You can believe whatever the hell you want, it’s a free country. They just want to be respected and treated equally by their society. The harder people like you push back the more force there will be by our institutions to regulate education in our schools and workplace. Cause and effect
You keep on indirectly saying 2 things at once.
1. You can believe whatever the hell you want, it’s a free country.
2. They just want to be respected and treated equally by their society.
I know why you say #1, it sounds good to say. However, the established notion of #2 is at an impasse with it.
In the perspective of the trans-activist community, the only way they feel respected and treated equally is for me, and society, to change our definitions of biological and psychological institutions engrained in our DNA and bodies through millions of years of an evolutionary process. They're holding everyone up, with absolutely no verifiable reason, and if we don't obey we're awful people. Such a demand is not only clearly void of any sort of objective evidence, and it takes oh so much gaul and audacity to demand everyone believe what you believe, no questions asked, and then hold contempt for them if they don't. It's truly reminiscent and in cahoots with the Millenial "not fair, everyone gets a trophy" generational psychological effect.
So, if I can't disagree without being deemed something horrible, I really don't have the diverse freedom to think other things. The trans-community holds no respect for us, free-thinking individuals. There's an onus of proof, and if you don't have it, which the trans-community by definition doesn't, they need to humble themselves and understand why people might not believe their ideology. I do so when I have theories that don't have the necessary amount of proof, it just takes humility, which activists of any kind, along with keyboard/Twitter/Media warriors in our society avoid like the plague. They're too busy trying to be right and grab power. To look inward and address yourself honestly is a weakness, because hey, the opposition is just that evil and mean... right?
Meanwhile, with zero evidence and frame of reference, the idea that they aren't being "treated equally" is false. How are they treated unequally?
