anatomy does not determine gender

 

1)LGBT関係の記事はカタカナが多くてよくわからん 
2)翻訳記事の日本語がとてもわかりにくい。
3)JKロリングの主張には正しくないものもあるが、排除はよくない。






Get Under The Knife Or Get Lost
She writes, “A man who intends to have no surgery and take no hormones may now secure himself a Gender Recognition Certificate and be a woman in the sight of the law. Many people aren’t aware of this.” FYI JKR, sex and gender are absolutely different ideas and you don’t need to have a certain kind of body to identify with a gender! It’s never a compulsion to go under the knife to embrace one’s gender identity! 

Believes That Trans Woman Are All Men Who Want To Rape Women
When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth,” JKR writes. This is not “the truth”, this is just a fleeting assumption made by her by citing her only trans friend as reason enough to theorise whatever she can about trans folks. In fact, bathroom privileges have been a long-standing problem for trans people and now citing it in this light is only going back in the time and undoing years of hard work put in by queer organisations and folks to address this. 

Believes Trans Activism Is Eroding Women
I refuse to bow down to a movement that I believe is doing demonstrable harm in seeking to erode ‘woman’ as a political and biological class and offering cover to predators like few before it,” she writes. And just to be clear trans activism is not aimed at aiming to erode ‘woman’ as a class but to make it more inclusive if anything. The idea of biology that JKR is so obsessed with becomes the very basis of a challenge for tans folks by the heteronormative discourses excluding those who don’t fall under the binary. This is exactly why social constructionists have started to challenge the idea of assigning sex as a social process and not a natural one. However, it either challenges all the identifications as ‘male’, ‘female’, and ‘trans’ or nothing at all. Womanhood was never a target and, in fact, in case of transwomen a dream the only dream!




The whole argument comes down to one key point: TERFs believe that gender identity (a person’s sense of their gender) and biological sex (the label a person is given at birth based their anatomy) are the same things. They worry that the concept of biological sex is being eroded; an occurrence which would ultimately dilute the fight for gender equality that women have waged throughout history. It’s a concept known as “female erasure“.

The thing is, for decades, experts have believed that anatomy does not determine gender – in other words, gender identity and biological sex are not necessarily the same thing. This is the view that trans activists take, and ultimately, they believe that it is gender identity – rather than biological sex – that should be given priority in terms of law-making.

The reality is that biological sex is a spectrum


J.K. Rowling got it wrong

Our limited understanding of sex and gender comes from a mainstream medical assessment that looks only at external genitalia and then labels a baby within this binary system. We then socialize our babies and children based on that superficial view of sex and reinforce norms that we've decided are somehow intrinsic to those two categories; that's the thing we call gender.

We decide thousands of moments of behavioral norms, from what colors someone can wear and how they should act, to whom they should love and what path they are allowed to walk in life, all based on their genitals at the time of birth.

The truth, based in science, is much more complex.

Biology isn't binary -- it is much more diverse than we acknowledge.


一部の伝統的女性とチンコのあるトランス女性の対立はこれからも当分続きそうだね。

男性側からトランス男性を排除する動きは・・・少ないかなと思ったけど・・・トイレとか更衣室で排除する意見は聞いたこと無いが、先程の 藤彌葵実さんのケースのような場合もあるからな。
