But let them do what they want. If they biologically changed it: more power to them, you should probably recognise them as the gender they have changed to. If they say they are a "man trapped in a woman's body" (or vice versa), then I disagree. This would simply enforce male and female stereotypes that such SJWs want to avoid, no?


It's strengthening the stereotypes either way.

....

When someone actually starts the 'insanity' arguement, I just lose all faith...

For a person to dislike who they are born as is no different than anything else of self consciousness. It just so happens they change in a different way. People spend endless amounts of money of make up, hair dye, and fashionable clothing, diets, gym memberships, and ameneties. How is ANY of that much different than a transsexual? Or are you just being a hypocrite by saying it's different for some reason you pulled out of your arse.

To hate yourself, that is a mental illness. Also, there's normally dumb (wasting your money), but then there's clinically dumb, which makes you want to mutilate yourself.

There are other types of self-hating disorders which are equally harmful or more so. If someone is anorexic, and trying to make themselves unhealthily thin, you don't encourage that. You try to help them realize a healthy medium.

Lots of mental disorders can cause people to hate themselves and damage their bodies in various ways. The difference is, we actually try to fix most disorders. But for some reason with transexuals we decide that we should just give up and indulge the delusion.

Also, the stuff you listed doesn't really compare at all. Make up, hair dye, clothing, etc don't cause irreversible harm like surgery and hormone treatments do.

Eklipse, the state does not own anyone and should not be putting arbitrary limits on folks freedom in places paid for by stolen property. If a person is mentally handicapped to the point where they need actual help, they would lose real cognitive ability and not be able to reason that they shouldn't go with someone to a mental ward, or that they shouldn't take some medicine. If that person can reason effectively, then they own themselves and are free to do what they want with their property (themselves).

Private and peaceful means of attacking irrational bigotry is the only moral means of defeating irrational bigotry. A state cannot do it morally because it would take property from folk to enforce it, and would be constraining individual rights. However, private means is through completely voluntary and peaceful methods to combat irrationality, and thus is completely moral and logical.

Can i just put in my two cents on trans-gender?

For those of you who do not know, a trans-gender is someone whos sex is the opposite of their gender.
Obviously this can lead to various mental issues mainly leaning towards depression, and suicide. Now, as a trans-gender you have two options(One of which being impossible).

First, get a sex change, this way your sex matches your gender and you are essentially "Normal".

The other option? Though currently impossible, it is theoretically possible to change someones gender, but this would be worse than mutilation and would lead to a variety of sever mental issues.

If you did not already guess, there is only one viable option.

The bottom line is that if you have a dick and balls you should not be in a woman's restroom.

The bottom line is that a business can decide what it wants and government owned property shouldn't exist so those don't matter.

4. 9-11 memorial
5. Military bases
6. Embassies

1. Post offices

Can be private

2. White House

Maybe a privately owned museum , or maybe the last remnant of the government reducing the president to the administrator of some historical monuments.

3. Capitol Building

Same as the White House

4. 9-11 memorial

Privately owned museum.

5. Military bases

Useless now, America is never conventionally attacked at home.

6. Embassies

Why? Just a place for irrational locals to attack.

7. AM track train stations (debatable)
8. Roads/Bridges/Canals


Both can be privatized.
