People who deal with gender confusion have a difficult life, and deserve sympathy. Often their condition resulted from painful, destructive early childhood experiences. Having said that, it does not mean that we should remain blind to the negative impact of political correctness, both to these troubled people, and to the culture at large. The Social Justice Warriors have declared “Transgender” people as a victim group, and have applied some of the most unscientific and irrational ideology to be found anywhere within Postmodern/neo-Marxism.
As discussed in the Gender and Social Constructionism section, they have taken the position that biology has nothing to do with human sexuality and gender: everything is subjective. A person can decide for themselves what gender they’d like to be, how to dress to express that feeling, with permission to change to a different gender whenever desired. Further, they have allowed the subjectivity to adopt any one of 70 or more possible “non-binary” genders, as well as “otherkin” identities such as fairies, bears, wolves and snakes. This utter nonsense and gender constructionism is being codified into law in several states in the US, as well as in Canada.
There are several important issues related to people who deal with gender confusion problems.
Bathroom/Locker room Bills: The implementation of these laws expose a hierarchy in Marxist victim groups. In this case, the Transgender class trumps both women and children, and secondarily the male husbands and fathers related to those children, although being male they are deemed to be oppressors by neo-Marxist ideology.
Desired pronouns: Personality research demonstrates that a person’s identity is a composite of many factors, of which your conception of yourself is only one small component. There are social negotiations that play a large role, as well as functional realities: what roles you play in society, for example. So, a demand to use some obscure “invented” word to be addressed by out of “respect” is illogical and unworkable, and not in the Transgender person’s best interest.
Teaching gender constructionism: School curricula should be closely examined concerning the treatment of gender from a social constructionist point of view. At a minimum, opposing – i.e., rational and objective – points of view must be presented sympathetically, if not exclusively.
Bathroom Bills: the only rational solution is that laws regulating the privacy of undressing areas should be based solely on anatomy and not subjective feelings. The possible discomfort of a tiny minority of people suffering from gender confusion if this solution is implemented is extraordinarily outweighed by the threat posed to women and children is the case of anatomical men being allowed in the bathrooms, dressing rooms and showers designed for women and girls, if this solution is not implemented.
Desired pronouns: The entire concept is nonsense, and damaging to vulnerable people suffering with gender confusion issues. Politicians who support incorporating mandated speech into law should be voted out of office, and any existing “mandated speech” laws should be repealed.
Teaching gender constructionism: A starting point should be an effort to get Women’s Studies departments defunded and abolished in public universities (because they focus only on indoctrination and transforming their students into SJWs), and private universities should be encouraged to do the same, as a strategy to increase enrollment from people who want their college-aged family members educated, and not indoctrinated. Additionally, curricula in public – and private – pre-K through 12 schools should be scrutinized to expose all Postmodern/neo-Marxist ideology being used to indoctrinate students.
