There is way more at stake than the individual egos of each person battling gender dysphoria. The collective well being of our society and the fragile emotional state of many children for starters. Kids are impressionable. And I’m not willing to risk their mental health for the sake of yours or anyone else that supposedly is really struggling with gender dysphoria. And don’t tell me that non-trans people don’t all of a sudden become trans. That’s right, they don’t. But impressionable kids who are looking for a sense of belonging anywhere they can find it will try anything for acceptance. It has already ruined lives. You know this.
You bring up that people for centuries have dealt with such? How did it turn out for them in those civilizations? They were not accepted. More times than not, they were shamed and outcast. Have you seen Matt Walsh’s What Is A Woman? I haven’t. But from what I understand, he speaks with people from cultures all around the world that seem to believe in traditional gender roles. They believe those roles have shaped the cultures in which they live. And I’m not saying people like you should be stoned. We live in a modern society and I agree, we have learned some things. But this is your cross to bear. And yours alone. Meaning, you recognize that for the greater good, you carry this burden alone, and not depending on others to make you feel valid. Live your life. Be whatever you want. But when you show up to a job interview with your Adam’s apple, then wear a suit and not a dress. When you go use the bathroom, use the one that is in keeping with how the masses perceive you. As I’ve said before, the onus to adjust is on you, not the rest of us.
As for the nasty things we’ve said, I want to make sure you know I’ve said those things to you because I find you to be a little mouthy, know-it-all, liberal, twerp and not because you’re battling gender dysphoria (assuming you really are). I’ve never bullied anyone for being different and if you talked to people I grew up with, they’d tell you that I often stuck up for kids that were outsiders. The difference is those outsider kids I stuck up for never had me go to bat for them and then rubbed everyone else’s nose in it. They deserved a champion because of their meekness. When you act like a victim and fail to understand the bigger movement you’re behind, you’re essentially rubbing everyone else’s nose in it instead of dealing with your own internal shit yourself like a …man(?).
I will reiterate that I’m sorry for your condition. But I will not budge on what I feel is the bigger issue - the normalizing of potentially detrimental rhetoric from those on your side.
