Well then we should all show our dicks and balls all of the time so no one can mistake anything.

And we should make prosthetics illegal and masks illegal, and also dramatic acting illegal, because all pretending is morally wrong and has no place in our totally honest society.

Someone who has no biological left arm, can pretend to have one. Someone who is biologically short can wear lifts in their shoes. Someone who is biologically not winston churchill can play winston churchill in a movie. Someone who has a biological dick and balls can pretend they do not have a biological dick and balls.

A "witch hunt" is where a backwards authoritarian society reinforces their ingroup status like nazis at the nuremburg rally by going after all of the non-conforming elements of their society one by one, and first to go area always those who do not feel comfortable in their gender, as this is seen as somehow de-masculinizing the militarized elements of society by osmosis, or some other magical thinking.

Followed closely by highly intelligent people who discuss alternative forms of social organization and spirituality, or those who are simply disliked by the dominant cultural hegemony.

Almost always these witch hunts distract from the fact that the authoritarians are kidnapping and abusing children and pre-pubescent females, as well as cheating at elections, and poisoning everyone with pollution, etc.

we don't put pretend identities on birth certificates and create legal fictions around them and protect people who abuse others who treat the pretending like it's pretend, ffs.

A corporation is a legal fiction, every business is a legal fiction.

Men do not wear their wedding rings sometimes, if I wanted to go around policing these people and kicking the shit out of them, would you approve that?

I would just be enforcing what is on their identification documentation, right?

And then would you protect me as I abuse others who pretend their pretending is real?

But really you should begin to see that your semantical gymnastics does not defend you from the accusation that you are a bully, beating up defensless and oppressed people, for absurd, self-serving, reactionary reasons grounded in your own delusions and insecurities.

There is not a movement of trans people taking over hungary, there is an authoritarian dictatorship taking over hungary, and they are manipulating you into giving away your rights while you chant for ru pauls blood like a monkey.
