I disagree. The Trans agenda is distinct in that it demands complete redefinition of very basic ways in which we see the world around us. The Trans agenda is fragile and brittle.
It appears to be highly dependent on maintaining fantasy and wishful thinking, without regard to the contradictions everyone sees in front of them. That agenda seems incapable of showing compassion and/or empathy for anyone who is not also Trans. It’s very dangerous and destructive movement. Extraordinarily self centered.
I agree with you.
For literally decades, the homosexuals have said: “Don’t try to fix me! I’m not broken! I was born with same-sex attraction! You could say that God made me this way. No, I don’t need therapy! No medical professional is going to change me and make me “normal”. This is just the way I am.”
Then the transgenders come along and sing a different song: “I need to be fixed! I am broken! I was born the wrong sex! God screwed this up, but I know better, and I know how I can be healed. I need medical attention! Lots of medical attention. Surgery! Hormones! Therapy! I can be re-made into the other sex — the proper sex — and then I will finally be normal. I shouldn’t have to live the way I am.”
The two schools of thought are polar opposites. I suppose one may be able to leverage some advancement from the other, but only with weak-minded people. The whole transgender situation, in my mind, weakens all of the “gay rights” that have been put forth since about 1969.
What the person puts forward is logical, it is sometimes expressed as the window “Overton Window”. They push too far so that they can compromise on what was once a “hill to die for” becomes compromise. Like Russia v Ukraine. Since Ukraine won’t give up the land Russia originally wanted back in its control, Russia takes much more, then the idea that they get the “Donetsk” is papatable. The further the insanity is pushed, the more “normalcy” or the status quo loses.
Like insisting that two men or two women can get married?
