Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

[Suppressed Poet]

I know you're specifically talking about transgender here. How does society determine what they should or should not be? Is it really up to society to determine who we are? Does that mean that society determines who YOU are? If society decided you were supposed to be someone else what happens then?

Also, how do you think gender dysphoria should be handled other than allowing the person to transition?

If a person is distraught with their right arm and feels like it doesn’t belong on their body, it seems to me the go-to solution isn’t to amputate the arm.

I’m not a medical doctor; just a man with some common sense opinions. I think treatment should first include counseling the patient was born with their mind & body. We don’t get to choose that, but we do get to choose how we live our lives. Surely most can find solutions without permanently altering their bodies. And hell, if it’s an adult that wants to be trans and chooses to chop off their dick to appear more woman like after all prior treatment options have failed….go for it. This is America. You be you.

My religious take…God made us in his image, and that is a beautiful thing. When people reject who they are and try to play God themselves, the outcome isn’t going to be what they want.

Politically what I reject is compelling people by force (law) to address people by their preferred pronouns. I reject biological males competing in women’s sports. I reject children being mutilated and/or pumping them full of hormones to change themselves into what they will never be. I reject biological males invading safe spaces for women (like women’s bathrooms).
