Untruth 1 : Whoever feels like a woman is a woman.

Argument 1 : When a person tells you this, ask for more precisions: what does this feeling look like? Is it the same for all women? If not, saying that being a woman is a feeling is not enough to define women, because at least one common denominator is needed to define a group of people. If so, dig deeper: what does this feeling correspond to? You liked playing with dolls as a child? You feel submissive and fragile? You like a certain type of clothing? So in that case, what about women who don't share these stereotypical "feelings"? Are they less women?

Argument 2 : Defining a word by this same word is illogical.

Argument 3 : The word “woman” must continue to refer to human adult females. We are talking about biology, this has nothing to do with a hypothetical feeling.

However, some Anglo-Saxon dictionaries such as the Merriam-Webster adopt transactivist rhetoric and go so far as to change the definition of words. It has been added as a second definition to the word “female”: (having a gender identity that is the opposite of male).

Untruth 2 :A trans woman is a woman.

Argument 1 : A trans woman is a man because being a man is precisely the prerequisite for being a trans woman.

Argument 2 : Trans women are males. Within the human species, there are only two sexes: males and females (as in all mammals, and as in the majority of other animal species). Human males are called “men” and human females are called “women”, in the same way that the males of the panthera leo species are lions, and the females of the panthera leo species are lionesses. 

There are people called intersex: these people have a genetic anomaly in their 23rd pair of chromosomes, which sometimes induces an anomaly in the development of their primary and secondary sexual characteristics. According to the figures, this would represent 0.017% of the population.

Argument 3 : The prefix “trans” expresses the idea of ​​change. “Trans woman” therefore literally means “woman who had to change” (implying “change to become a woman”). As sex is immutable in mammals, it is therefore impossible to “become a woman” or “become a man” despite the often called sex reassignment surgeries which actually consist of the ablation of healthy genital organs to create excrescences and/or cavities that look like in appearance to the genital parts of the opposite sex.

Untruth 3 : Saying that women have vaginas and wombs is reducing women to their bodies.

Argument 1 : In this case, saying the Moon is round is to reduce the Moon to its roundness; saying a fox is red is to reduce foxes to the color of their coats; saying strawberries are sweet is to reduce strawberries to their sugar content, etcetera. 

Argument 2 : 

All women have a set of things in common. This set of common points is what makes it possible to define them. This set of common points is in the female anatomy. 

Some transgenderists respond to this fact: “Women born without a uterus are not women, then in your opinion? We tell them that some women are indeed born without a uterus in the same way that some people are born without arms. These people are no less human, we simply need to draw broad generalities to describe individuals and their belonging in one group or another. 

Apart from their anatomy which is easily observable, describable, measurable, all women have different personality traits, centers of interest and abilities. 

Argument 3 : We could reverse this rhetoric: according to transgenderist people, being a woman is defined by a feeling. So we could tell them that they reduce women to their feelings.

Untruth 4 : To be born in the wrong body. 

Argument 1 : If we accept it is possible to be born in the wrong body, then we accept it is also possible to be born on the wrong day, in the wrong place, or with the wrong skin color. This would imply that people could claim to be “trans-age”, “trans-rich” or “trans-ethnic”. 

Argument 2 : Imagine you could be born in the wrong body, so that leads to spiritual questions: Who put you in the wrong body? Can God or nature be wrong and why? Is there a female soul or a male soul that would exist beyond the body? Is your soul separated from your body? Question your interlocutor.

Argument 3 : This way of thinking induces some people would therefore be mistakes. The idea that you can be born in the wrong body is very useful to the pharmaceutical industry, which uses it to sell surgical and hormonal solutions to problems that can be interpreted in psychiatric or philosophical ways.

Untruth 5 : Saying women don't have penises is transphobic.

Argument 1 :Transphobia is about discriminating people because of their trans identity, not about questioning their beliefs. In the same way, one is not communistophobic when he criticizes communism, one is not transphobic when he criticizes transgenderism.

Argument 2 :The law of 1905 stipulates that the State does not recognize any dogma. As such, it is therefore possible in France to “blaspheme” against the gender identity religion because it is not criminally reprehensible. Saying women do not have a penis is therefore not only a scientifically true statement, but it is also not an offense.

Untruth 6 : Not believing that a man can become a woman is like being homophobic 30 years ago.

Argument 1: Using this argument is meant to scare off any kind and empathetic person who cares about the common good, and doesn't want to appear "unprogressive."

Argument 2 : Homosexuality is a sexual orientation and does not require any change, while transidentity is about personal identity and sometimes requires hormonal or surgical change (the prefix “trans” meaning “beyond” and expressing the idea of ​​change) . Transidentity can produce irreversible physical and psychological damages, as proven by the existence of “detrans” people.

Argument 3 : Homosexuality does not encroach on anyone's rights, when transidentity can encroach on women's rights. 

Argument 4 : It is homophobic to say that sex is a social construct and cannot be used to define individuals. This therefore implies denying the reality of sexual orientation (and as a consequence of homosexuality). Trans activists say that having “genital preferences” is transphobic. Wanting to ban “genital preferences”, that is to say homosexuality, is homophobic

Untruth 7 : Lesbians who don't like penises are transphobic.

A certain number of trans women (that is to say transfeminine males) declare themselves to be lesbians. A man cannot be a lesbian. A lesbian trans woman is actually a heterosexual man who, despite his change in appearance, wishes to have sex with women. Lesbians who refuse to have relations with these transfeminine males are called transphobes by trans activists. Transgender people say having “genital preferences” is transphobic.

Argument 1 : Saying lesbians must accept penises in their sexuality is the basis of lesbophobia.

Argument 2 : The definition of homosexuality is loving same sex people, not same gender people. 

Argument 3 : Forcing women to sleep with men is nothing new. Using transphobia blackmail techniques to manage to get a sexual relationship with women is inadmissible.

These are obviously not the only untruths of the transgender ideology, but it will already help you to have more arguments.
