Since the publication of Time‘s 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. However, when examined from a perspective of peer-reviewed medical consensus and law, these talking points fail utterly.

>Well then, toilets are based on biological sex.
That would be a yes.
It’s the indoctrinated “normals,” that don’t have our cultural revulsion for these practices.
they are every bit as revolted as anybody by these practices of deviancy, but are shrewd enough to see the cultural hegemony that may be attained by highlighting their ‘tolerance’ of the deviancy...
Power corrupts, and all that sort of thing...
So what are men going to do about it?
We can help ourselves by refusing to put money into the pockets of those who are pushing this agenda to the best of our ability, even if it means doing without. It doesn't do much good to talk about how bad this is, if we're still going to make those who push for this rich.
Freak of nature?
There probably is some tiny fraction of people whose sex is genuinely confused for real biological reasons. But of course that’s not what this is really about. If it were just that, it would be of little or no ideological interest to the left. What the left really wants is to normalize people with mental problems related to their sexuality, not biological problems. People with biological problems are just a tool that they (or at least this writer) will use to open the door to acceptance of the mental crowd. It’s just like how blacks were used in the push for gay rights.
All of the genetic, epigenetic and prenatal disorders listed here can cause sexual abnormality, it’s true. But:
All of them put together are still very rare and affect a miniscule number of people.
Most of the people who claim to be transgenders/transsexuals do not have these disorders.
Male castration and female genital mutilation, surgical maiming of primary and secondary sexual characteristics, and longterm hormonal inputs which do not match your genetic sex, do not treat or cure these underlying disorders.
A patient who is dysphoric or dissociated from the sex they were born, is -—after “gender reassignment” -— still dysphoric or dissociated from the sex they were born. There’s no healing of the underlying pathology.
The transgender movement doesn’t even pursue normality or restoration to natural health as a goal. They are all about preference and choice. They are driven, not by a therapeutic intent, but by radical gender theory. This is not a paradigm of hearing, but of psychological and social deconstruction.
Brynn,
If I catch a biological male in the bathroom with any female relative of mine I’ll beat the living tar out of him.

Unless you have complete androgen-insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), or 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, or Swyer syndrome, or genetic mosaicism, or 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase III deficiency, or progestin-induced virilisation, or prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol, or any of a wide range of endocrine-based variations that cause a person person to have chromosomes that don’t match their primary sexual characteristics or gender identity.
Do you have a cogent response?
These are rare deformities. A person born without arms also has a deformity. That doesn't mean we'd treat people who want their arms amputated as normal just because others are born that way.
Excellent!
A lot of this crap is funded by our own tax dollars. What are we gonna do, deny Uncle Sugar his pound of flesh?
As much as legally possible, such as through charitable donations. We can’t do 100%, but if we try, we might do enough to get the government and companies to listen to us.
