Why are you prefixing bigotry with "fashionable"? Seems like a shibboleth. The only "fashionable" bigotry I can think of right now is anti-trans bigotry, but I don't see how that links to the rest of your statement.

- jamathon 3y agoThese type of statements are considered "anti-trans": > people with obvious mental problems akin to anorexia > allow people to invade opposite gender areas such as toilets or sport or any number of other arenas of life > when people ignore reality At least, that's what I've been told when I express similar concerns.

- jamathon 3y agoI agree, I see "anti-trans" and accusations of being "transphobic" typically used as a silencing tactic, to stymie and derail discussion. But these issues really do need to be discussed, as there is real-world harm arising from these medical interventions, and from the non-consensual redrawing of the boundaries around single-sex spaces. I think you're spot on with your comparison to attitudes towards FGM, it really does highlight the double standard.
