Transgenderism is a luxury status, like having a second house in the Caymans or a Bugatti Chiron. Having a transgender child is the new having a child prodigy. Except, the transgender child is less trouble, a dutiful eunuch sedated by hormone blockers.
Sure, there are poor & working class people who claim to be transgender as well, but they’re chasing after something they can’t afford.
Good summary. This is largely a phenomenon of wealthy white people. There was a boy in my kid’s kindergarten class whose parents decided he was a girl. Started putting dresses on him, grew his hair out, started calling him ‘her’, etc. It became the focus of their life and ultimately wound up with a narrative of how brave and courageous the parents were for letting the boy become his authentic self. The parents basked in all the attention and compliments regarding their ‘bravery’. I complained to the school and was told behind a closed door they didn’t agree with having to participate in the family’s delusion and couldn’t do anything about due to threats of lawsuits, etc. We pulled all of our kids out of the private school in protest. As aside, the kid was very oddly sexualized in how he was dressed and acted and I firmly believe his dad (a total weirdo scumbag hippie POS) was sexually abusing him. I suspect one day I’ll read an article about finding the parents’ heads in the kid’s freezer.
Your post is profound. I had never thought of it that way. Transgender status is really the 1% showing off their money and power, and rubbing the rubes’ faces in the fact that they (the 1%) can do what they want without consequence.
