The desire to move away from all this was all about individual freedom, something we should all value. Heterosexual people got enormous benefits. Sex restriction is a way to totally control absolutely everyone, just as you show here. I didn’t really use/need most of these freedoms, primarily out of personal preference (LOL heterosexist cisgender traditional norms can fit your personal inclinations) but it’s wild so many people DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. They talk about these changes people advocate as if they are ‘forcing’ people to do something or it involves deception. No, it’s the opposite. It’s the promise to the end of forcing people, lying to people, controlling them, manipulating them, deciding how they should live, and harming and even killing them as a result.
Why do more people not understand this? Sexual and gender control is control of everybody. Sexual and gender freedom is freedom for everybody. There are a million examples, many of which benefit the lives of all heterosexual cisgender people. As I see it, it analogizes to religious freedom but it’s too much work to do that argument, and people don’t care about religious freedom anymore. But that’s because it worked. And we are all better off as a result. We must make sex and gender freedom work too. There’s no downside, except for those who wish to unjustly control others.
I appreciate your reasoned arguments and historical points. I was a federal employee active in a LGBT group in DC for 20 years. Even interviewed Frank Kameny (gay rights hero, google him!) and Barney Frank (gay congressman back in the nineties). So I am familiar with some of the garbage policing of non-conforming people (and women & minorities) in the federal bureaucracy. The hateful anti-DEI stuff that’s been happening these past few weeks under tRump is horrific. Unfortunately, public discourse today on these issues is often strident, of the “no debate’ type. We need ‘deep listening’ to others but I’m losing hope in our species, sadly. Some can create beautiful music and art but others are focused on mindless hate and destruction of others & the environment.
the difference between gay sexuality and gender ID is that gender ID is a choice. most grow out of it eventually. if kids aren't socially transitioned or given gender meds, 85% desist from thier wish to ID as another gender by puberty. 12 studies show this. zero refute it. and we now know that even after "transgender" persons have been taking gender meds for years, most detrans eventually. german insurance records found 50% stop taking gender meds by year 4. US military says a similar # stop taking gender meds by year 5. this tracks with most detrans by year 10, the time when detrans persons say detrans is typical. in contrast, homo or hetro is a sexuality and it doesnt change. Comparing the choice of gender identity with immutable traits such as ethnic back ground, sex or sexuality is racist, misogynistic and homophobic. but this is all part of the decades long homophobic, misogynistic mens rights misinformation campaign called gender ideology.
theres nothing more homophobic than sterilizing gays to address normal issues most grow out of. but thats what these frauds are tricking people into
another big difference is that every stat and claim by those promoting gender ideology is a lie. your article claims "transgender" persons are more at risk in prisons. this info come from where? the cited article doesnt say. but we know this info comes from - the inmates themselves ! dudes trying to get into the female prisons. i mean who coild blame them. but why are you buyig it. did the prison says this? of course not. just like every gender ideology claim. its not police records or anything that can be checked. its fraud. and what happens when these dude get into female prisons? just as you would expect when male prisoners are placed with women. and worse.
yes, it is ironic that the man who said grab by the (bleeped out) is the one protecting women and a half doz vulnerable groups from the progressive mens rights movement called gender ideology that dems have been scammed into
