These 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.
