Thanks for the response. I didn’t mean to actually suggest the entire trans movement is illegitimate or based on nothing more than this. My views on the matter are probably best captured in the work of Debra Soh. The End of Gender. I worked in youth mental health for 30 years and agree 100% that gender is dysphoria is real. For the same reason I know the contagion factor is huge and does not reflect true dysphoria. My target is much smaller; the sharp end of the stick only. One example, an activist in Toronto - sorry I offer no links - who pursued a complaint through the Ontario Human Rights Commission based on a body waxing salon’s refusal to wax the individuals male genitalia because she was in fact a woman - via self identification. The staff at the salon held beliefs that included it being forbidden to handle genitals other than their husbands. What is acheived by this other than deliberately gaming the legal system seeking precedent and notoriety?

I look forward to hanging out, reading and sharing when I have something worth offering.
