this is a thing I believe:

if we are going to have gender as a fundamental organizing structure of society, it is ethical to give people exit rights from their gender and allow them to choose another one which suits. this is a basic right of self-determination. 

why people choose to transition is interesting but fundamentally doesn’t matter. if you’re unhappy in your gender, you should be allowed to choose another one, regardless of why you’re unhappy. and if you’re happy in your gender you should be allowed to stay.

It’s true, but you don’t gotta say it.

[euryale-dreams-deactivated20201]

No, seriously. This is important.

Like… think about the social model of disability for a second. You have people who are disabled and, say, need to use a wheelchair to get around but they can’t because everyone insists on building stairs everywhere because the vast majority of people are just fine navigating steps. Except for the people who can’t who are turned into second-class citizens.

Now, if everyone used wheelchairs everything would be ramps and using that chair would no longer be an actual disability because the world would be made in order to accommodate it.

Anyway, people talk a big talk about how this is totally different because wheelchairs are for addressing a physical limitation. Except, it’s not, really, because the human body can’t really tolerate anything cooler than the tropics at night without getting awfully uncomfortable without wearing clothes.

Without clothes human beings wouldn’t be able to inhabit 90% of the places we do but we can because we all wear our little fur prosthetics and live in a culture that accommodates and supports the use of those prosthetics (laundromats, closets, ect…) so we don’t even notice that we have these limitations until we forget to wear our clothes when we leave the house.

… and then we get in trouble real fast.

On a somewhat related note, to all the TERFs flipping their shit at the prospect of trans women receiving uterus transplants:

Get. Fucked.

[aurorevallee-deactivated2020070]

lol 😂 I thought that female biology had nothing to do with being female

why are men desperate enough to larp as women that they would consider undergoing a surgery to have a uterus that wouldn’t even work

[heliosvevo-deactivated20181119]

Why do you even give a fuck?

[aurorevallee-deactivated2020070]

because women’s body parts aren’t something to be bought or sold to validate men’s feelings

plus you’re spreading misinformation

[heliosvevo-deactivated20181119]

Hey, if somebody doesn’t want their uterus, they’re under no obligation to keep it. And if they want to donate it to a trans woman, then that’s their right. No one’s gonna be harvesting your uterus against your will, so you have no say in other peoples’ choices regarding theirs.

And… no I’m not. If you really think medical technology will never, ever be able to advance to the point that someone with a transplanted uterus could have a child… that’s ridiculous. Pretty soon, biotechnology will allow us to do anything with our bodies.
