Of course it doesn't change gender!

It changes sex, that is why it is called a "sex change".

She can be black if she wants to be. Same way a person can be the gender they feel most comfortable being. It none of anybody else's business as it doesn't affect them.

Trying to control what others do, on the other hand... is deplorable.

I mean at some point it definately does. If we had a full body genetic change technology you would effectively be the other sex. If that is indeed possible but maybe its like altered carbon and you bring your consciousness into a totally different body. I mean if any are possible. I mean women get boob jobs. Afterwards are they still flat chested. What about electrolysis. Are thier legs still hairy. It comes down to how close it gets. Main thing is people should be allowed to do what they want with their own bodies and they should not be discriminated against. If bathrooms and locker rooms are such a big deal we can adapt. Make them genderless and have floor to ceiling toilettes. Have locker cubicles that are shower with a locker to keep your clothes and towel dry from splashing with a common general locker area to hold your stuff while you workout or whatever.

Someone has never watched a single sci-fi or fantasy TV show/movie.
(Talking about the work of make-up artists here not about storylines in them)

obviously never fully gonna transition with the current medical technology we have at the moment. despite this, these procedures are super complex, and a fuck you towards doctors. a civil case is a bit too much. someone should just slap her. trolls do not need more attention.

That last sentence is less than great.

Is it less great than a politician doing blackface?

How can she compare visible appearance with a change of physical characteristics of a body? Makeup is a temporary change of your appearance. Gender operation is a relatevly permanent change of properties of your body. These are not equal things.

"visible appearance"

"physical characteristics"

I'm sorry, what's the difference?

"relatevly permanent"

This is an oxymoron I think, it's either permanent or it's not, your need to apply the caveat shows that this too is temporary, can be reversed that they are in fact equal things.

I'm happy to be shown I'm wrong, I'm just having trouble parsing your argument.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, sorry. This happens sometimes when you know multiple languages and your brain hasn't switched from thinking on other language before you write in English. What I have meant, is that makeup is very easy to apply and remove. It doesn't change your body functions and abilities. Surgery is much harder to undo( if even possible) and it changes your body actually. So it is not correct from my point of view to compare temporal look with a long-term body change, moreover to use a racial analogy for this.

[–] Tmiwi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Thank you for the clarification, it's much appreciated.

Those whom this video was made for, often believe trans women are just men wearing makeup. It's unfortunately a silly troupe that has worked effectively enough to get us to this point. They are literally circle jerking their own repugnant propaganda at this point.

Race is an immutable characteristic based on ancestry, gender is a societal construct based off of self image that idiots like this conflate with sex.

This gal is just showing off that she doesn't understand what gender is without making anything approaching a reasonable comparison and she should be laughed out of showing her face in public.

Race is a social construct, the Irish weren't considered white until fairly recently.

So if someone can change their gender, they should also be able to change their race?
