I’m so tired of this. If you even question whether a man can get pregnant you’re LITERALLY guilty of violence. It’s the playbook.
She must be a wonderful college professor who allows open discussion and freedom of thought. These people have no logical argument so anytime they’re confronted with logic they accuse the other side of violence.
Senator Josh Hawley is “transphobic” and made gender dysphoric individuals vulnerable to abuse because he asked if men could get pregnant, according to one professor.
Professor Khiara Bridges, who teaches law at the University of California Berkeley, made the accusation on Tuesday during a Senate hearing about abortion.
“You’ve referred to ‘people with a capacity for pregnancy,’ would that be women?” the Missouri Republican asked.
“Many women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy, many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy,” Professor Bridges said on Tuesday. “Cis” refers to “cisgender,” which means people “whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth,” according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.
“There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy, as well as non-binary people who are capable of pregnancy,” Bridges said.
Hawley asked if that meant that abortion is not really a women’s rights issue.
“So your view is that the core of this, this right then, is what?” Hawley asked, after Bridges said that abortion “impacts women” but can that it “impacts other groups.”
“I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic and it opens trans people up to violence,” Bridges said.
She then said that “one in five transgender people has attempted suicide” and that asking questions about pregnancy “denies that trans people exists.”

What is sad is that the suicides are probably not from not acknowledging transpeople but instead from the fact that they are not getting the help they need. There is high likelihood that they need some counseling but instead of helping them with their mental disorder, people are affirming them in it. This does not help them and as they descend further into their mental issues, they find no hope which leads them to suicide. In the end it is the “tolerant and accepting” people like this professor who are doing more harm then the line of questions that the senator was doing.

Trans people do not exist but their damaged minds has convinced them that gender is not assigned at birth and can be fluid. I have sympathy for them and compassion but one does not help perpetuate a fantasy that is damaging to an individual and that can never be objective fact. The only proof a person can give of their transgenderism is their word only. Nothing else. Physically if a person is perfectly healthy but their minds do not identify with the sex and gender of their birth then it is their mental state that is unhealthy and in need of remedy. Mutilating the body in order to align it with their fantasy does not make their fantasy any more real. Anyone who supports this illness with false compassion will someday have to answer to it. One does not help an alcoholic by allowing him drink, nor does one help a kleptomaniac by allowing them to steal at will. Nor should we help a mentally ill person live a life that is not true or healthy by affirming their fantasy. I feel sorry for these people and we should be praying for them and trying to help them see that the fantasy they live is not real and help is there should they want it.

How can anyone take seriously a woman who has a ring through her nose like a cow?

Well… maybe she’s identifying as a cow. Are you trans-cowphobic? Cows are people too, amiright?
