Got it.
I apologize.
You're a the most qualified person on the internet for cisgender, trans, and intersex word policing.
Now that I know and if I don't change, you'll make sure to report it to the cisgender police for trans activities special victims unit...
It's interesting you chose the statement "it's not difficult to be better, it's just a choice". You could have started this entire interaction with "hey dude, just a heads up that a lot of transphobes use phrases like 'biological male' to invalidate trans identities", but instead you took the opportunity to speak down to me and made sure I was now "educated" and that I can stop using wrong speak.
Thank God you're here as an ally to make people question why those of us on this side of the fence can't even get along internally.
I definitely am not.
I haven't reported or downvoted you.
I don't think I spoke down to you, but you are welcome to your opinion. I tried to inform you.
"I don't think I spoke down to you, but you are welcome to your opinion. I tried to inform you."
Really? You seriously can re-read your comment and don't see how shitty it comes across when addressing it to someone who used a word you disagree with unwittingly?
"Assigned male at birth is the term you want to use. "Biological male" is a term used by transphobes to spread misinformation."
Not informative at all. It's you telling me what word I want to use, while implying I'm a transphobe attempting to spread misinformation.
" Biology is very complex and not your elementary school version of biology. What makes someone "biologically" male? Is it having a penis, having testis, having more testosterone than estrogen, having XY chromosomes? These can all be intermixed with other characteristics."
Here's the fun part where you state I have an elementary level understanding of biology.
"The "basic biology" definition doesn't work in the real world, and the people using it are actively trying to harm trans people or ignorant. Now you're more informed so ignorance isn't an excuse anymore."
Here's the cherry on top where you talk about me not knowing how to discuss complex topics in the real world or that I may be actively trying to harm trans people at worst or ignorant at best. Lastly, in case you know I'm not a transphobe that my ignorance can no longer be an excuse.
You seriously couldn't possibly think of any other combination of words to get your point across without making me out to be someone that's intentionally skirting the line of ignorance and bigotry in an effort to harm trans people?
