Discipline starts with the individual
When transferable identity reaches the level of media coverage where it eclipses vital issues of government gone awry, its time to pull on the galoshes. Theres a sea of manure to slog through and one misguided person after another is being sucked into the mire only to find that it gets deeper and more noisome the further he ventures. (Yes, here will be invoked the proper grammatical use of the male gender term to indicate all persons. Political correctness be hanged.)
Behind the problem of individuals believing their identity is other than what they see in the mirror is that of self-absorption. Based on fallacious cultural constructs, they spend far too much time worrying about their emotional acceptance of birth characteristics. If you didnt get that, let me put it this way People who are disturbed by what they look like, how theyre made or from where they come will grasp at trends to create a personal alternate reality. And, for the moment, its fashionable to identify with a victim minority, even if its a contrived exclusiveness like trans-genderism and trans-racialism.
Plainly, people who want to be something other than what emerged from the birth canal are focusing on the all-important I and getting it wrong. They think theyre seeing the inner being but theyre actually seeing an imagined being.
Excellent article.
