Today, words like "hateful transphobic content" and "bigotry", "trans", "man", "woman", "justice" and so on can't even be taken at face value because their meanings have become selfcontradictory.
It's impossible to understand what your comment means and who's directed at, unless you give a specific definition of all the terms you use.
For instance, I have posted a couple of notes about the disgusting events at the Olympics, where male athletes are being allowed to beat women on a ring.
More generally speaking, I also think that there is a complex phenomenon that, in short, is creating trans people where there wouldn't be were it not for political and economic factors. Some intentional, some that have probably spiraled out of control of their initial promoters, who now can't back down.
Contrary to your view, adopting a "Trans" identity has become a way out of social stigma and ostracism. That is, being white, heterosexual, middle class, etc.
On top of that, more often than not this politically motivated pressure is the strongest on and at the expense of young girls and women (who already have a disproportionate tendency to express mental distress as body discomfort), young gay men and, most egregiously, the rare authentic cases of gender dysphoria.
I furthermore think that those rare authentic cases of gender dysphoria that exist are psychiatric in nature and must be deemed as such.
Doesn't mean they're not real or that those who suffer from it should be forced to receive only one specific type of treatment and denied some others. I am in favor of ADULTS deciding what treatment they want.
I grew up with such case in my school who was untreatable, and after twenty years ended up getting a sex alteration surgery. Sadly he also ended up becoming a street hooker. This was in the 80's to late 90's, mind you.
That boy was not posing because there were no brownie points for being a tranny who sucked dick at the exit of football games back then.
And yet, I'm very much convinced that, had he not fallen with the wrong crew, he could have stayed a very effeminate but otherwise very normal gay man.
The question here is that society must be accommodating, but just to the point that it is not disrupted.
And the reality is that right now we have an awful lot of backpedaling to do, definitions of terms to go back to, and institutions to clean up of a sick ideology.
