On the Fact that We're Being Asked to Throw Out Hundreds of Years of Evolutionary Biology Just to Placate a Small Subset of Mentally Ill People Who've Somehow Deluded Themselves Into Thinking that Gender Is a "Social Construct"

And, no, I'm not a transphobic person nor do I believe that these folks should be disrespected or denied rights (I am much the libertine on issues like this). I'm only saying that it probably isn't the most prudent course of action to be normalizing every speck of aberrant behavior that comes down the pike in that a) feeding in to a delusion only serves to strengthen it (and remember, this is the singular example where we act this way), b) it creates an environment where peer pressure can readily steer confused and unhappy children into creating a persona that almost certainly wouldn't have existed on its own, and c) we've traveled down this road before (ancient Greece, ancient Rome, Oscar Wilde's decadent England, Germany's Wiemar Republic) and the result hasn't always been positive. To say the least.................................................................................................P.S. And please remember that while the West is engaging in this 24/7 gender-bending, China and Russia are taking a different approach; a bit more masculine, let's say.
