Yeah in what fucking miniscule % of cases is it an issue?
Yet to see any trans advocate get the better of Matt walsh in a debate
I mean, unless your understanding of biological reality and society are so bent out of shape they're useless, if not actually maladaptive.

All trans people everywhere DESTROYED BY LOGIC!
Mr. Tea
Let's Talk About Ceps
Me or HMG?
Are you about to say she's analogous to trans people in some way?
Mr. Tea
Let's Talk About Ceps
Then what's her relevance to this thread?
shes interesting (which doesn't mean good) but on a thread largely populated by whites I won't air my opinions cos it'll offend their victim complex 'brown and blacks are oppressed / otherwise we'd hate em' anti-racist abstractions, which can often end up reentrenching the racism they so vociferously think they're railing against.
Share your opinion stick it in their honky faces

I don't think much of her attempt to sue a historically black university for racial discrimination, not least because this rests on an implicit recognition that she is in fact white, which makes her claim to "identity as" black seem all the more disingenuous.
I think she's probably genuinely quite messed up, but I don't think that means she should be extended an indefinite amount of leeway.

Still, I'm glad everything worked out for her in the end.

Wait I thought you were conspicuously making a show of telling us all how you're ignoring this thread
So, do you want to continue pretending to ignore it or pop up with random Matt Walsh nonsense? Gotta make up your mind, buddy
But that aside, it's extremely easy to refute Matt Walsh
The answer is: treat the patient and not worry about what genitals they have. Also, pregnant trans men are not exactly a new thing. They're common enough that "pregnant man" stories are their own trope of journalism on trans issues.
Here's a trans woman quite easily refuting some other Matt Walsh nonsense

More generally, that's all Matt Walsh does
I personally don't think he's worth debating bc if you can't cross the very basic threshold of acknowledging someone's right to exist, it's pointless to talk about anything else
But if you're going to, be aware that he's a one-trick pony of debate club tricks - strawman, fallacy of composition, etc - and he's quite good at them. You'd hope he would be, since his entire livelihood is predicted on attacking trans people and he's spent years honing that one attack in gladiatorial combat on social media.
Huge respect to that woman for the courage to do it anyway despite knowing that a tidal wave of slurs and "ur a man lol" etc from the baying hate mobs of Twitter was inevitable
More general aside: that kind 30 second clip "[x opponent] DESTROYED by [y person whose side I'm on" approach to public discourse has, obviously, been a disaster for public discourse
