You have to wonder if this is a plan to tear our society apart by emphasizing our differences. Presumably, those behind this have the conceit that they will be the ones who will rebuild our society in their image.
Most others, however, are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, IMO. They've bought into race essentialism and that straight white people are not only the root of all bad things in their lives, but de facto evil.
Jim Crow never died; he was rebranded as DEI. I'm open to alternate explanations but speak loudly because the noise from Thurgood Marshall whirling in his grave is at a high decibel level.
A landmark study found no change in suicide rates between pre-transition and post-transition teens.
Other reports indicate that most kids grow out of their sense of gender dysphoria.
Many (most?) have other mental health issues.
At this juncture, I've seen no evidence that transitioning minors has any benefit, and given that they are incapable of informed consent by dint of their age, I think it's time that America stop transitioning minors as well.
Adults? Other story. Personal liberty, personal responsibility.
Agreed on adults. You be you, and what not, just don't ask me to pay for it or compel me to say I like it. But children? Parents, educators, and doctors pushing this on under age kids is contemptible.
The obvious and simple solution is to stop labeling the changing rooms 'Men' and 'Women' and start labeling locker rooms 'Penises' and 'Vaginas'. That way it won't matter what "gender" people call themselves.
"Intersex" is in no way an argument supporting any transgender assertion.
My position on trans, in case it wasn't clear enough, is that I have no opinion on adults transitioning. Personal liberty and personal responsibility.
My objections are limited to two areas:
Minors, who definitionally cannot consent. The evidence is growing rapidly that transitioning minors is destructive, with no positive benefit, and massive harm, and that's before we get into the corruptness of the "racket.
Sports. Being born with an XY chromosome confers biological advantages that *cannot* be overcome with any chemical or surgical regime. It is an offense to women to allow trans women to compete against them.

I do believe that some intend this, as I wrote here:

"This will all collapse at some point. Reality has a habit of intruding." I think it has already begun, though naturally, the usual suspects are digging in. But today in NC the UNC regents are voting on basically throwing DEI out. and that will affect nearly 2 dozen state universities. Also, the Dispatch highlights a finding by, of all people, UK NHS, that gender dysphoria treatments, including (maybe especially) puberty locking treatments are doing more harm than good. The tide is turning. Sanity may yet return. https://ncnewsline.com/2024/04/11/unc-chapel-hill-trustees-could-begin-to-defund-dei-efforts/ and https://cass.independent-review.uk/home/publications/final-report/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=U%20K%20%20Report%20Calls%20into%20Question%20Youth%20Gender-Transition%20Treatments&utm_campaign=The%20Morning%20Dispatch_Paid%20Subscribers%20Only_U%20K%20%20Report%20Calls%20into%20Question%20Youth%20Gender-Transition%20Treatments
Most of Europe has ceased transitioning minors.

I've had a similar article planned for a while (similar, but different - still to come), but you hit the nail on the head: we're going backwards.
That said, if those pushing the agenda are trans-activists, are those of us resisting it transistors?
«If those pushing the agenda are trans-activists, are those of us resisting it transistors?»
I think you'll find a lot of resistance to that interpretation — at least currently.
... boo.
What, did you find my argument too circuitous, or do you think I should have amped it up more? It sparked your interest, anyway.
“… so they and their penises can be sent to women’s prisons”. Peter, you sure know how to turn a phrase! 😁
<apparently knows nothing about biological intersexuality>
<is probably not personally involved in non-binary issues, but seeks to make political hay from them or lusts for the power to make rules for others>
Ah, the "intersex" rationalization.
I covered that, here.

And I keep getting the earworm of Dude Looks Like a Lady running through my head...
