    That goes against the common argument about calling people what they look like though. There are a lot of contradictions to wade through.

    I’d also argue that it’s completely different if they were famous, which Bruce was.

      Okie but you are in the wrong and I am giving you the grace of a heads up. You will end up causing hurt with this mindset if you tend to hang around trans inclusive spaces. The “common argument” is neither relevant nor even truly common and there is no reason to defend it.

        It’s incredibly common. Especially when trying to shame people for getting the terminology wrong.

        Commonly framed as a meme showing how stupid you are for thinking this “incredibly feminine looking transwoman is a man”.

        You just kinda skipped the part about being famous too, as if it doesn’t affect perception. You can’t retroactively change the fact that Bruce won gold in mens sport.

      Common argument about calling people what they look like

      No one who actually understands gender expressions argues for this lmfao
