Then society doesn't need any of it.Whoop-dee-doo
okBut that doesn't mean they are getting rid of the concept of male and female.
There is several things truly baffling to me about all of this.So back in the day, a couple decades ago, I was under the impression that most trans kids knew they were a different gender than their assigned gender and that that knowledge was so powerful that it wouldn't matter whether they were instructed about the issue. But now it appears that people can discover they're transgender at any age - I know adults who are transitioning where no one in their life saw it coming from a mile away - and I find that puzzling. I also find this idea that we have to teach about gender identity (in a "You might actually be a boy/girl/neither!" sort of way, not a "Some people feel they are different from their assigned gender" way, the latter being about inclusivity and the first being, in my view, just downright confusing) to be puzzling. If they KNOW they're a different gender, why does someone have to teach them that? And if they DON'T know it already, then isn't teaching that confusing?
You really seem to be into making personal attacks.There is several things truly baffling to me about all of this.
The assumption that you, or anyone ever knows what is going on in someone else's brain; the lack of trust in other people because you think they can't know themselves; the hubris that you DO know them.
I didn't say anything about your personhood, I said you seem to have a predilection towards ad hominem replies, based on the ad hominem replies I see you making.An outlook that is based on an attack on someone's personhood has a problem with a personal attack?
I never said you did say anything about MY personhood. I'm saying the anti transgender view is.I didn't say anything about your personhood, I said you seem to have a predilection towards ad hominem replies, based on the ad hominem replies I see you making.
I guess that's supposed to be a clever retort, but I don't see how it makes any sense.Great, when you get yourself into that society, post about it to us.
That person's comment was about how transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary ideology being crammed down the throats of all children, isn't necessary.I never said you did say anything about MY personhood. I'm saying the anti transgender view is.
Society is what happens when people choose to live peaceably with one another…some of us are willing to acknowledge that some children are going to be transgender and let them know that that’s “okay”.I guess that's supposed to be a clever retort, but I don't see how it makes any sense.
No people are mad because millions of children are being inundated with transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary ideology, which apparently has lead to millions of children thinking they're transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary, as I already cited. What you're arguing for isn't a factor any longer. Instead of creating acceptance for a few, it's resulting in millions of children becoming what were the few into the many. The idea was for the majority to accept the minority. But what's actually happening is the majority is becoming what was the minority - as predicted.Society is what happens when people choose to live peaceably with one another…some of us are willing to acknowledge that some children are going to be transgender and let them know that that’s “okay”.
Some people are mad at these developments.
Is....is 1.6 million ANYWHERE near a majority? Am I missing some kinda news article where there are numbers that are actually disconcerting?No people are mad because millions of children are being inundated with transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary ideology, which apparently has lead to millions of children thinking they're transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary, as I already cited.

Time to update:Is....is 1.6 million ANYWHERE near a majority? Am I missing some kinda news article where there are numbers that are actually disconcerting?
Is this a problem, really? It seems to me that people, particularly young people (who may be more open to new ideas rather than accepting the previously believed status quo) are open to the idea that gender is a spectrum rather than two rigidly defined boxes.
It's hard to say what all will result in getting millions of kids to believe that they're transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary etc etc.Is this a problem, really?

If someone feels they don't fit within the boxes other people say they should fit into, that might lead them to explore new ideas, and new definitions. Nothing wrong with that, from what I can see. If you, personally, feel comfortable in the box you were put in, feel free to remain there.
What difference does it make to you if someone else doesn't want to stay in that box?
-- A2SG, not everyone likes those boxes, after all.....
Why do you assume nefarious motives here? Maybe it isn't someone "getting" people to believe they don't fit into the rigidly defined sexual boxes, maybe they've come to that realization all by themselves. Due to their own personal experiences and feelings.It's hard to say what all will result in getting millions of kids to believe that they're transgender/genderfluid/nonbinary etc etc.
