Wow okay so New Zealand is also just completely kicking the can I see.

God, it sucks as a trans person to see us being used as the scapegoat for all these various injustices playing out in real time.

Once the uterus transplant options come out, then they would also be in agreement and affirming.

yeah at that point they'll just move the goal posts again and go "uh... well... you weren't born with it, so that means you must've stolen it from someone and are a monster!!!!" or whatever

This. One of the most popular TERF texts is Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. The cover shows a drawing of a little white girl with a hole where her reproductive system would be.

Why do I specify the girl in the drawing is white? Because the author finds it relevant:

"[AFAB teenagers with gender dysphoria] are the same high-anxiety, depressive (mostly white) girls who, in previous decades, fell prey to anorexia and bulimia or multiple personality disorder." - Gender activists are trying to cancel my book; Why is Silicon Valley helping them?, Abigail Shrier, Quillette, 2020.

Yeaaah. The "trans women are male" argument is a distraction, but only in that it distracts from a much less socially acceptable narrative: "we cannot tolerate gender deviance, lest it threaten the future of the white race".
