I wonder about this a lot. Do people actually believe that a man who mutters "I identify as a woman" actually is one? Really? That goes way past quibbling over definitions of words.

I am truly shocked at the extent to which institutions, government, workplaces ... have bough into this rubbish. Especially since even if you count the fake "trans" (0.6%) along with the GID sufferers (0.0065%), you have the tiniest minority there is.

And how anyone who's had to sit through an extended lecture on "my gender identity" or seen Dylan Mulvaney or any one of a number of YT videos like "It's MA'AM!" can possibly believe these people deserve respect.

Right now I'm reading Helen Joyce's 'Trans' and it spoke of trans as another 'psychic epidemic' - and these traditionally suck in doctors, academics, the press, popular opinion. I've bookmarked it to write about it in a future blog post.

I thought about buying it but I am nosing in on 70 and there is so much else I need to read. I'm afraid reading about "trans" would just piss me off (more).

It does piss me off but it also has some new insights I haven't found elsewhere. The truth is coming from Europe; gender-affirming care's days are numbered and when that house of cards falls, the rest will fall too.

I'm becoming more selective with my time as it runs out.

I'm currently reading "The Righteous Mind" by Johnathan Haidt. Strong recommend!
