1. Transfobia como negación de la ciencia.
La transfobia se presenta como una postura anti-ciencia que niega la realidad de las identidades transgénero, a menudo recurriendo a la desinformación y la tergiversación de la biología.
- "transphobia is anti-science, anti-history, and anti-decency. This is the same shit they tried to do against gay people in the past; they just moved the target to a new victim.".
- "transphobia is an anti science stance. There’s research to be found a century ago. Everything points to transitioning as the solution to help our well being they want more studies because the studies that exist don’t say what they want it to say.".
- "transphobia is science denialism.".
2. Uso de la "ciencia" para justificar la transfobia.
Algunos individuos y grupos intentan disfrazar su transfobia como "ciencia", utilizando argumentos biológicos simplistas o pseudocientíficos para negar o invalidar las identidades trans.
- "any time i see someone trying to explain their transphobia as if it's science, i'm reminded that the same appeal has been made by homophobes, by racists, by misogynists. No, i don't need to read your bullshit eugenics research.".
- "don't get it twisted, this is a transphobic person if you don't believe trans women are women, it doesn't matter how you dress it up, you are a transphobe and no sweetie, its not "because science" medical science changed my biology down to the dna stop using science to justify transphobia".
- "it's cute that you think science backs your transphobia up when you have, at best, an 8 year old's grasp of human biology.".
3. Transfobia como prejuicio y odio.
En esencia, la transfobia se revela como un prejuicio arraigado en el miedo y la incomprensión, que lleva a la discriminación y la violencia contra las personas trans.
- "transphobia is a clear demonstration of how bigots build a complicated, pseudo-scientific set of rationales to justify their hatred, which is ultimately based in discomfort with something they do not understand.".
- "transphobia is pure hatred and inherently anti-scientific, every argument proves it. We will win because people will eventually see it as the pure cruelty that it is".
- "it's all just misogynistic transphobia. They don't care about the science, fairness, protecting women, or anything else. They just want to be hateful bigots but are too cowardly to admit it.".
4. El impacto de la transfobia en la investigación científica.
La transfobia puede obstaculizar la investigación científica legítima y el acceso a la atención médica adecuada para las personas trans, al tiempo que promueve estudios sesgados o pseudocientíficos que perpetúan la discriminación.
- "further proof that transphobia hurts all women. Say goodbye to any nih funded research not centered around cis white men. Decades of progress in research lost.".
- "the transphobia movement relies a lot of this kind of fraudulent science that is hideously biased but provides a foundation of "legitimate research" upon which a bigoted frenzy can be whipped up".
- "sick of everyone arguing about trans rights by using scientific data reasoning it fully accepts the logic of transphobia, just argues against its conclusion".
5. La necesidad de combatir la transfobia con ciencia y empatía.
Se enfatiza la importancia de utilizar la ciencia, la educación y la empatía para combatir la transfobia, promoviendo la comprensión y el respeto hacia las personas trans y sus derechos.
- "i like when i dismantle transphobia with science. Tip for anyone who is in any trans debate, bring up science and see transphobia destroy itself. Transphobic arguments and science are poker opposite of each other".
- "science proves being isn’t a choice—yet trans people face discrimination & political attacks. Trans rights human rights. Reject transphobia. Stand against maga extremism.".
- "transphobia is pure hatred and inherently anti-scientific, every argument proves it. We will win because people will eventually see it as the pure cruelty that it is.".
