‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens - Gun Violence in America

Cop testifying: The suspect was an elderly white female
Cop testifying: The suspect was an elderly white woman

I think using female in that spot may not be optimal, but is certainly fine.

I don’t really disagree with this, but it would be great if someone could post the official rules for reference. I’m just going by feels, which is bound to lead to a fuck up at some point.

It’s only used by hateful ppl for trans man, and well intentioned but unread ppl who mean trans woman. That’s it. There’s no other use

I messed up the quotation marks pretty badly here, but I mainly wanted to make the point that, no, these are not equivalent.

An elderly white trans female, and
An elderly white trans woman

Are not equivalent.

Thanks. The main reason I’ve never really used it is that I’ve never actually heard anyone say it. So it just sounds weird. Most hateful people I have encountered don’t bother with any sort of trans modifiers. They just call a trans man a woman.

Male and female more to do wirh sex ar birth. Man and woman for gender

So hateful ppl who try to project a veneer of intellectualism like Elon and his cult followers will just reduce everything to sex at birth

Well now that BusinessGenius posted the rule, it is clear. Prior to that I’d just have said that trans female sounds weird (I didn’t know the bigots use that term).

I think there’s something to them using what they think is a more clinical or scientific term that better conveys their insistence of black and white, immutable trait that nature couldn’t give nuance to. Or like plugs lol. Less humanity connoted

Something necessarily implied by “AFAB”, you know, Assigned Female At Birth, a preferred term for trans men, is that “female” status is something that can be assigned. It’s pretty reasonable to conclude from that that “female” and “woman” both may apply to the fluid social construct that is gender rather than the innate, complicated, and difficult to discern or identify objectively “sex,” even while in other contexts “female” is supposed to be the sex that is different from the lived gender identity of the person in question that distinguishes them as trans rather than cis. As much as I think that learning and using the preferred terminology is good and respectful, it’s also a moving target, non-obvious, and at times inconsistent with itself.

And a touch of actually conceding some ground for the sake of expedient communication. Sort of the same as amab and afab, which themselves along with my usage of birth sex I think have fallen out of favor as concepts among medical ppl and the rest of the ppl who accept that trans ppl exist

As long as ACAB hasn’t fallen out of favor.
