Trans folks appear to want to be treated as the people they claim to be, and want others to participate in their delusion. To further their 'cause' they've attempted to twist the language to coincide with their delusion.

See, this is just sad. You've never known someone trans, have you? Never had a discussion about why people would choose this. Never had to think about things from someone wearing different shoes. It's the same insularity, the same language and the same twisted logic that led people to defend "gay conversion therapy", because homosexuality was a disease. Or segregation, because negro culture was inferior. Or anti-sufferage policies, because women were too emotional to make informed choices. Or slavery. After all these decades of being Wrong Every Time, I'd really think the bigots would have learned that when a class of people says to you "We want to be people and be treated like people without other people calling us delusional and denying our desires" ... that you'd maybe listen. Just for once. But no. Every time. Every disadvantaged population with needs becomes a Hill To Die On for the bigot.

  Because this new fad of 'trans' isn't a type of gay conversion? I have met trans people, I have a great deal of sympathy for them. It's apparent they're struggling with some very difficult issues. It's a shame there aren't better treatments available. Treatment options are lacking for a whole host of other mental disorders and psychogenic illness. Treating them like people doesn't require I share their in delusion or 'celebrate' whatever crazy is the zeitgeist. Women are often too emotional, but if we're going to let hysterical men vote there's not a good argument for not allowing women to vote too. African American culture is obviously inferior if we're measuring outcomes. Adherents of this particular culture experience poorer outcomes than cultures that are more consistent with the ideals of western civilization.
