I’ll never forget the assholes I found on Reddit who tried to say that it’s wrong to push for LGBT Rights especially outside of the US because it was “Pushing Western Values where they don’t belong, like a colonizer!”
These people will come up with any excuse to be dickbutts.
LGBT Rights are based and cool, and anyone who unironically uses the term “Biological Male” is not arguing in good faith
“biological male” is if anything bad description of reality. A trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a couple of years is biologically closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. And even more so if they’ve had surgeries. But usually people who use that term don’t care and lump everyone who was assigned male at birth into that category.
I could attribute this term to ignorance because it sounds reasonable, but it’s far too often used to exclude trans women from spaces that other women belong

I’ve sadly ran into this kind of thing before.
