Here's what happens when a student is kicked out of class for daring to voice an opinion opposing the national school policy on transgender.
Apologies for the Scottish accent ...

He should have just been given a biology lesson. Scientifically, there are in fact more combinations than just XX and XY for starters.

What was "the opinion"? If I said Nazis are AWESOME, and we should be killing Jews too, would that be good? Can I stay in class?

Which are very rare and have little if anything to do with people who identify as something other than their biological sex.

I'm a liberal and I still don't get what biological argument people are making against those who say the vast majority of people are born men or women.

If someone doesn't identify as a traditionally masculine male or feminine female, that's fine, and no one should be bullied or brutalized or discriminated against for that. But when you ask people to deny biology to further your goal of protecting these people, that's something different.

So because something is rare you can deny their existence?

Also sex and gender are also not the same thing. And there is science to support that transgender brains operate more like the opposite sex.
Transgender brains are more like their desired gender from an early age

So how about we just let them live with the cards they've been dealt without shame? That's all that's really being asked.

When I say, I really don't care about transgender people.... It's usually the transgender people that get upset... As if I have to care about them for some reason... They are no different than anyone else other appearing a little gross....

Isn't that pretty much what I said?

The issue is forcing other people to identify them biologically as something they aren't.

I can say I'm a penguin, but can I force someone else to identify me as one?
