Problem is that you are starting from a fake premise: Gender. There is no such thing as gender, and no, sex roles do not determine wether you are a man or a woman, that's a biological thing, it only determines wether you are more masculine or femenine. You can be a femenine man and you are still a man, you can a be a masculine woman and you would still be a woman. Yes, it is common to say things like "You are not a real man" or "That's not manly", but that doesn't make you any less of a man in the literal sense. Believing that is like believing that doing "inhumane" things makes one less of a human in the literal sense of the world.

This is a confused enquiry. What does it mean for transgenderism to be 'valid' or 'invalid'? It is something that people (typically, but not universally deranged) do, not a logical proposition.

Sex is not a binary. And all things are mutations, you might as well say green eyes aren't an eye colour. Plus hormone replacement IS changing your sexual characteristics. In an absence of genders, there would still be people who wish to take on female sexual characteristics, however, the dysphoria would probably be lessened or absent, since it is still essentially a biological thing, partly rooted in the structure of the brain. Otherwise trans people wouldn't seek out reassignment surgeries.

>(P1) X is “natural” if it’s socially unmediated and inevitable.
That's a retarded premise.
I could find countless examples to disprove it, like for instance pregnancy.
Pregnancies are socially mediated through birth control and abortions. They are also culturally mediated through anti-natalism propaganda. So it is not inevitable.
Yet no one would deny that a woman becoming pregnant after sex is a natural phenomenon.
Yet it is both socially regulated and not inevitable.
So your premises is retarded.

It does hurt society. These degenerates are no good in war, they can't reproduce, they're disgusting, and they're being "included" in various institutions where they engage in their mentally ill shenanigans degrading the institution and lowering morale. Not to mention that they're working to groom other young men into it, young men who will now not be able to start families nor die in war. So even if I grant your negative freedom principle about harm, it still does not hold, because trannies are absolutely harmful to society.

But there's no reason to accept such a pluralism. Society should be structured towards the common goods, towards encouraging virtuous lives, u unvirtuous people should be shunned.

What I don't get is that if gender is socially constructed why can't we just keep constructing it in a way that doesn't allow people to transition. If it's just a construction then that's just as valid as allowing trannies, but the "gender is socially constructed" argument always gets trotted out like it immediately follows that we should allow trannies.

I have come up with a logical proof for why genital mutilation surgery is invalid:

1. The genitals are a deeply connected with the mind and the soul.
2. To wish to physically remove or alter them is in and of itself a sign of severe mental illness
3. A person who is severely mentally ill is incapable of giving consent.
4. By the very act of consenting to genital mutilation surgery, a person is unequivocally proving themselves to be incapable of consent
Conclusion: genital mutilation surgery is a crime against humanity akin to raping a child and must be outlawed everywhere on earth

Language is use. If a person is called a woman then they are one. Internal identity and such doesn't matter, inner feelings don't matter, biology doesn't matter. We're talking about the meaning of words, and if we're being descriptive, trans women who pass are women. Just like the word sadness refers not the internal sensation of sadness but the outwardly demonstrable public behavior, Women does not refer to anything beyond the performance and appearance needed to be socially recognized as a Woman. Simple.

There is no such thing as a man sans polity. There was, furthermore, no nationalism anywhere to be found in my post. It has nothing to do with the "nation" which is a 19th century progressive notion, it's an ontological claim. Being is a state of war.

While I don't believe doing so should be banned, there is a legit concern as to whether said kids are just going through a phase or not.
