Ok but the thing is for your argument with adoptive and blood related parents. You said that those issues come up within legal/medical procedures. You never mentioned outside of those things though. Just those two things.

So wouldn't the same thing go for trans-people? The only time their being trans should come up is in those situations (or throwing in personal relationships too), right?

But you said in the other topic:

I respect them as human beings, but I don't buy into the propaganda that "sex with a trans woman is straight sex," or that I should be punished in legal ways for 'misgendering or deadnaming' somebody who transitions.

It's one of the most bizarre aspects of Current Year; this strange zeitgeist of "you are anything you claim to be," where not even genetics or objectively measurable criterion are enough to dissuade somebody from calling me a bigot for speaking things that are objectively true.

And this is where I get confused. You are upset if people call you a bigot for "speaking things that are objectively true" correct? But if you go around telling adopted families "You aren't blood related" and just keep reminding them, you'd be called out for it, fair? Even though you are correct in their being no blood relation.

Does that make sense? I'm kind of word-vomiting after a long day of work. >_>
