If you think that “trans athletes” is a legitimate political concern, then you’re a dummy at best and a fascist at worst. No surprise it’s a major issue in the heart of empire.
Well it is a political concern in the sense that it’s realists and delusionals coming to a point where they can’t co-exist anymore.
You’re trying to convince people seahorses can actually fly despite everyone clearly being able to see that they cannot.
You have delusion going up against objective facts and you’re trying to get everyone on board with the delusion which will never work.
99% of people do not give a shit if someone wants to identify as trans as long as they are an adult and they aren’t trying to enter into spaces that belong to the biological gender they are now identifying as.
Where you lose people is when you involve children and when you try to make the argument that trans people are exactly the same as their bilogical mirrors. Everyone knows they are not. It is lunacy to try and pretend they are.
I will happily call them by their prefer name/gender and I will do my best to use neutral terms when I remember, but don’t vilify people for making honest mistakes. Long before the whole transgender topic really blew up I remember accidentally mis gendering people on the phone a few times because I thought they sounded masculine or feminine. There was no ill intent and they didn’t take it as such. They simply corrected me and I apologized and we moved on. That same interaction now has been turned into its own genre of rage bait video for some people.
