Since the publication of Times recent cover story The Transgender Tipping Point, there has been a spate of conservative op-eds in retort, including ones featured in the Chicago Sun-Times and the Wall Street Journal, and online on conservative websites such as The Federalist. The attacks follow a predictable set of talking points that rely on the reader having no scientific knowledge of the issue.

It is a mental illness. Plain and simple. It should never be encouraged, ever. If these leftists truly love their fellow man, they should help them improve their mental state. Not encourage it.
what happens when the younger generations become bored or too wealthy or the gov take care of them.
they have no real cause, so they make up nonsense.
We had world war 2 with indoctrinated normals. Not a happy prospect.
Let's be sure to have answers.
Here's all you need:
Transgender? There isn't such a thing.
I agree. Mental illness. Emotional derangement. Spiritual deception. Choose at least one.
Even to play the game of seeking some sort of "scientific" and/or "medical" basis for this abomination is to lose from the start.
Pretty hard to make that stick when the institutions that DEFINE what mental illness is and is not say "it's not."
Sure, if you don't mind losing....
Indeed!
Exactly. From a scientific POV the basic concept of gender is a internal mental state or personal belief that is not discoverable beyond personal disclosure. Biological sex is demonstrable.
Not if you can demonstrate intellectual malfeasance on the part of the one making the "scientific" argument.
Pretty hard to make that stick when the institutions that DEFINE what mental illness is and is not say "it's not."
And He answered and said, 'Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female.'"
-- Matthew 19:4 (NASB).
Sorry, but man's definitions in such matters concern me not at all.
If you think that it's possible, at this point, to "argue" or "analyze" this situation away, on human terms, with respect, you are seriously mistaken. Man is being given over to his delusions.
You can’t win, arguing against whackjobs.
They need to look down, (check the package)
If they have one, they’re a male, if not, they’re a female, and go with the birth certificate. If they can’t go with the physical facts...they’re freaks...mental cases.
You don’t need to win the argument with them, you need to embolden normal people to take the same positions.
Then go and bury your talent....
First, you have to CONVINCE the normal people!
The article mentioned androgen insensitivity syndrome, which basically produces women with XY chromosomes and an approximation of female plumbing. They would probably be best off not using the men’s room.
No, they got queers delisted.
I believe "Gender identity disorder" is still valid .
We should start a foundation and start taking contributions from liberals to help save our children. Save them the horrors of Gender Identity Disorder.
Well then, toilets are based on biological sex.
Bad things happen when governments start pretending things to be true that aren’t true. Here are a few that have and will cause endless problems until the pretending stops:
- Pretending that black people aren’t people so that slavery could be justified.
- Pretending that Jewish people aren’t people so that the holocaust could be justified.
- Pretending that preborn people aren’t people so that abortion can be justified.
- Pretending that homosexuality is normal so that perversion can be justified.
Yes. They themselves are mentally ill and sinfully deceived.
