To the editor:
Transgenderism is a political ideology to destabilize society, tear apart families, exploit and confuse vulnerable children, and put men in women’s restrooms. There’s a reason you can’t vote or drink until legal age. A 17 year old can’t join the military or get a tattoo, but they’re allowed to travel to a state where they are genitally mutilated and become a lifelong medical patient. Anyone who wants to disfigure his/her own body has deep emotional issues and needs maturation to contemplate the consequences. Unfortunately, critical thinking is not taught in our schools, and young people need critical thinking skills in such a weighty matter.
The problem isn’t when someone wants to pretend they’re a different gender it comes when they want others to pretend with them. If someone 45 identifies as 65, can he demand Social Security and Medicare?
The left claims to be the party of women, but they attack — with the exception of abortion — women’s privacy and sports. Transgenders say they want equal rights, but they really want special rights. You can’t placate delusional people who can’t even define what a woman is.
The left screams,”Follow the Science,” but science states there are two genders — male and female.
Transgenderism isn’t about being inclusive; it’s about excluding safety, fairness, rights, and abilities of real biological females. Whydowe have to accept transgenders for who they are when they can’t even accept themselves for who theyare? Untilpeopleattain adult legal age, transitioning should never happen.
