"You can be trans and not transition. Moreover, you can be trans and not want to transition. " good so you are in agreement with some of the most prominent thinkers on this issue as an example: " it is hypocritical for any self-identified feminist to use “biology” and “body parts” arguments in their attempts to dismiss trans women"
in effect transwomen are women no matter what once they identify as a woman
so, therefore, if I was a man with a 10 inch penis, full beard, 6 foot 3, buff from hitting the gym all the time, this means that I become a woman in your view if I simply say I feel like one inside are you in agreement with that or have I strawmanned you? |
Look, I said what I said. I'm not trying to get into a debate on the subject. As a trans individual I just felt the need to clarify things, especially for you.
I will say that it isn't something you can just simply say "oh, I'm a women now" it takes years of coming to terms with it and even longer coming out and if you choose to transition even longer. It's not a simple thing, it isn't a trend, it's who you are. If this hypothetical person you created existed and if she is a transwoman, she would've gone through at least half of what I've said and then it would mean she's always been a transwoman, she's just now coming out. But if she just continues on living as a man until her death though then she never was trans. Coming out as trans means you can be your authentic self, if she was already her authentic self as a man she never was trans. There are "manly" men that are trans and come out and live as trans individuals. It has nothing to do with penis size btw you can be a man without a penis and you can be a man with an average penis, that doesn't define "manhood." Idk why you're focused on the penis???
