Your comment reminds me of the quote attributed to Sir Charles Napier, ninetheenth century British commander-in-chief of India, when Hindu priests protested his criminalizing the practice of sati claiming it was a custom the British should respect.

"But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property."

In re your sati comment, I feel the same way about the transgender insanity.

“”You have to call me madam even though I am obviously a male, because I think I’m a woman”

“no, I think you are a man in a dress. I have to call you sir. Why do you get the right to deny MY reality?”
