It's appropriate that the commenter below uses the phrase "bought in", because that conveys the general sense of mob/unthinking latching onto this movement. O

It's appropriate that the commenter below uses the phrase "bought in", because that conveys the general sense of mob/unthinking latching onto this movement. One which I'm quite disappointed to see companies just caving to, through little insertions of ridiculous practices like these. Having everyone declare their gender is a little bit ridiculous, just to serve the desires of a ~1% group who are trying to gain more recognition. I am frankly surprised how people are willing to distort their behavior when they refuse to do so for other groups who are far more downtrampled in their rights in greater percentages. I suppose somehow transsexual people just became popular for some reason. Frankly, it's a symbol and problem of the modern liberal/democratic mind (at least at the party-level) that these problems rise to the level of national and corporate attention -- and apparently we solved all our other material needs and have time to spend on this in comparison.
