This illustrates what I consider one of the great problems with the tranninsanity: The Loss of Young Adulthood.

When a person is a young adult, they are often searching for their identity. I certainly did. I studied at a great midwestern State University, which had a wide variety of courses and majors. With this great variety, I was able to study at the undergrad level, as well as take a few grad courses. I read widely - I was probably the most widely read of my circle of friends. It is true that much of what I read was worthless trash (SF, mysteries), but I kept busy reading and learning. I took language courses. I learned certain instruments. I dropped out of school for a time, to work in a factory, which taught me that I needed to go back to U to finish.

The young people immersed in this tranninsanity waste this precious time. They spend their precious youth on a quest to do the impossible - to change their sex. This is a huge waste of time, since this cannot be done. Rather, the attempts to stop a natural process - puberty - merely stops the development of normal intelligence at an adult level, normal sexuality, and normal maturation to adulthood.

This is the great loss - wasting 7, 8, 9 years on this attempt to do the impossible, damaging the body, destroying the intellect.

It's a horrible waste.

The worst aspect of all of this is the blatant gas lighting, in the true sense of the term. This is the most urgent issue of our time, or so I see it, wreaking havoc everywhere in irreversible ways. The other evening, I tried telling a friend (a gay man, a fellow Boomer) about posting the forthcoming PITT anthology on Facebook, after realizing that most people are completely oblivious to what they are actually "agreeing" with. One friend commented, Wow, I didn't know this! Thanks for posting. Another "friend" called me a "fascist" and claimed this was just "the right wing losing its mind" and that none of it is "real."

My friend blew up at me for attempting to discuss a "wedge issue." He insisted that none of what I didn't even get a chance to explain was "real." It was all fake internet outrage. And what business is it of mine anyway, what people want to do with their own bodies?

I cannot even begin to describe the rage I feel at being told this isn't "real" by people who haven't bothered to do their homework, call those who have bothered to learn about what this movement is doing "fascists" and believe it's "mean" to encourage young people to feel comfortable in their bodies, as opposed to mutilating them.

They are by all accounts, objectively wrong, yet refuse to listen in the guise of assuming they actually know more than (I) do.
