Intersex children isn't a "red herring" at all, they fall under the trans umbrella.
They're given a binary gender identity at birth, based on genital configuration. If their genitals aren't "standard" innie-or-outie, they are often encouraged to pick an option, and have surgical intervention and potential followup care to raise the child in the parents' "chosen" binary gender, purely because of what's in their pants.
Quelle surprise, this often becomes an issue when puberty comes around, and intersex kids find however they've been altered / raised to be, doesn't necessarily match up with themselves. It's VERY relevant.
The fact that you don't want to talk about them -- or seemingly trans men or non-binary trans people, since you're only focussing on trans women -- shows you're not being reasonable or intelligent about this.
- engineer_22 4y agoPlease don't say I'm not being intelligent. That hurts my feelings. :( Like all relationships, a discussion has boundaries. If the parties do not agree on the boundaries, the relationship cannot continue.
- 0ct4via 4y agoFunny, the personal attacks and deleted comments seem to suggest you don't care about anyone else's feelings... and being demonstrably unintelligent is your choice. If you're hurt, you've been given more than enough material with which to educate yourself. Unsure which "boundaries" you're talking about when it's a public forum and you're still making personal attacks and jibes where you can... if you're going to be dishonest, at least don't be hypocritical at the same time.
