When someone has to grovel and sell out his friends to preserve "respect" among the Wokish, he proves that there's no point in anyone trying to earn it
If they ever do figure out a way to allow transgender women to have babies, I would be at that point willing to accept them fully as women. I'm happy to accommodate anyone's pronoun preferences, but find the sports implications of letting non XX people compete in the XY category unacceptable.
As someone who was profoundly affected by my pregnancies (6, 3 live births), I primarily identify womanhood with reproductive "stuff." I think it is the same for women who cannot get pregnant; since unlike a transgender woman who cannot get pregnant, they are effectively sterile. One of the things I dislike about the transgender movement is defining man vs woman in terms of hairstyles, clothing choice, nail polish, and so on. Those things are transient; after all, men used to wear dresses (though they called them something else). But the whole reproductive thing has had a life-altering affect on all women from the get-go, including those who are infertile. And though that effect has been lessened by modernity (we're less likely to die in childbirth, for example), it still has an incredible impact on most XY people.
I blocked Patton Oswalt on twitter because I don’t want to hear anything from a disloyal POS like him. I am also jealous he was friends with Dave Chappelle and threw it away like that!
