1/ I have a dilemma. Only women who have not been aborted can enjoy the woman’s right to bodily integrity. That is an unfortunate discrimination against all the unborn women who are aborted and are deprived of those same rights or even the right to choose their own existential destiny.
2/ So here's a proposal to legalize abortion only after 9 weeks gestation, when the gender is known, and only on boys! Surely men, who are not child-bearers, have no say in the fate of future generations and it would save us a whole lot of toxic masculinity along the way.
3/ Gods be damned, that poses a new dilemma. What if those unborn boys would later identify as female? Then we’d be guilty not only of taking away their rights but also by having mis-gendered them. To prevent any of these bigoted transgressions, we must allow these potential future transwomen the ability to discover, establish and express their gender first.
4/ Yet I fear this brings us to an impossible conundrum, because in order to guarantee the rights of the unborn woman, trans or cis, we must restrict abortion for the existing woman, which is in itself a violation of women's rights. We must therefore conclude, that on our journey to the progressive utopia and the quest to protect women’s rights universally, we’ve arrived at a place where the violation of women’s rights is inevitable and depending on the philosophical proclivities of the moment, perhaps even preferable.

Abortion is not a right and gender identity does not really exist.
