All of that makes me shake my head with sadness (at the absurdity that we humans seem to delight in inflicting upon ourselves). :c/
And not due to any aversion to those who would wish to be identified as being something other than male or female - I had spared this a little thought a fair while back - to a mixed reception).
Rather I have to similarly unreservedly reject the notion that a person should face incarceration for the absurdity of witholding the title that another demands.
I would balk at blue-blooded dignitaries entertaining the notion, let alone judges, doctors - or yes - even transgender individuals.
I do wonder what would result from a poll of non-male-and-female participants over what kind and degree of punishment non-compliant individuals would face. I would strongly suspect that most of them would have a lot more humanity than the televised primadonnas who would claim to represent them.
Thank you kindly for sharing.
that's really the thing here. when we start seeing actual Senate Hearings over all this crap, that's when you know it's really gone too far. I also don't doubt for a second that many trans people would also reject the attention whores who claim to represent them. It would have been great to see at least a few of them also have their say at these hearings.
But that's one more sign as to how far it's devolved. Sort of like the "man made climate change" issues. The politicos only invite those who support the arbitrary legislation they're trying to ram through, and actively work to block those who would offer any "difference of opinion" that would debunk and reveal how truly outrageous their positions actually are.
Luckily for the rest of us, Jordan Peterson seems to be a one-man small army in that regard, which is why the regressive "powers that be" try so hard to denounce him as a "racist bigoted whack job". This, of course, is their "calling card" for pretty much anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly buy into all their bullshit.
Very much agreed, the media finds the most ridiculous people on both sides and tries to pull us into a polarized debate, and then in our effort to fight against the other side which we’ve seen an exaggeration of, we become the exaggeration on the other side.
