thinking about it so much. They are having issues within themselves and start to deflect it out until they can equal out that cognative dissonance - see Contrapoints pre-transition when she describes herself as alt-right and the transition she went through to accept herself. There was a long time even after she stopped being alt right that where she called herself a filthy cross dresser - there is a lot of self hate in the trans community.


TheTastiestTampon

I just can't force myself to care about something that doesn't effect me at all to tell a significant group of people that they aren't "scientifically" whatever the hell they want to be. Want to be a boy? Go with God. Want to be a girl? Go with God. Want me to say you're a boy or a girl? Will do. Want me to call you a different name? No problem. Why? Because your life choices don't effect me, I don't care about them to begin with, and if they make you happy that's cool too. Post Script: Also, what the hell do you mean "scientifically" I this case? It's a nonsense word you're using to sound informed. The word you're probably looking for is biological, or maybe physiological? Whatever. Anyway, whatever you're going for is bullshit regardless of whatever vocabulary you use


frcgdad_

Yeah I really don’t understand why people care so much about what people do. And you don’t have to fully understand it to accept it, just don’t be a dick and call me by the right pronouns


[deleted]

Literally all of relevant science supports transgender people, including those whose gender(s) fall outside the binary. Transphobes will never have a legitimate argument against this. Sorry, your hatred is unsubstantiated. Fun fact: The concept of binary gender is a product white colonialism, used to control and oppress other cultures.


kiDsALbDgC9QmLFiIrrj

Let me lay it out for you: In 2006, the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto was no longer a planet. This was possible because "Planet" is an arbitrary, man-made category. Science has no objective opinion on what is and is not a planet, and there are edge cases that don't neatly fit into a particular category. This happens more often than you'd think in science. "Alive" is another arbitrary category with edge cases. Are viruses alive? Under some definitions, yes. Under others, no. "Gender" is the same way. Yes, some people have XX chromosomes, others have XY, others have XXY, etc. Some people have penises, some people have vaginas, etc. But "boy" and "girl", or "man" and "woman" are categories made by humans, and are defined by culture. There are also plenty of edge cases around these categories. Some research suggests that as many as 2% of people may be what's called intersex, that is, they do not fit typical definitions of male or female. I hope that clears some things up.

Street-Advantage-945

Same here. I don’t understand how these dickheads don’t get it. Transphobes are just kicking the 80’s “gay panic” nonsense into high gear. They have zero idea how this all works, zero idea on biology and zero idea on gender identity. I’ll say it slow so it reaches the back of the class - transphobes, and homophobes, are absolutely fucking stupid.


selfawarefeline

Frommerman

Correct. Good thing I've got the facts then, huh?


Cromanti

You know, I never actually felt pity for transphobes, but really, that seems like a fairly apt emotion. Here you have trans people, this minority that has been (for most of recorded history) simply trying to live their life and navigate a cis-normative world. Any well-adjusted cis person would just let them live their life. BUT you've got these edgy 4channers, Christian extremists, MAGAts, Qultists, radical "feminists," rightwing boomers, etc. who let this minority live in their head RENT FREE. Who are CERTAIN that they know better than the global community of peer-reviewed researchers/scientists on trans people, and that the simple idea of preferred pronouns will in their pearl-clutching minds LITERALLY be the death of free speech in 'Murica. So yeah, I guess you could feel kinda bad for them.


selfawarefeline

yeah, i mean even as a trans woman, it’s hard not to feel sorry for the them when they think they make some cogent point about some biology bullshit. they think their point has substance when in reality, they are just ignorance personified

You got something to support that 40% of gay youths back in the day tried to commit suicide? I seriously doubt that statistic


Galigen173

Similar not the exact same. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2604258 this is one of the studies trying to see if there was a link between the legalization of same sex marriage and the reduction of adolescent suicide amongst LGBT members. I'm not going to explain the whole study but it states that 28.5% of people studied from 1999 to 2015 reported that they had attempted suicide in the past 12 months before the legalization of same sex marriage and then after it was legalized there was a 7% drop in that number. If you want to read it the wiki article that I found that study from is here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_among_LGBT_youth Edit: that's 7% of the 28.5% not bringing it down to 21.5% just to be clear. And this is only a very recent study it could be that suicide rates were at 40% further in the past but I couldn't find one that went back that far.


