Is transing rebellion against the sexful deplorable places humans have taken sexuality? Like finding a new low? Proving that hell is indeed bottomless? That hell can always be made worse? Transing is the new way to rebel against what we have created and allowed? God help us all!

I would agree. I am reminded of something my husband points out from time to time: vice is easier than virtue, but it is less creative. Its easier to go down a mountain than up (although you have to watch your feet more on the way down because the momentum can lead you to slip.) Hell can always be made worse, but its the same playbook over and over. Acts of virtue, no matter how hard, resonate with life, light, and originality. Virtue takes us forward (the true "progress".)

yes, we all know it is way easier to destroy something than to build or create something. America was very hard to get to where we are today, destroying it is going pretty fast comparatively speaking.

For many, trans is all about sexuality and it's used to feed fantasies. So I don't think it's really rebellion against sexuality - I think it's just looking for the next "exciting" thing to continue to create euphoria.

Yes. And isn’t that what’s all about? The next thing needed to satisfy my dopamine fix at some point in time?

Also we are at an over all low in young people having sex and I know several young adults under 30 who claim virgin hood. Marriage at an all time low Young people swim in an ocean of pornography and way worse. And this trans movement. It’s all related.

I think that it has a great deal to do with a life largely mediated through screens rather than experienced face-to-face, yes.
