Transgender Privilege: Why Must We All Be Forced to Bow to It?
By Philip Carl Salzman April 17, 2019
 

The subject of this article is transgenderism, the advocacy for and encouragement of individuals changing genders. It is not about individuals who have engaged, to one degree or other, in changing genders. These are our follow citizens and fellow community members, who should have the same rights, and are due the same consideration, as all of our fellow citizens and community members.

Transgenderism is said to be a response to gender dysphoria, which the American Psychiatric Association defines as follows:

    Gender dysphoria involves a conflict between a person's physical or assigned gender and the gender with which he/she/they identify. People with gender dysphoria may be very uncomfortable with the gender they were assigned, sometimes described as being uncomfortable with their body (particularly developments during puberty) or being uncomfortable with the expected roles of their assigned gender.

Excellent article. If you are going to give dysphoria legal legitimacy, then you lose all basis for law even existing.

Don't bow to it.

[Smokin Joe]

Don't bow to it.

Yep. Just say "No.".

Why would I bow to people who have problems figuring out who/what they are to the point of self mutilation and/or play acting?

Fifty years ago you could find only a tiny percent of adult Americans who would agree with the "transgender" nonsense.
Now we have a situation where in a recent poll 70% of Americans approved of transgenders in the military.
What the hell is going on in the country where a majority of adults say people of one sex can be members of the other sex simply by saying they are?
Who says society has progressed in the last fifty years?

We are sacrificing this nation on the altar of cool and we have become it's slave.

Except when it becomes the dominating majority, it's no longer cool, but tyranny.

Right out of the cloward-piven collectivists playbook.

That is, if you believe the poll results really reflect American's opinions instead of being used to apply social pressure to agree with the stated result. Like not laughing with the laugh track, people don't want to seem dumb, left out, or antisocial, so they can be conned into a wide variety of behaviours and beliefs they would adamantly oppose given the opportunity to think and consider those thoughts and behaviours independently, without social or media (especially media) influence.
Polls are just one tool to achieve that result.

It is no secret that polling the Castro District might achieve different results than a Bible Baptist enclave, so it isn't hard to match the demographic with the desired results of the people who hired the pollsters.
