No, they really don’t want to leave it up to our senses. If they did, what would be the purpose of the majority of their demands? Why would we need pronouns in bios? Wouldn’t asking someone their pronouns then be seen as insulting? Why would we need self-ID?

The moment one of them appears in a debate, they know it’s over. We need a mantra of our own that’s akin to “OK let’s talk about it.” Never before has a “Civil Rights Movement” shied so much away from debating.

I wonder if kids these days are having any debates in secondary school. I participated in so many gay marriage and other debates in my day and I’m a better person for it. We actually had to ask each other questions and answer them or be seen to dodge them or not have a sufficient response. We had to confront our weaknesses and improve our arguments. It was great when religious people relied on scripture and religious beliefs because we have the First Amendment in the U.S. and I didn’t subscribe to those religions. When the class period ended, we returned to business as usual. There were no calls for anyone to not be allowed to have or share their opinions even if they said homosexuality was unnatural/sinful. There was no attempt to explain why homosexuality was harmful beyond it being contrary to religious tenets. The debate didn’t hurt me because I found the contrary arguments to be weak. Free speech is what protected me, not hurt me. It made me more confident in my positions.

What is actually happening in schools right now? Are they not allowed to openly vehemently disagree about anything?
