This argument is a poison-pill. Be careful about falling too heavily into evidence-based arguments, when the evidence can change. Plus, the article continues to erroneously conflate sex and gender. One word is for biology, which is why scientists sex animals and don't gender them. Another word is for sociology, which is why tables are female in Spain but masculine in Germany. Ignoring the medical needs and making fun of the medical difficulties of intersex folk isn't cool either.
People don't understand the point and power of "gender is a social construct". It literally is, and there's nothing wrong with that - social constructs like language are real and directly effect us. Turns out just because humans created it, doesn't mean we are immune from its effects!
"Transgenderism is bad because it's bad for your body" is an argument built on quicksand, because you have no guarantee it will always be true. Plus, when you attack hormone therapy and celebrate its weaknesses you are celebrating dangers in the lives of intersex children of God. Instead, turn "gender is a social construct" back around.
"So, you're saying gender is an expression of culture, then? Okay, well, I believe our culture works best with two genders. Cultures with more than two genders like the Muxi, Cree, or various Arctic-adjacent cultures were all put down by our culture and its strong two genders. Its superiority is proven by history. Our culture doesn't NEED to have two genders, but it SHOULD. And I and everyone who agrees with me has guns, so..."
Trying to make this a science thing is an L mindset. If you want to win the culture war you gotta fight on culture terms.
really?
Yes? Science goes crazy and we just can't guarantee that transitioning will always be medically unsafe (to say nothing of how not every trans wants to medically transition) - it's a sandy place to build an argument.
Don't use facts all but guaranteed to change. Use facts that have already been cemented. There were cultures with more than two genders, all over this continent, and our culture with two genders all but wiped them out and proved the stability, superiority, and efficiency of the two gender way.
Plus, we need to make sure that we aren't throwing intersex people out with the bathwater, for they are children made in God's image as well.
