Amen to this, although by the time I was thirty, I'd pissed my first wife off so bad it was beyond repair even though I spent a lot of freaking money, effort and time trying to fix it. Don't blame her, we both had issues.I was an awful husband in my 20's, thankfully I have a wonderful wife and both of us were too stubborn to quit.
Maryland Refused To Give Back A Virginia Runaway Because Her Parents ‘Misgendered’ Her. Then She Was Sex Trafficked, Mother Says.
A 14-year-old transgender runaway from Virginia endured a six-month nightmare that saw her twice fall into the hands of sex traffickers, the second time after Baltimore bureaucrats refused to return her to her home state because they accused her adoptive parents of “misgendering” her, according to records reviewed by The Daily Wire.
The child, identified in legal documents as Sage, was adopted by her biological grandmother, Michele Blair, after the death of her father. Long troubled, Sage began identifying as a male named “Draco” and ran away from their rural home in late August of 2021, only to end up on the mean streets of Baltimore, where authorities rescued her from a convicted sex offender, according to records. But instead of returning the child to her grandmother, Maryland officials put her in an inner-city group home. The reason: They thought her adoptive, blood-relative parents didn’t seem to sufficiently recognize her transgender identity.

Well said!!!This is really the long and the short of it for me when it comes to this nonsense. If someone wants to live their life pretending to be a member of the opposite sex, fine. I'm glad we live in a country where someone has that kind of autonomy. But that's exactly what it is. It's a costume that someone is wearing to make themselves feel more comfortable with themselves. Fine! Got no problem with that. However, I wholeheartedly reject the "I think, therefore I am" idea that if a man wants to call himself a woman, not only IS he in fact a woman, but I'm also somehow expected to play along with that pretense and if I don't that makes me a hater of trans people! I'm not going to ignore facts to spare your feelings. Sorry! Get some thicker skin. Your'e not 5 years old. Be an adult about it and recognize the situation for what it is. Don't attempt to rewrite reality for everyone else to suit your sensitivities!
I was raised to believe that the onus is on me to figure out how to fit in and function in society. Not that I should expect society to capitulate to my whims! That is beyond narcissistic behavior and really that is what rests at the center of all of this. We have become a society of narcissists who truly think everything revolves around the individual. Thats how you get stupid sh_t like Leia Thomas kicking women's ass in the swimming pool, when both he, and the NCAA DAMN WELL knew he would have an unfair physical advantage over them! The fact that he could stand on that podium and proudly accept that award without even the slightest hint of remorse shows you just how ridiculous it has all gotten. He and everyone involved in that fiasco that supported it should be absolutely ashamed of that!
Aren't you asking to prove a negative? Why not try an prove that obesity has an evolutionary advantage for the species overall. I can see an argument being made that additional fat layers are good for groups that live in higher latitudes, although I have serious reservations the Swedish Bikini team would have been near as popular if they all weighed as much as some the plus-sized denizens of the average Walmart.It isn't? Do elaborate.

Gotcha. I agree with you. Fat storage does have an advantage for the species or it would not have evolved. Obesity, on the other hand, is nature's way of thinning the herd of the least desirable members.Not prove, necessarily. Just to elaborate so I cN better understand your point.
We wouldn't have places built to store fat cells if excess weight wasn't natural.
Obese people tend to have shorter lifespan. I'd say that's a form of natural selection.
And this is where the case for this nonsense breaks down completely. What an insult to women. As a father and husband, I’ve watched the specific challenges women face. I wouldn’t trade places for all the money in the world (as if I could). For a biological male to think that womanhood is a costume you can put on is the most insulting, disrespectful, and misogynistic thing I can think of.
Then, to try and force this twisted agenda on others, or teach it to children. These people should be locked up and lobotomized, not celebrated.
