Once upon a time a gay man might have been ashamed to come out. Then the society at large said, no dude it's cool if your gay, you do you.
Then they came out of the closet and proudly stated I am a gay man or I am a gay woman hear me roar.
Maybe not my cup of tea but again, good on ya, mate! You do you.
But then the smallest subset of individuals ,who actually were born with both genitalia said, hey what about us? So society said, wow, that is out of the norm we will call it hermaphroditic.
Biologically speaking here we see three groups of people that still only encompass two genders, male and female. One small subsect is genuinely both genders and those select few were allowed to choose what gender they identified as, even though they were clearly both.
Then a small group of gay men and gay women got super jealous of the blessed few who indeed where both genders, who got to choose how they wished to identify. It was no longer good enough to accepted by society as gay. Society at large accepted the gay man and the gay woman, in fact it rarely raised an eyebrow.
Well, we can't have that, there is no controversy in just being gay anymore, we must take it to the next level.
They cried and cried that it is not fair to be labeled by their genitalia and demanded more options, like a newer version of a video game that has better shoes and weapons to choose from.
In the end it was all a bunch of selfish ego driven madness, culminating in girls' getting raped in school bathrooms by cross dressing heterosexual rapist boys and cross dressing gay men being allowed access to young children in the schools when it is whackjob story telling hour.
The only people on this planet that should be pissed about pronouns and gender identification is hermaphrodites. The gay community and gender dysphoric whack-a-doodles have usurped their privilege of self identification andnow many parts of this country look like a bad SouthPark episode.
Well stated. I worked in a NICU for 27 years, in a smaller children's hospital. We took in babies from 24 counties. In that time, I only recall 2 babies with both XX & XY chromosomes, and 1 ovary & 1 testicle, and ambiguous genitalia (not obviously male or female). This was very distressing to the parents, as they could not even announce the birth of a son or a daughter, AND their child faced a future with surgeries and hormones and many unknowns. I often thought about the children that were discharged with challenging diagnoses and how their lives turned out. I wonder what these individuals would think about those born with a gender who now despise their own bodies. Perhaps, they would resent how their true challenges are minimized by the gender dysphoric, much as I read women resentful of men who think that wearing a dress and make-up and all the other "surface changes" make them feel like a woman. If you didn't "live it", you can never truly know what it "feels like".
I so completely understand what you are saying. I think it was Opera and DR Phil that gave light to this issue. Where a child was born and the parents had to make a decision on what genders to pursue given the surgeries and hormones involved, obviously the child has no choice in the matter.
Later the child grows up as Johnny but feels in her heart she is a girl. The pain of that is only felt and cannot be empathized with truly.
However, the gay community latched onto the very physiological reality of one who went through that, and used it to say we "feel" the same way see here is science backing us up. When in reality theirs may be feelings welling up from being molested when they were young.
And to top it off, not only has legitimate gender self identification been highjacked by the activist gay community, they have always used their alleged societal discrimination as a political vehicle.
So essentially, the political arm of the activist gay community has highjacked gender identification from those who actually deserve it, and our compassion.
This is a great documentary. I learned a lot from it.
THESE people in the documentary have it hard.
