Re: Why do you care about gender?

If someone identifies as a different gender, why is there so much backlash towards this idea? What harm is there to have someone who is a man, believe he is a woman?

Oh? I assume this is true cuz you don't live in this country.
Now, I'm pretty sure in *this* country veterans can get certain government benefits. I've heard stuff about housing, etc.
You wouldn't suggest the imaginary sacrifice of a delusional person play any role in them not getting to partake in those benefits...would you?
EDIT: After all...society isn't REALLY catering to the delusion unless we go all in.

You're comparing the bonuses of life-time of medical benefits, housing and a pension for military services severed to what? The "bonus" of using a different public restroom and pronouns? Really?

Because we live in a society that socializes people to accept a particular system of gender.
The very existence of transgender people subverts this system in which people are heavily-invested.

1. It makes good press.
2. Politicians push it to the moon, from both ends.
3. People love controversy, and they love to fight over nothing.
4. Lawsuits. The way it works, is lawyers make waves, settlements happen, the press takes notice, more lawyers hop the bandwagon, and this perpetually fuels 1-3.
Are there genuine victims in this, or just genuine people who care about transgenderism? Of course.
But that's not why "we" care about transgenderism. You don't see anyone going on about homelessness, prison reform, of Native American rights, do you? Not sexy enough, not mainstream enough.
