Those two in that picture you keep posting look like men to me, btw.
Really? The top one looks like a reasonably attractive woman imo, and the bottom one is a bit strange looking but I wouldn't say she looks like a man. If I saw those pics out of context I would definitely have assumed they were both women.

This is the country where concentration camps have been set up for gay people.
I don't think that quote denies the existence of transgender people. To be clear, I think at least one poster in the thread
did try to deny their existence (which, what?) but definitely not all people who say "a transgender woman is not really a woman" are denying the existence of transgender people.

I disagree. "Mainstream" views should not be censored from a political forum no matter how odious some may find them.
