Reply to comment by SilverNicktail in Scotland passes legislation allowing people to change their gender easier. by Ohnoitsewan

My dad tried to have a conversation about this with me but for some forsaken reason decided to open with 'some people have 'reasonable' arguments against it but are being called transphobic anyway.'

Yes. That's because they're arguing in favor of restricting people's access to resources and respect, based on unsubstantiated fearmongering. Their intentions might not be bigoted, but the result they're pushing for is.

Besides, it doesn't matter how well reasoned your argument is if you're starting from a point that you pulled out your ass and have no evidence for.

"Men will hurt women."
I agree: put all men in jail. They're provably dangerous, look at crime statistics. Start with him, I'm sure he'll agree with this 'reasonable' argument.
