I'm not trying to blow you here Flatus, but you write such nice arguments...Humans bodies are either male, female or in rare cases hermaphrodites. This is genetic and anatomical. The birth certificate of a baby will correctly record this.
Our mind, although connected to every part of our physical body, is different. Our mind is ‘ourself’, and that can be whatever the fuck it wants to be. The body doesn’t have to represent the views of the mind, like a professional athlete losing both legs. Social norms and old fashioned gender stereotyping creates the situation where people feel ‘different’, ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ for not fitting in to these norms. Then people who don’t fit in either become depressed and self-harm, or militant and shove their ways in your face (or find sites like GoreGrish where we can be different and enjoy it 😉).
People should be able to just be themselves, except paedos or rapists etc.
In terms of abortion. There are many families and social situations where allowing a pregnancy to progress would create a child destined to lead an awful and traumatic life, and/ or lead to the parents having a terrible life. Therefore, there should be the option of abortion, and it should be the choice of the parents. I’ve had to sign the papers for abortions many times during a gynaecology placement.
The only one I felt uncomfortable about, was a teenager that was being admitted for her 4th termination of the year. She appeared to see it as contraception. I signed it, but politely suggested she consider actual contraception and that it would not be safe to continue like she was.
I agree with all points on a theoretical level.
I will say this though, my 100% 'women's rights to their body to abort when ever for what ever reason' was complicated when I saw my first baby born and held her...
this LGBTQIN+++ madness is mainly contained within the English speaking west. France for example is not at all as far as we are down the madness track of 'trans women real women' thing.The world, as we all fondly remember it, is indeed doomed, and how far will this thinking go?
Russia, China, North Korea, to give them their due, do not run pride week.
So when we all become null and cease to be able to breed, then a brave new world will erupt from our other friends and repopulate the 'well earth'...
