Whats the real issue here? If bob wants to become bob....boblia how does that affect you?
It only affects me if the government penalizes me when I call Boblia "Bob" or when I chose to tell him he is a man when in FACT he is a man. Let's hope we never get to that point where we are penalizing people for stating facts.

Ah, the slippery slope.
The government hasn't started to penalize people.
So now my next question:
Im rather young for my current position and often times we'll get a new hire that'll append "sir" to things when speaking to me.
I hate it and the first time it happens I let em know this aint that kind of environment and I'd really prefer it if they didn't.
It always stops. Some times people slip up depending on how used to saying they are, but for the most parts coworkers respect my desire to not be called sir.
Now, change "sir" to "ma'am". Would that actually kill you? To respect someone's preference?

This is now possible and there are people who want to do it. So who are we as individuals to question the desires of other individuals.

MY mind reels from reading your post Mr.Rinder. But yep, I get your point. You point is anarchy I guess. You're not suggesting that something as small as a person changing their birth certificate is akin to anarchy are you? Or maybe just a small step on the road to it. Oh, by the way, what if the government requires a drivers license to drive on the road to anarchy?

Here is a question, if a transgender person that says she is a she rapes a woman with her penis and in the process her semen is left inside the victims vagina and the transgender person that identifies as a woman is convicted of rape should "she" be imprisoned with other women who are biologically women? Also, can this person cause the court to rule their rape of a woman invalid since they are identified as a woman and as such their penis is identified as a vagina and can therefore not produce semen but I suppose only vaginal liquids?
Is technology caught up with that?
I think you are under the assumption that all of these people have had sex reassignment surgery. That is not the case with this issue as far as I can tell.
Nobody on the left is doing the math anymore.
Completely incompatible ideologies are lumped into this culture where everybody can be whatever they want
and can force everybody else to be what they want too. Never mind that the ideas are complete opposites.
