Trump's transphobic law destroyed by facts and logic

Doubledee [comrade/them] - 1.5yr

Isn't this just conceptually kicking the can? The definition of a group isn't 'belonging to the group' you would still have to explain what defines that group? Obviously it can't be 'producing the x reproductive cell' since that status is not innate or immutable. They're clearly even aware of this, it's funny that this is the best they've got.

Also isn't this legally creating people who have no sex or people who technically are multiple sexes?

They're not sending their best, folks.

Genuinley how do they even prove this? Like my ex is interesex, assigned female at birth but produces (a small ammout of non-functional) small gametes, like what even are they occording to this law? and how would they even know that from legal documents alone?? Like being assined a sex at birth is the only thing on the books, but even that doent always alighn with the gametes you will produce (or already have) at birth. Def some can kicking going on...

Their argument for your ex-partner by them is that they're a minority of a minority so it doesn't matter.

I've heard this from conservatives verbatim. When you point out how intersex and trans people are both more common than redheads, they just dismiss it as "Well that's still a tiny number of people."

Or in other words "My argument makes sense if you just ignore all the things that prove it wrong."

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words..."

Yeah exactly, I unfortunately know intimately their disgusting beliefs.

Also to be a pedant, how would they know what was the case "at conception"? Is this phenomenon normally documented by a competent observer?

that part is just insane bullshit for thier anti-abortion ideology i think. Like nobody has any gametes right at conception right??? Literally makes no sence

Did they throw in 'at conception' to future proof against reproductive capable sex changes?

I doubt it. Transphobe biology is largely headcanon, they always think they got this and then fall over their feet trying to define biological sex.

they threw it in because they want to ban abortion even more
