THREAD (1/6):
Consider four positions:
1) marriage = man + woman
2) #1 plus forced gay marriage (TERF)
3) #1 plus forced transgender inclusion
4) all of the above
Which makes most sense *logically*?

2/6. First, the TERFs argue for #2, but not #3 or #4. Logically, transgenderism is anti-feminist. It is mutually exclusive with transgenderism. Indeed, transgenderism is often implicitly transphobic. https://twitter.com/alessabocchi/status/1271714434759692290?s=19
3/6. However, as this thread demonstrates, the TERF position leads to #4. In short, TERFs do not hold logically consistent position. https://twitter.com/ThyRamMan/status/1272636299300741126?s=19
4/6. The problem with #3 is that transgenderism insists not merely that people *feel* they have a different gender, but that sex is non-biological/mutable or that chosen gender should be used in place of sex. These are not logical (e.g. transgender women playing women's sports).
5/6. Since #2 and #3 are mutually exclusive, #4 is an illogical position to hold (though this is the position the law now holds). Since #2 and #3 are both illogical positions, that leaves #1 remaining.
6/6. Traditional marriage is exclusionary, but logical. It is the only such option. Promotion of the others leads to logical contradiction. This is why reformers are unhappy when reforms don't stop and then conflict with their preferred identity. https://twitter.com/ThyRamMan/status/1273661932671766528?s=19
Correction in 2/6, "transphobic" should be "homophobic".
