    what. is. your. alternative.

    I swear you must not be reading my comments. How do you refer to a child for the first five years of their life if giving them a name, even a temporary one, is transphobic?

      Not shoving people into boxes we know aren’t accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

      Why is that even a thing you want to do?

          I notice first off you’re conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.

          Makes me doubt your faith, that.

          I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?

                You: “The fact that society does this is a problem!”

                Me: “Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

                You: “I refuse to answer this question”

                Are you trolling?

                  “Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

                  Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.

                  If I told you “kicking puppies is wrong” would you demand ‘an alternative’ to do instead?
                  Don’t kick puppies.
