It's telling that, in order to claim that science is on their side, trans activists need to bully actual scientists into silence about what the data and human experience actually suggests.
According to legend, Galileo defiantly muttered and yet it moves after the Inquisition forced him to abjure his Copernican views. Although unverified, this story became a popular anecdote in the history of science, giving voice to the passionate love for inquiry and truth, even in the face of dogmatic threats of violence.
If the transgender movement has its way, we shall soon see many more like Galileo, forced by todays ideologues and inquisitions to deny the plain truth of science and reason. For example, Ray Blanchard, a leading researcher on human sexuality, was recently suspended from Twitter for the clinically correct statement that Transsexualism and milder forms of gender dysphoria are types of mental disorder. After an outcry, his account was restored, but the message had already been sentthoughtcrime will be punished, even, perhaps especially, if it is true.

It’s impossible to do science, or have a meaningful political debate; if you don’t first nail down your operational definitions. Sex is biological, “gender” is a social-psychological construct. What does “gender change” mean, when “gender” is whatever anyone wants it to be, at any given moment? Even “sex-change” is a misnomer; because no one knows how to actually do that yet (I’m allowing for the possibility that some future genetic technology will make it possible). At least “sex-change” implies some cutting and sewing. “Gender change” could be all in the mind of the changeling.
That action is a typical tactic of the Homosexual community. They claim that they were born that way and then say there is nothing wrong in their heads. It’s one or the other, they cannot have both.
Just my .02.
They’re born that way (who would choose to be in a group recently ostracized and criminalized?). They see nothing wrong in their heads. Value judgements are in the head of their critics.
Yes, Idiocracy has been realized.
