On both sides of the Atlantic, advocates for transgender rights are increasingly substituting ideology for biological reality.
But while here in the U.S. the Supreme Court last month was writing into Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act legal protections for people who identify as transgender that the authors of the law never intended, the United Kingdom appeared to be moving in the other direction, standing up for common sense.
On the other side of the pond, just five days before the Supreme Court handed down its decision, bestselling “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling published an intensely personal essay in response to criticism of her position on the issue of gender identity.

ReplyDeleteIts bad enough they can't get their own shit figured out, but they're forcing their mental illness on their children! Its like the father that forces the son to play football (to fulfill their broken dreams), or these pagent-moms who parade their little girl around like a poodle at Westminster... they are deranged, and shouldn't be allowed near children. If there even is such a thing as gender dysphoria (in the sense of an actual identifiable set of characteristics and not just some fucked up whackjob), it could be addressed through psychotherapy at a young age!
