What The First "Nonbinary" American Wants The Supreme Court To Know About Transgenderism
This was all obvious at the beginning. Well, not the autogynephila part. That was an actual discovery of psychology.
But even the most minimal thought about these issues leads immediately to the recognition that no males are women and no females are men--and no amount of feeling unhappy about your sex can change that. Feeling not-at-home in your body is unfortunate, and generally deserving of compassion (though often: this sort of thing is used as a weapon to terrorize non-progressives). But feeling as if you're x doesn't make you x. If you're born male, you'll die male--barring some amazing breakthrough in medical technology in the future.
In fact, it's not even accurate to say that "even the most minimal thought" reveals this stuff. It's more accurate to say: without a truly extraordinary amount of anti-thought, it's all entirely obvious. Only a massive brainwashing initiative, aided by the airtight political groupthink of the progressive left could possibly lead someone to believe that one can change one's sex--let alone by merely saying it's so, or feeling it's so, or dressing differently.
Look, their support of this tangle of sophistries and nonsense alone is sufficient to make the Dems, in their current form, unsupportable. For all the insanities pedaled by the right in my lifetime--and they've been legion--it's never advanced a single idea as patently absurd as transgender mythology. How a major party in the U.S. can declare that some men are women...and that anyone who doubts it is the moral equivalent of a racist...is entirely beyond me. And how so many people can look right at this and treat it as some kind of normal difference of opinion...I just can't fathom it. Believing in magical sex-transmogrification is not some small, inconsequential thing. Hell, it's actually more rational to believe in actually magic magic than it is to believe in this kind of weird word-magic (or social magic). We know that words (and social interactions) don't have this kind of power. Saying that x simply doesn't make it that x. This is just about the most basic fact about the universe, confirmed at every instant, by our every interaction with reality.
How is that, with a bunch of people claiming that night is day...and shrieking that I'm a racist (or whatever) for disagreeing...somehow I'm the weird one?
