im confused how alt text works or if i did it correctly so i am also going to paste it in the body
“you’re a man” \ ad hominem
“you were born a boy” \ sunk cost fallacy
“you’re amab” \ false dichotomy
“you have xy chromosomes” \ false equivalence
“trans people are mentally ill” \ non sequitur
“changing your sex isn’t possible” \ skill issue
I view it the same way people misuse “psychosomatic”. (Not to detract from the whole transphobia of it all. We know what they really mean when they say this, of course.)
People use psychosomatic to mean “its all in your head, therefore nothing is wrong.” instead of “You identified a cause of the very real symptoms you’re experiencing.”
Honestly, it sometimes feels like the public has not grown all that much from the “throw the loonies into the asylum” era of psychology.
