I do not oppose the concept of gender dysphoria or incongruence.

I do believe it’s a mental health issue.
And I also believe its basis is a mental construct; namely what is a man and what is a woman.

I’ve always stated this.
And if adults decide to want to be something else (or adopt that which they believe they are), that’s completely up to them.

I don’t think ...[text shortened]... let-issue is right-wing lunacy, perpetuated by small-balled men with anxiety and performance issues.

I'm an Orangutan, and I have the avatar to prove it.

(1) Intersex people, having elements of both genders, know themselves which gender they are meant to be.

(2) I believe medical approval for this in the overwhelming majority of cases should not be given.

I have not been asked to make any laws on this, and I would not presume to govern over others without being invested with some authority.

Just as such, while I would personally want to roll back divorce laws incredibly, and ideally divorce could exist only in circumstances of abuse, adultery, or abandonment, I do not think it would be appropriate for me to legislate that for the whole of a society in which I am in the minority.

So, TL;DR:

I wouldn't illegalize it if I had the power because I do not have the mandate.

If you woke folk adherents had been paying attention...

The starting point to this debate has less to do about trans this and self-identity that, and more to do about vultures looking to exploit weaknesses in the social structure.
It's about self centered men and women who are more than willing to take advantage of the weak minded and their dream feelings. Their only " ...[text shortened]... predators) this so called 'complex issue' is nothing more than a smoke screen they can hide behind.
It’s authoritarian phobefolk like you who are utilising the smoke screen of pretending to give a flick about the safety of women and children to pour your bile over some of your favourite targets.
Namely anyone who does not comply with your fairytale mandated ideal of bi gender and heterosexual (who’s the daddy) stereotypes.
Get your idiotic judgemental snouts out of other peoples lives.

It's a smart tactic to try to pretend issues you cannot win are completely irrelevant.

But politics is downstream from culture... and it's not like we are even talking about some obscure point of culture, right? This is political culture.
We’ve already won, people like you just refuse to smell the coffee. People deciding how to define themselves is the natural order and the corrupting influence of ancient fairytales are rapidly losing the ability to pervert and obstruct those choices.
WOKE UP!

I too would just once like to see some official figures or a link to a court case.
I don’t disregard peoples genuine concerns regarding the issue I’m just sick of Phobes using it as a stick to beat the transgender community with.
Not always but often you find it’s the same people who regard women as naturally subservient to men and believe that a parent or guardian has right to physically assault children who are the most vocal and the most ‘concerned’ about this issue.

Dumb means unable to speak, you moron.

And I wrote monkey as an exaggeration. Get with the goad, or crawl back to the trailer.
