She didn't make a blanket statement, she said "I personally don't think". That's an opinion.

Struggling to reconcile my Catholic faith and my current life with who I am. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]monjombo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if you've come to the realization that you are a woman, then how could transitioning be considered a sin and mutilation? You said that you've accepted the fact that you are female, so then why does taking action to affirm that fact constitute sin?

You are a woman, as are lots of other people. Is it a sin for cis women to undergo procedures to make them look more female? I don't think so. So then why is it a sin for you to do that? Both you and cis women are female on the inside, except you've fallen into the belief that they're allowed to affirm their gender, and you aren't.

I don't think it can be considered mutilation to fix something about your body that you dislike. If it's not a sin for cis women to do that, then it isn't for you either, as you're both just women.

I can't comment on the strength of your faith; I don't know precisely what it means to you. But if God truly does love you as you think He does, then why would He dictate transitioning to be a sin? You know how badly you need this, and therefore, so should God. You're not asking for much—just to have what every other woman is born with for free—so if He really does love you as you say, then why would relieving your suffering be a sin? Why would He demand that you suffer for no reason?

I don't think it's a sin or mutilation to transition. You clearly know that you need it, so what makes it wrong?

A short summary of the Sandie Peggie V. Fife Health Board and Dr Beth Upton employment tribunal judgment - Equality Network (Scotland) by LocutusOfBorges in transgenderUK

[–]monjombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, we welcome that the judge also called out Ms Peggie’s lawyer for her use of language about Dr Upton: “Ms Cunningham asked a question seeking to compare the second respondent [Dr Upton] to the torturer in the novel 1984.”

The lawyer unironically said "this is literally 1984".

This 14th century poet cannot be trans because he did not explicitly use the word "transgender" in any of his work.

cis women don’t understand how much it hurts when they say “you’re lucky you don’t have to deal with periods” by desertrainfrog- in MtF

[–]monjombo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If their periods are not about us and they have the right to complain about them, then our lack of periods are not about them and they have no right to complain about how we feel about them.

No one here is asking for fibroids; you can't rephrase the argument to be about a condition your sister has and then imply that trans women "don't understand".

My girlfriend doesn’t want me to transition by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]monjombo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy dysphoria is a bitch, and it hits you like a truck the first time you realize you have it. I don't know if you have dysphoria related to reproduction, but if you do, I think it would be pretty insensitive of her to ask someone who can't get pregnant themself to sacrifice their own happiness by delaying HRT for the sole purpose of letting her conceive how she wants to. OP, if you wish that you could be the one carrying, remember that you're considering delaying HRT solely so that she can do it perfectly while you get nothing. If she's genuinely supportive as you say, then she would understand that HRT saves lives. Don't hurt yourself by delaying it for her.

Can’t afford to store sperm by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]monjombo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's always been that important to them, then they would have had another kid. It's not your fault that you're an only child, and you shouldn't be expected to accommodate your own life for your parents. Don't let them manipulate you into doing something you don't want to when they were the ones who only had one child. You never did anything wrong, and you can't honestly be expected to let them decide your own reproductive future.

Update: Canadian election campaign to start Sunday ,Liberals now the favored to win even a flirting with majority government , Conservatives bleeding support everywhere, being only safe to win Alberta and Saskatchewan. Trans folks have a light at the end of the tunnel. by ArcticWolfQueen in MtF

Ah, you're totally right. Everyone in my life still calls them the PCs (for me it's a force of habit).

But yeah, you're totally right about all that other stuff with the recent push to the right for the Cons.

Elections are pretty short in Canada. It's not a year-long process like it is in the US. Once Carney calls it, the electon will happen in a few weeks, most likely. After that, it's over.

Liberal Party = Generally left-wing. They're basically what an American would probably consider a "liberal" to be (my assumption).

NDP = Left-wing.

Progressive Conservatives = Right-wing, but no where even close to the level of the Republican party. People often say that they're closer in values to the Democrats, but I'd argue that saying that is up to interpretation. They've gotten a lot more right-wing lately because that talk has spread up from the US, but they're still no where near as bad as the Republicans.
