RE: what's more important trans issues or abortion?
( Thelnebriati )
The trans issue is more important to women's rights. Laws depend on accurate definitions.
Being able to define ourselves as members of a recognised class is fundamental to all of our other legal rights.

Agreed. What's the point of keeping abortion legal if we lose every other sex based right? The current progressive/democrat platform seems to be: "We might be setting women and girls up to be raped in bathrooms, homeless shelters, prison cells, etc. But at least we'll graciously allow them to get abortions when those rapes get them pregnant! We're feminists!!"
Also, if the democrats remain slaves to gender ideology, I don't trust them not to outlaw abortion one day simply because Dylan Mulvaney marched into the White House and screeched, "ABORTION IS TRANSPHOBIC BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE ONE!! MAKE IT GO AWAY, JOE BIDEN!!!"

Trans issues make women "non people" ; abortion, while important, is not as vital. How many times a day does a woman need to shit or piss or adjust her clothing-? How many times a day does she need to get an abortion-? I fear trans beliefs even more than anti choice shibboleths.

Trans ideology is a bigger priority for me. With abortion, only women and girls who are fertile and of childbearing age who do not want children and would choose to have an abortion are affected. There are other options such as adoption, and most states make concessions for abortions due to health complications. Unless I'm raped, I at least have control of the situation in whether I choose to use birth control or not or choose to have sex or not, knowing it could result in a pregnancy.
"Trans ideology" affects every single woman and girl on the planet, from the age of 1 to 90. It affects gay and autistic children, boys and girls, who are being medically abused. It affects families that are being torn apart. Women no longer have any protection in the law. Under trans ideology, women lose the ability to even recognize themselves apart from men. How can we fight for any women's issues, including abortion, when we can't even recognize who women are?