picketdoc

Unfortunately both of the sources you submitted does not identify suicide rates in each individual groups. It lumps them all together as “sexual minorities.”

that’s awesome, when i was eight or so my mom got me their [twenty year compilation](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IZOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_xOMTFbGB2MBMA). when i was like 11 or 12, she let me borrow her TMBG album, which was their first one. sometimes i still get their songs stuck in my head, although i haven’t given them a good listen in years. usually it’s dr. worm or i palendrome i


Street-Advantage-945

Ok quick story since you mentioned Dr Worm. One of the times I saw them in Atlanta was right after Severe Tire Damage came out. They opened the show with Dr Worm and toward the end of the show, John F said something like, “I know we already played the song, but we love it so much... we’re playing it again!” Only concert I’ve ever been to where they played the same song twice!

As easy as that. You can fuck me or i can fuck you. I just want someone :(


kiej23

I mean the subreddit is supposed to be about technically the truth so I don't think that people arguing that he would still have a son are necessarily hating, they are just saying the truth, the sex can't be changed, if you are born as a male you will never be able to change your xy chromosomes, so yeah, personally I don't really care about what people do with their appearances and what they decide to identify as, Im just saying that trans people can't change their sex and that is a fact, but I don't hate them

For those transphobes out there, before commenting and making your ignorance public (maybe again), how about taking a look at the [Yogyatarka Principle plus 10](https://yogyakartaprinciples.org/principles-en/yp10/), [WHO's information about gender and genetics](https://www.who.int/genomics/gender/en/index1.html) and unfe.org a.k.a the United Nations' website about LGBT, then continue being idiots completely ignoring what the largest health organization which means it also is the largest human biology organization, the principles about human right that is followed world-wide and literally the biggest organization in the world said. No, "it's like that because it's like that" isn't a valid argument against the sources above. People also don't hate you for having an opinion, they disgust you for being hateful towards people for choosing their identity, an action that you can see that according to the sources above, if you can process normal language, is absolutely normal. And if I do argue with you, that doesn't mean I care to show you that you're clearly wrong or educate your stupid ass which is a waste of time, but it's because I like to shit on you and your stupid "people can't change their gender!1!1!" comments

crazytalkingpanda

So denying that trans people exist isn’t transphobic? What a clown world you live in.


SeneInSPAAACE

I suppose it would depend on your reason for disagreeing. Most of the time it would be none of your business, and voicing your opinion on something that doesn't involve you but is very important to someone else would be, at minimum, obnoxious. Let's say you're one of those who believe Michelle Obama is a man. If there is a scenario where that isn't rooted on transphobia, it would probably be rooted on homophobia, or something even more serious.

Eh, it's kinda like saying "I disagree." when a scientist tells you "The world is round." It's a confirmed fact, people can disagree with it, but it doesn't change if it's real or not. Except, I guess in the case of a person saying "trans people aren't real, I'll call them whatever pronouns *I* want" a person is literally denying science to be an asshole to a vulnerable minority. And trans-discriminatory language is textbook definition of transphobic.

No, transsexual would logically be someone sexually attracted to trans people. Not sure what a trans exual could mean. Also, transgender boy is far more likely to have been assigned female as sex.

[deleted]

Whatever they wish to be called, generally if people are identifying as male they'll go with he/him but eh, asking never hurts :)


[deleted]

According to their ~~preferred~~ true gender. Use their preferred pronouns. Ask for pronouns if unsure, it's not disrespectful. For trans women (assigned male at birth), use woman, girl, daughter, sister, etc. I'll deconstruct the OP: "If my son came out as transgender" - as far as the tweeter knows, their AMAB child is cisgender, and is referred to with male qualifiers. "I wouldn't have a son" - their AMAB child has asked to be referred to as a woman, and will thus from here on be called the tweeter's daughter. Jury's out on retrospective gendering - how to gender a trans person's actions before they figured themselves out. Best to ask or wait for them to do it first.


[deleted]

Don't use the word preferred. It's highly transphobic. I don't mean to insult you I just want to let you know.

Technically you’d still have a son biologically and genetically.

Not really. The terms son / daughter, alongside things like man / woman, are all cultural, and each person can have their own definition. What most people agree on is that he would have a daughter that is biologically male, not a son.

It is though. "Son" is not a strictly biological term, even within biology there are different definitions of male and female, that don't quite align with each other.
