The best way to stop the tidal wave of gender theory permeating our country is to reject this asinine position that gender theory is established "science". No it's not; not at all.

Gender theorists publishing to build foundation for other theorists is "dogma", not "science".

We as a society are not required to accept a bifurcation of sex and gender where the latter is designed to be malleable and supersede biological sex. Period; end of story.

And the fact that may hurt some people's feelings, does not change the analysis.

Now, that doesn't mean you should treat someone who has elected to live their life as the other sex than they were born poorly. If you do, you're an asshole.

But in no way are all of us required to alter OUR framework of reality in order to coddle those same feelings.

So how does this work?

Well, if a person presents themselves as transgender respectfully (meaning, not in the aggressive/down your throat flavor so popular with the activists), then respect that. Show them the same respect you'd show any person.

But that doesn't mean you are required to consider them OF that other sex. You are welcome to consider them a man who has elected to live life as a woman; or a woman who has elected to live as a man. But again, that doesn't mean you should be rude or disrespectful.

Case in point...

I follow Buck Angel (@BuckAngel) on this platform and respect him immensely. You'll notice I called him "him". Do I believe he is a male homosapien? No. I believe he will always be a biological female, but one who has elected to live life as a man.

While I have the right to maintain that view/that reality, and I always will, out of respect for him, I will always refer to him with male pronouns, as that is what he desires and what makes him comfortable. This isn't rocket science.

And by approaching it in this manner...

You can be respectful to people who warrant your respect, but you're not required to alter your entire framework of reality. To each their own.

There are, however, some lines I draw...

I will never refer to any singular human being as "they/them" or any of this batshit crazy stuff like "Ze/Zir" and the beyond. And if that hurts someone's feelings, sorry to hear it. These are my lines, and I have the right to draw them and live within them.

In addition...

I do not support things like sports being determined based on selective gender. There are biological differences between males and females within our species, and we separate them out in sports for fairness of competition. Similar to weight classes in boxing.

I do not prioritize the feelings of a transgender girl over the fairness of competition for all other girls. That is a very sensical line and one I will passionately defend. Obviously, it's one currently under withering attack by leftists and the Biden Admin.

Lastly, I am fiercely opposed to gender theory being pushed at our young children. Whether through channels like cartoons or Oreos and Colgate, or the same being pumped at them in captive environments like schools.

This is not ok to me. 👇

I 100% believe the intense campaign of gender theory being pumped at our kids is leading to a massive social contagion. But it's one few know about because we aren't allowed to talk or write about it.

And I believe this will bring a tidal wave of carnage in the future.

So that above is something I am and will be fighting passionately against as long as I live. Children's minds could not be more impressionable; they will do anything for love/affection. I believe the campaign I described above is designed for the purpose of seeding them.

The position above is one no one will talk me off. Nor am I required to relent on it. We have the right to operate within OUR SELECTED framework of reality, and I 100% have the right to raise my children the same. There are no exceptions to that.

None of what I said above means you should be a jerk to transgender people. In fact, if you are, it tells us a lot about you. You don't have to accept the lifestyle; you don't have to agree with the theory; but you also don't have to be an asshole.

And, more importantly...

Nothing I said above equates to "You don't support trans rights" or "you don't think trans people should exist". That's sensational nonsense designed solely to be a weapon of suppression of discussion. The proper response to either is "fuck off!".

"The science" supports the framework above as much or more than it supports gender theory. Don't allow that term to be used to bully you or shut you up. Reject it.

Stand up for your beliefs. But also treat fellow humans the way you'd want to be treated. It's not hard.
