@sim @SirCandinavian @galena Well, there is a whole lot going on and really none of it is any good.

Back when I was young, the whole thing was "We're born this way, just let us live our lives like everyone else does." then later on, they came up with this sort of gender abolitionist movement (POST MODERNISM) and suddenly it's all a choice -- just like the Conservatives said the whole time -- well done, they just justified all the discrimination we ever faced. Well, I didn't choose shit when it comes to being trans, I ended up wasting half my life trying to force myself not to be, but lies are toxic.

The unfortunately fact about being trans is that we'll never truly fit in anywhere, and never really just be the sex we need to be -- all we can do is get as close as we can and find a way to live with it. But that way can't be to trample other people's rights, and herein lies the problem with the whole movement, it picks and chooses which rights to hold up and which to squash -- certainly with lesbians, they've decided to squash their rights.

Then there is the whole hypocrisy behind the entirety of the trans "rights" movement -- if there is nothing wrong with being trans, then we can't we be transwomen, why the whole "transwomen are women, full stop" line, unless there was something wrong with being different? For all the hug boxes, we KNOW we're different, what irritates me is the built-in assumption that this difference is wrong -- but if it's the immutable trait that it definitely is for anyone who isn't just putting on a costume to piss off dad, then whatever "wrongness" it may or may not possess doesn't bear down upon the individual -- it wasn't their choice after all.

The whole thing is unraveling at incredible speeds -- already the Cons are going on about the "slippery slope" of gay marriage, and that's a direct consequence of the post modernist influences in the movement.
