Quote:It isn't a civil rights issue. Not everything is a civil rights issue, there is no final frontier of civil rights with the grievance industry. They are always just looking for something to fight for, it's transtrenders now, tomorrow it's pan-racial demi-Q non-binary dolphinkins.


The grievance industry has turned a mental illness condition into an identity seeking special privileges. By playing into these delusions, they aren't actually helping anyone, it's like taking someone with gambling addiction to the dog track.

I remember that South Park episode. Good find.


I'm trying to be compassionate on the transgender issue like I am on the LBG issues. It's hard, though. I agree that you love who you love. How do you deny what you are, though? When does it end? A man thinking he is a woman/alien/dog/etc. in my opinion is a strange infatuation or mental illness...take your pick. If it's a chemical imbalance or other issue, does it make the emotion correct and should the behavior be supported and encouraged? Scenes of Howard Beal (Peter Finch) from "Network" are running through my head.


Does accepting what you are and making the best of it sound oppressive? Just curious what others think.
