No, Abortion Rights and Trans Rights are not two sides of the same coin.

This is wrong on just about every level.

To be clear on this point, I'm not actually expressing my personal view, I'm just stating a fact - anti-abortion activists don't give a shit about what women do to their bodies; they care about the body of the unborn child. Articles like this emerge because leftists live in an echo chamber and don't know what their opposition actually believes or why they believe it.

Now, I am going to express what I actually believe - it is immoral to stunt a child's puberty if you think he or she is trans. It's a lie to say that hormone therapy is entirely reversible. It's not. Trans activists actually acknowledge this from time to time. We can accept and love people for who they are while also believing that a person's brain should be developed before he or she decides to sterilize him or herself.

There are people who transitioned as adults who didn't find out until it was too late that they were permanently sterilized without having bottom surgery. You want us to start drugging six year-olds? No. Wrong.
