I would have called the police after he damaged a display.

I really don't care about someone's gender confusion, just don't ask me to pay for "fixing" it.

Or tries to legislate everyone into buying into your delusion.

The way the Canadians are handling this issue in terms of minors is terrifying.

If you actually read this, you'll learn that it's not mental illness, that science does support it, and it's not just a question of chromosomes.

It cares about you though, that’s the problem. Let’s say you work for a business. A male coworker demands to be called a female. If you don’t comply you’re creating a hostile work environment. Also, if you have kids, your daughter(s) will be changing and using the restroom with biological boys. Those are my problems with this issue. I mean, if a grown man wanted me to call him Sally I would do so. But it’s a bit different to actually pretend he’s a woman. In a way, it’s forcing you to lie to yourself.

I'm fine with surrendering the word gender and allowing it to be a completely meaningless thing. The solution is to go by sex, which is biological, rather than gender which is a social construct.

Your gender can be attack helicopter, doesn't matter, what matters is your biological sex.

I think gender for some is a mental issue
They have feelings and emotions they are having trouble controlling
Which makes the question of gender secondary

Most transgenders are male who believe they’re female, not the other way around.

So it’s mostly about delusional mental illness male superiority. Men who believe they can be women even if they weren’t born one. It’s really a slap to the face for all women in the world.

Ofocurse the irony is that liberals don’t want blacks to self-identify as white because that would simply just be too ludicrous. You can remove your genitals and claim to be female, but bleaching your skin to claim you’re white is simply crossing the line.

As a black man, I self-identify as a young rich oil Arab so any day now I should be collecting my massive assets.
