After the collapse to come, anyone think the rebuilding will put a return to this nonsense as a priority?

I’m thinking “no”.

Another classic example of what Francis Schaeffer said: When there are no absolutes to govern society, society becomes the absolute.

How in Christ's name does this benefit anyone? What if someone wants to change his birth certificate to reflect his desire to be a turnip, a murderer, thief, or child abuser? Why would that not be just as valid?

There’s no such thing as “transgender”, gender is fixed at the moment of conception and the x/y chromosomes are in nearly every cell of your body. Physical mutilation and chemical pollution does not change a person’s gender. There is no reason society should accommodate every transient claim of “identity”, a psychological condition.

Rachel Dolezal was a trailblazer. It can’t be much of a leap from choosing your sex to choosing your race. And if the goodies are big enough, the most aggrieved minority population is about to explode.

At birth, no one is capable of deciding what one’s “gender” is, so this is obviously a retroactive thing. Any time in your life you can change your “gender”.

I’ve got a better idea. NO gender at all! That way no one can claim discrimination on account of gender. You are just human, that’s all.

But of course that won’t happen. This way the left has divided people into discrete groups that it sets at war with the other groups.

Is “demiGod” a gender choice? If so, that’s what I pick, and you better respect it you peons.

Preferred vs. Actual. Does anyone see what’s wrong with this.
