Should a transgendered cabinet member be lauded as "the first 'woman' department head of such and such department"?

Because they understand, too, that gender is a social construct and that reinforcement of gender roles can often be a hinderance toward societal progress. They know that woman isn't a "feeling."
What is a woman?

Good ol' Trad. Much like IMCC, he never misses a chance to look like a jackass.
I like how you start by pointing out victimhood and then finish with victimhood of your own. Nice touch.
Nope. You called his crocodile tearing for women “victimhood”. Then you did exactly what he did for non whites and Muslims working with Trad.
Ah, I see how you misunderstood. I was calling out his bigotry, not his crocodile tears.
You called out his “victimhood” on behalf of the women. And then played the victim on behalf of non-whites and Muslims. It’s no big deal.
Such a non-answer.
Someone who became a "woman" in his adulthood really didn't experience all the discrimination and cultural barriers that confront actual girls.
The shit people worry about on here will never cease to amaze me.
No but they likely experienced other kinds of discrimination.
Your point is a fair one but the pc mob won't allow that type of discussion because there aren't really good answers. Just bumper sticker type slogans.
You're right, someone who grew up feeling like they were in the wrong body probably hasn’t had to deal with much.
Jesus, dude, at some point in your life try to have a little empathy.

Relatively pointless argument to engage in since this is a really subjective query. A lot of people probably wrap up in the notion of woman the sex of woman itself. You can try to convince them to think otherwise... but I just don't see why it should matter either way when it comes to Trans people or their rights.

Empathy is always an ok thing. Always.
Empathy though is not weakness or even agreement. A person in suffering deserves our empathy even if we may disagree.
Doesn’t really matter to me. I think the “be whoever you want” has jumped the shark but so long as we aren’t championing their choice to identify to an opposing gender it doesn’t matter if they are doing a good job.
If I was a woman, I would have been born one. Plain and simple.
As for “what is a woman” or “what does it feel like to be a woman” in a biological sense is rather inexplicable from my perspective. It. Just. Is. And this is frustrating to me because I’d love to articulate to others (saliently) the miasma of crud in my brain that constitutes gender dysphoria.
I’m something other imo, but feel much more whole (and comfortable) blurring the line, living and wending my way in society as a perceived female with genuine intentions——-not as an act or facade per se.
As for the assistant health secretary, I think I’d love to get her in a healthy exercise and nutrition program.
If you can’t see that it’s partly a political pick, then I don’t what to tell you, but really couldn’t care less either.

On the surface I agree with you.
With regards to transgender, I don't agree with validating mental health issues by cutting up a person's body. IMO this does not solve the underlying problem.
weirdly enough, I don't have a problem with body modification, I just don't think it should be seen as a "fix" for gender dysphoria. It is simply a cosmetic, elective procedure.
Alright I'm curious now too and I am not being an ass here. So I'm asking your opinion because I respect it.
Do you think women whom have been women their whole life would ever have an issue with a trans woman becoming the first woman president or whatever position? Would they be bitter knowing it was really a man that had become a woman later in life?
Levine pulled her mother out of a nursing home after issuing a state-wide order forcing them to accept COVID patients. File her under the "What's good for thee" drawer.
I really don't give a shit. Do what you have to do but don't be a dick and do your job, whatever that is.
Trans women aren't women,.. If they truly were women they wouldn't need to be identified as trans women... Also, my boxers are fitting comfortably at the moment.
Gays used to be considered mentally ill according to the DSM. I don't think the DSM argument holds much water.
