Many Abolitionists have asked me about what the Abolitionist position is about transphobia. The answer is clear: Transphobia is wrong. We should not discriminate against anyone based on their gender identity. Trans people should not be discriminated against in terms of access to jobs, renting/buying living accommodations, education, and elsewhere, etc. This makes perfect moral sense. The fact that someone is a trans person is completely irrelevant to their access to employment, housing, education, etc.

We do not, however, discriminate wrongly against trans persons by failing to believe their metaphysical/spiritual claims that that trans women are literally women or that trans men are literally men, and by failing to eliminate all single-sex spaces and activities or otherwise not living our lives in conformity with their metaphysical spiritual beliefs. That is, it is not “transphobic” to refuse to embrace trans belief claims any more than it is “Christianphobic” not to accept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, or “Catholicphobic” not to believe that that when a Catholic priest says Mass, transubstantiation occurs and the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus.

To the extent that trans ideology requires us to ignore the basic human rights of biological women and girls, or to maintain that lesbians and gays who are not really bisexual are bigots, or to threaten the welfare of children, trans ideology violates Principle Five.

[Frankly, this is hilarious. The guy is trying to be as affirmatively polite as he possibly can while still saying, “Nope.” His essay has also been banned repeatedly for “hate speech” and “undermine the dignity and rights of transgender and/or binary individuals.” ~ Beege]
