trans rights
The issue we disagree over isn't "trans rights," though. I actually believe in full civil and political rights for people who identify as trans ( and as nonbinary, genderfluid, nullgender, transmasc, transfemme, vapogender and all the other gender identities currently in vogue).
I don't think anyone should be discriminated against in education, housing, employment, voting, healthcare, sports participation or any other areas of public or private life - or subjected to ridicule, abuse, ostracism or any other kind of mistreatment - for having a trans, non-binary or other kind of "gender identity" or for appearing, "presenting," behaving or having love interests, intimate relationships and household arrangements that are different from mainstream norms.
As someone who has personally always rejected, defied and fought against the sexist stereotypes, expectations and restrictions imposed on me because of my female sex - and who's actively marched and campaigned for lesbian and gay rights - I believe very strongly that male people as well as female people should be free not to conform to the sexist stereotypes, expectations, appearance and behavior standards associated with their sex.
What I am not on board with is the particular measures you are promoting in the name of "trans rights" that favor, advantage and privilege male people who've adoped a trans identity over female people - and which require girls and women to forfeit our hard-won rights.
I categorically reject your worldview that bestowing rights on one group means depriving another group of their rights.
Human rights are not a zero sum game.
Everyone deserves human rights. But as landmark international human rights agreements such as the Geneva Accords, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and the Nelson Mandela Principles all make clear, sex and age make a difference to some human rights.
Since you find my views "absurd," why not counter them with reason? All the high-horse harrumphing, finger-wagging, woke scolding, tossing off accusations of bigotry and racism, mansplaining and putting down girls and women who stand up for oursleves that you do is tiresome - and unpersuasive.
Your time and efforts would be much better put to use by simply explaining in clear terms exactly how female sports, spaces and services can be opened up to male people without at least some female people losing out, being endangered, feeling distressed, forfeiting our rights and ending up getting elbowed out, intimidated, punched down on, perved on, preyed on, sexually assaulted, excluded and forced out.
