I've had this thought myself, too. I was wondering which side I would rather fight with in the long run - the party that wants to take my rights as a woman, or the party that will define the idea of 'woman' out of existence. The former is looking better and better the more the latter talks.

Never, EVER thought I'd say that. I'd rather elect a republican and fight for my right to abortion than fight with a democrat on the definition of woman. At least a republican knows what one is.

Well, since 2016...:

...enjoy your paradox.

Yet, PJ O'Rourke wasn't in one when he said of Hillary Clinton then that she was (quote) the lesser of two evils.

And he's right-wing.

Do you know what a Republican is? Because Chuck Yeager refused to endorse Donald Fart: and the former is one.

Stern: “Dems won’t support MY bigotry! So I’ll go to the party where I’m the VICTIM of bigotry in protest! That’ll show them!”

Oh yeah. Us trannies want to define women out of existence. It totally makes sense for me to want to erase a category I desperately want to be placed in.

This is insane troll logic if I’ve ever seen some. So let’s take this at face value for a second and say that allowing transsexuals to define themselves how they like would somehow destroy the concept of gender. Ok, so you can’t call yourself a woman now anymore. Except you can because no one would be stopping you from doing it. There’d be no secret police busting everyone who identifies as a woman, which (if I have to remind you) transwomen want to. So worst and stupidest case scenario, no one is allowed to identify themselves as a gender anymore. How in the flying fuck is that worse than losing your goddamn rights?? How can one even make that argument?
It’s as if I’d say: Well, one party wants to take all my rights away because I’m a homosexual, but the other doesn’t recognize that there is a major difference between homo- and heterosexuals. Why the first one sounds so much more appealing, I’m just not happy unless my world is neatly divided into discreet categories to put myself into! Even if it means losing everything!

Fucking Christ this is one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever seen, and I saw so many variants of ‘if humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?’ that my eyes bleed everytime I see another one. Damn!

But it works both ways meaning that the idea of man would also have to go.
From a legal point of view I think that would probably be a good thing.

Cis-het woman here. I’m with @Spacewyrm; why want to erase a group one desperately want to join?

I’m lucky enough to be born with both brain and body being female. My brain says I’m woman, not just my body.
I have no problem imagining how horrible it could be if they didn’t match. Guess I must have superior imagination and intelligence over little Stern, here…

Bro, your balls are hanging out again. Tuck ’em back in & stop posing as a woman online.

Republicans aren’t sure what a woman is, but since so many of their men dress as women, maybe you can ask one. I suggest you start with the hyperventilating, drama loving yet still closeted queen Lindsay Belle Graham.
