Time to place libs on the hot seat about this "genitals don't matter"
Literally:
If genitals are irrelevant: then why are people literally changing their genitals
If female/male doesn't exist, then why are people literally changing their genitals to become either female or male
Transgender literally has gender in the name.
Transgenders literally recognize there are 2 genders
Libs degrade transgenders by saying genitals are irrelevant, bc transgenders believe it is so relevant that they pump their bodies full of pills to start to become the other gender, they hack their body up to become the other gender. Transgenders believe in the identity of the roles of female/male so much that they change their entire lives to become the other gender, and what do they do in order to become that gender...they change their genitals. To deny gender/genitals is to say to the trans people: you're doing this all for nothing bc gender and genitals do not matter, so why waste your time/money.
If libs don't recognize gender/genitals why are they screaming from the rooftops that we better recognize the gender/genitals of a trans. (Example: Libs-- "You better call her Caitlyn, bc She is a female" Trumpers say "but I thought female/male doesn't exist" Libs scream stop calling her a him. Trumpers say "so Trans are allowed to recognize female/male, but the rest of us must use gender neutral words"

If gender is a social construct, then there is no such thing as a “gender binary.” If this is true, how can one “transition” between “genders” or be “genderfluid?” If gender is a social construct and stereotypical gender binary “gender identities” and the gender roles stereotypically assigned thereto are entirely made up by an oppressive society for its own uses, why would “transgenders” want to take on, themselves, made up roles assigned to the nonexistent “gender” to which they are transitioning, and thus reenforce the system’s fake stereotypes of gender roles in the gender binary? By this “logic”, a man can act like a man but claim that he is a woman and feel no need in “transitioning”, and everyone must accept it. Thus is proven the transsexual mental illness.
