“That’s what the leftist apologists don’t seem to understand. Granting that “right” to transgenders to inherently deprives others of their rights.”
There’s a hierarchy of rights. For example, trans rights trump lesbian rights. Black people’s rights trump poor whites. It’s all about where you stand on the discrimination hierarchy.
I went looking for an article I’d read about why Ellen DE generous no longer identified as a lesbian. It’s as if it has been scrubbed from the Internet. The reason was because trans had trumped lesbianism. A trans must be accepted as a woman and if a trans approached a lesbian for sex, then she was supposed to accept. (Aside from the fact that many people regardless of predilection often turn down requests for sex. That’s not supposed to happen with “trans” women because they’re special.) The very fact that there were lesbians cancelled out the fact that there were men who were claiming to be women. The two were not compatible in the LGB world so the old hat plain Jane lesbian had to go. There used to be a lot of articles on the subject. Can’t find a one now.
