Well said. Those of us who aren’t woke, insane, radical leftists completely agree. I will add this and I know I’ve said it before- don’t insist that I engage in your delusions. If you feel like you want to play dress up or worse, cut off body parts, that’s your mental illness. Isn’t it said that engaging in one’s delusions is worse? I refuse to call you ma’am. And if you go the other way, I refuse to call you sir. You’re either born with a penis or a vagina. Cutting it off or adding one on doesn’t change your biology. XX, XY. That’s it. Until that changes, you’re born either a male or a female. I will not call you ma’am. Period…..By the way, if you were a ma’am, you could have one, but you can’t, so there’s that.

I'm reserving judgment on gender dysphoria. As I wrote, I can't know what's inside someone else's head, and but for the exceptions I listed, not my business. I do think there's a social contagion at the moment, driven by an exaltation, if you will, of being different in that regard, but that doesn't mean that dysphoria doesn't exist. Whether it should be dubbed a mental illness is its own matter, and again, I'm hands-off because I am not sufficiently versed on the matter.

Gender dysphoria is one thing. I get that. I take issue with their attitude that I must “respect” their delusion, but they don’t have to respect my beliefs and faith, to the point that I am brow beaten, in public. All I’m saying is I refuse to engage in their delusions.

"issue formal apologies to every biological female competitor who lost out to a transgender competitor."

They should issue formal apology to every biological female. Period.
