I've blogged before many times about the difference between sex and gender, the problems with puberty-blocker medications, their over-prescription and prescription outside of guidelines recommended by places like the Mayo Clinic and more.
I've distanced myself from the "trans activists," other than the former "activist" doctors who blew the whistle last year on some of the worst of the activism.
At the same time, I've distanced myself from the former Georgia Green Party and its right-wing allies, and whether specifically right-wing or not, some of the worst of gender-critical radical feminism.
But, I realized that I've probably never specified that, although transgenderism and transsexualism are not the same thing, because sex is not gender, that both transgender and transsexual people are entitled to certain legal rights and protections.
Those may not always be the same, between the two groups, but both are entitled to certain legal rights and protections. For instance, both have the right to privacy from both government and private snooping.
The biggest difference, re something that's been in the news off and on?
Battered women's shelters.
A former male who has sexually, by chemistry and/or surgery, transitioned to being female, has the right to enter such a facility.
A man wearing a dress and makeup who has not transitioned to female, is not in the process of doing so, and especially, has no plans to start such a process, has no such entrance rights. Not in my book.
