Why don’t they just do whatever’s done when a woman marries?
Oh, there are tons of reasons that people change their names, it's not a new convention, especially in entertainment. However, in the other cases there has never been this delusion that the person's old name was somehow harmful to them. You'd think that, considering how proud they always are to be trans, they'd be willing to acknowledge that they
used to be called their "deadname". They're not fucking divine entities who are bound up in a true name that holds literal, physical power over them. Even if you believe in troonism, the person who was hired to play Juno MacGuff, the person listed in the credits, the person who was nominated for an Oscar was named "Ellen" and the contemporary paperwork and reviews will reflect that, even if the name has since changed, and logically it shouldn't be wiped away.
But in her Wikipedia page they really do go out of their way to avoid saying "Ellen" (they simply couldn't avoid it in the references section though), really only mentioning it in regards to her birth and her new name. If you look at someone like
Cat Stevens they really don't even try to avoid saying "Steven Demetre Georgiou" or any variation thereof despite the fact that he hasn't been called that in fifty years and was never known as "Mr Georgiou" or anything like that, simply because it would be dishonest to call him "Cat" or "Yusuf" for his early life.
I believe you both are missing the point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the issue isn't the abortion itself, it's the fact that once a mother in China discovers her unborn child to be female, the chances of abortion are exponentially higher, if not guaranteed. This is likely due to the two-child policy. After all, a woman cannot lead a family. You need a son to continue the bloodline. This is why there are a lack of women in China, and why they opt to kidnap women from other countries.
It's about the statistics, not the act.
No, it's about the act. But it's not contradictory, feminists aren't opposed to aborting female fetuses, they're opposed to aborting fetuses
because they're female. Same way that feminists aren't against bosses firing their employees, but they are against them firing employees for being female. Or any number of things that are acknowledged as unfortunate, but necessary. This inability to distinguish between has really infested libfem ideology where you'll get people insisting that you can't be a feminist if you don't believe in these things that are similar to (but distinct from) actual women's issues.
