The trans superiority narrative

The trans superiority narrative is a declaration of separation, in essence, of war. In order to accept it, one must reject objective reality, as George Orwell wrote in 1984:

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

The narrative is not merely a cry for “trans rights,” but an in-your-face rejection of objective reality that begins before birth. We are now told fetuses know in the womb they are trans, and mentally ill parents are encouraged to believe their infants have similar knowledge and must be transitioned lest they inevitably kill themselves. “Do you want a trans son or a dead daughter?” supposed therapists and doctors demand.

What portion of the population “identifies” as trans? That’s a difficult question, largely because the only way to determine if anyone is trans is if they are willing to identify as such, and that identification is subject to immediate change. There is no more a biological “trans” sex than there are any of the 57 or so other “genders.” Politifact’s surmise is in line with others:

In reality, current data shows that the number of people who identify as transgender is very low: between 0.5% and 1.6% of American adults, with slightly higher numbers among young people. Yet when asked, people overestimate the number of trans people, with one survey showing the public thinks as many as 1 in 5 people — or 21% of the population — is transgender.

It's likely .5% is high, and equally likely the young, manipulated by peer pressure, by the common identity confusion of youth and well-meaning—or not—adults accounts for any higher number. Why would anyone imagine 21% of the population is trans? Because of the prevalent trans superiority narrative.

That’s because leftists are not to be trusted ever at all.

“Insanity is not superiority.”

Worth repeating.
