Reply to comment by [deleted] in Transgender activists demand equal rights, protection in Pakistan’s ‘first’ trans rights march in Karachi, Pakistan by Arya9019slp

It's important to realise that reality always makes scientific sense. Science exists to describe reality, not to dictate how it should behave.

If we find that some people suffer horrible mental distress when they are treated as the gender that aligns with their birth characteristics, and treating them according to their identity resolves that issue, then science doesn't get to disagree. Saying 'You have genitals X, therefore you should identify as gender X' isn't science, that's dogma.

Show me any example of someone who has transitioned to do that.

Rapists do not need to identify as women to walk into a women's restroom. They can just do it regardless. Trans people are not the enemy and you need to stop reading and spreading hateful lies.

It's a bit like saying that people are legally changing their names to Bill Gates so that they can pirate Microsoft Office. Completely irrelevant, a massive personal change, and nobody was stopping them in the first place.

>but many use it for sexual purposes. Men identify as females to enter female bathrooms, go to female colleges, and to assault them or take advantage of their fake identity.
