It's not a "debate" when one side is all TERFs and bigots. Try again though.

Correct, but TC is digging up transphobic randos on twitter to present this as an equal argument

acknowledging that trans people exist is infringing on the bigots' rights to erase trans people from existence.

true.

all those links confirm is that transphobes exist, which everyone was aware of.

I didn't do digging. Someone created an article off those tweets and I just copied them here.

And the article rightfully called them out. It didn't frame it as "a debate." You know what you're doing, shut the fuck up.

I genuinely don't get why some people get so upset about these sort of statements. How does it change anything about their life in any way?

I know why, it just baffles me.

I get the message, but isnt this just incorrect? Youd have to be a woman or transitioned to one, yes?

It's not an offensive statement, but it's really not a statement a company really needs to bother making either. It's one thing if someone is denying a transman's identity by the fact that he has a period and another to try to shift the way we speak just because transmen/non-binary identifying people can have periods.

So... their sex is still woman, yes? Just not gender.

once you're knowingly talking about trans people, the sex/gender distinction is irrelevant and redundant. "trans" already covered it.

yes but also no, apparently.
kinda irritating tbh.

Figured we had a "gender is not sex" shift to separate the two, but now it seems we've gone to "ok they're the same thing in the context of humans (which is socially constructed), but not in terms of other animals", so female is both sex and gender now.

Yeah If Caitlin Jenner transitioned when she was younger would she have been able to have a period?
