. . . Trans people do have a shared bond with each other unlike anything else. They are engaging in ritual self-abuse and feel somewhat exclusive for it. They feel "born again" (it's often compared to a rebirth experience) and only have each other to turn to. I've known a few and they were very intelligent people bordering on genius for several. Numbers are growing at a very explosive rate which indicates a society where people feel excluded and without a future. It's a symptom of deeper issues within Western societies as a whole.
Just as we saw large numbers of people embracing BLM there is a hunger for meaning, purpose and especially a feeling of connection. We keep losing ways and opportunities for young people to integrate and graduate to adulthood so they remain children much longer not really knowing how to "become adults". Nobody trained them, initiated them or sanctified them. Small wonder they turn to self-harm in so many different forms.
Let me add this; whether you disagree or support trans people in their choice the only answer is love and understanding. Anger only generates more of the same in return. If you want to see people stop hurting themselves love them. There is no other way forward for humanity.
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

It's a 'battle of the sexes', but how does one know which side/pronoun/gender to root for?

My transgender cousin reported that she was attacked by an irate man at her job and her coworkers had to help defend her.
My transgender friend reports being photographed and treated as a novelty when out in public by some individuals.

Here's a list (with photos) of Transsexual people murdered in 2022.
www.hrc.org...
On the evening of Feb. 9, Spampinato hung up his green apron and began his usual walk home from work along the shoulder of Route 273. He had almost reached Quigley Boulevard when he was killed in a hit-and-run, Delaware State Police said.
between 2013 and 2021, approximately two-thirds of transgender and gender non-conforming people with known killers had their lives taken by an acquaintance, friend, family member or intimate partner. Intimate partners specifically accounted for over a fifth (21%) of all known perpetrators – and it is likely this may even be an undercount.

He may have been walking like a sissy. People get killed for that...and a lot less..in parts of the country.
