And maybe there is some sort of Salem Witch era thing where no one wants to appear to their neighbors to be on the side of Satan/be against some group that might have had a hard time once? I think most people hear "Trans" and think, yeah, we weren't good to intersex people once. They think, all this glitter stuff might help them. But, i…
And maybe there is some sort of Salem Witch era thing where no one wants to appear to their neighbors to be on the side of Satan/be against some group that might have had a hard time once? I think most people hear "Trans" and think, yeah, we weren't good to intersex people once. They think, all this glitter stuff might help them. But, intersex people are a sex, they are not confused about who they are, and they are generally are people who want to go about their lives without upending society.
Your average person is not thinking that middle aged mentally ill AGP men are being allowed to set policy. Of course, I think that the mentally ill should be treated well and that they have the same rights as everyone else - that they can be helped to be productive members of society, but I don't think they should be able to dictate what happens in schools or influence the Supreme Court to drop "sex" as a category in favor of the GI religious theory of "gender". The kids are being groomed by both the actively self-serving malicious or mentally ill, and by folks who just don't get it. A free and more balanced media could help but it feels like the USSR just now.
People are not even aware that they are promoting an ideology. Somehow, they've been convinced to "use their pronouns" in their bios and their emails. "It won't cause you any inconvenience and it will help others so much" is the line. But, "gender" is not a thing. It is not anything scientific. Yet, this cult ideology has gotten so far.. and done so much damage. I find it shocking over and over again that people consider it a category in legal disputes, our white house, and that it is even discussed in government and our highest court. Shouldn't the Supreme Court and the White house have to agree that it is real before setting policy/deciding cases based on it? I do not question that there are real people with a real mental illness, but I do not "believe" in the ideology that has grown up around it. Nor, would most Americans if presented honestly with all the facts. Being mentally ill in some manner does not mean you cannot function in a job. And, holding a job isn't proof that one is not mentally ill in some way, or that that person has a fetish. Of course, insisting that humanity agrees that your fetish is "truth" no matter what the harm to the young is not acceptable.
