Transgender’s are just regular people, who through no fault of their own, have a brain that does not coincide with the physical wrapping.
Imagine if all “outsiders “ just accepted that.
I think everyone can accept they have an issue, but when we are forced to participate in their alternate reality then we kind of have a problem.
Isn’t anyone deemed different forced to live in an alternate reality from their perspective?
As I’ve said before, my mom was a polio victim. 30 some years before the Disability Act. We were thrown out of a store once because the owner feared my mom (full length brace + 2 Kenny Sticks/crutch) would fall and break something in the store.
People in general do not easily accept different.
Activism is necessary, because (unfortunately), force is the only way for someone different to gain equality.
I consider transgender a birthright.
It's rather different in this case.
A tiny group of people do live in this alternate reality and we are forced to affirm/verify their worldview which is based on delusions.
Delusion is merely your opinion.
Equal rights is not based on a number.

What's the diffeence between love and sexual reproduction?
Is hetero an expression of the former or the latter?
Wait did you just make an educational post highlighting how whataboutism is applied?
Pretty well done...

Your opinion on the topic is irrelevant.
There is more to humans than their sexual reproduction organs, you claim there isn't. I guess you are speaking from personal experience?
Could be due to limited mental capacities while exploring "self" beyond the physical limitations. It takes evolved brains for such endeavor, you're just showing where you're stuck on this evolutionary path....

What exactly has been said that you find 'unethical', specifically? Too often nothing said was offensive, but is judged, or reported as hateful. Usually, it's a moderator of a service or board that decides.
Please let us know what you think was offensive, and we can decide if it is, and if we should dial it back.
As far as changing pronouns and new language. I don't have to conform to every standard that is suddenly introduced with a heavy hand and a determination that 'this is how it is now'. Really? I've been around a long time, and only the last few years has common language become to mean something else. And those of us that have been speaking English language the longest are expected to change. REALLY? WHY? Who says? YOU?
For example: The word 'woman' seems to have become something that should avoid being said. Its now better to use such words as 'menstrators' or ''chestfeeders'. Even when advertising products that are made for women! Stop the NONSENSE!
Often, I read a news story and I really cannot tell if the subject is a man or a woman or a transperson. Its confusing in reporting and speaking and just seems like insisting everyone conform to this new way, without consent, is the morally questionable stance.

So psychology is not something you take into account when forming your opinion?
there is a psychological level to it, and your assessment in that field is rather antiquated. If you even ventured those scientific fields, a total lack of awareness in it would also explain your dense approach on the topic.

Sure there is slight distinction between the two posts they imply diffrent meanings, considering the brute approach, such details are probably lost on some...
Do you know what whataboutism is?
I'd wager a guess and say it's the only rhetorical technique you're familiar with?
I am not the one who tries to avoid answering questions and goes to create some off topic conversation.

My position isn't an opinion.

Ah, Yes! An answer dictator.
If it’s not exactly the answer you’ve decided is the correct answer it doesn’t count.
You’re not the first.

Yes.
It is.

When you have body dysmorphia, be it anorexia or thinking you're a different gender, we can all agree that it is a mental illness.
The difference is how we approach the two.
With gender, we give in to the patients demands, we accept the false reality that they see when they look in the mirror.
We call the man in women's clothing, "Ma'am" and reaffirm the mental condition.
If we said to the person suffering from anorexia, "Hey fatty-fat, you need to shed a few pounds, lard-butt", we are being cruel.
Isn't it just as cruel to encourage a false body image for folks who "feel" that they are different genders?

True.
This alternate reality is what they call 'brain sex' and other similar terms. It's just a delusion and sane people will have a problem when they are asked to affirm it and participate pretending nothing is wrong.
