If you want to improve the situation, you'd (all) best get your shit together and arrange your thoughts in a bulletproof and airtight fashion.

Writing blather about "the transgenders" is utterly pointless, and almost makes me want to side with Reddit.

Learn to separate IDEAS from PEOPLE. All ideas are up for debate. Ideas don't have rights, people do. Be specific in your objections to the ideas (there's plenty of gender cult nonsense to object to!) but avoid attacking groups of people as a whole, or else you'll have the virtue signalling army shutting you down, and they might even have a point.

Gather your words and choose them carefully. We need to combat the insanity with precise reason.

Mammals cannot 'change their sex', no matter how much surgery and rearranging of body tissue is performed on them.

I agree with your sentiment but this particular issue is so chaotic and far reaching... it’s my opinion that part of the refutation of this particularly nasty brand of gender ideology has to do with the calibre of the people contained within it.

Is the idea dumb? 100% but people don’t care about facts, people don’t care about logic. You can yell that sex change isn’t possible and the people doing the transing don’t give two hoots. It’s at that point I don’t think we can ignore that there are several personal failing that crop up with alarming frequency in trans communities. Sexual abuse, pedophillia, the grooming of teens and children, other co-morbidities like obvious narcissism, as well as transitioning to gain solical/political/athletic clout etc.

Those things aren’t precise but they are repeating patterns and they’re worthy of note to me, but I do agree that they are extremely difficult to argue on, as the whole topic has become.
