I thought TED was a place for open debate but on this talk:
www.ted.com/talks/jackson_bird_how_to_talk_and_listen_to_transgender_people/discussion
I posted approximately this comment:
"Gender is a social construct. The trans movement on the one hand say they promote and celebrate a spectrum of human expression, and on the other say that someone who plays with dolls and likes pink, but has a penis, may in fact be a female. This is polarising rather than freeing.
There is a problem. The trans community feel that problem. But the problem is not that people have been born in the wrong body. The problem is that society is not accepting of people behaving differently from gender stereotypes.
The trans movement is, ironically, actually actively making this worse, not better; for everyone."
It remained in the comment section for about 5 days and then, without any notification, was deleted.
People may not agree with my point of view - I was happy to debate it with them.
AIBU to think it should not have been deleted?
PS. I'm not BU! Posting here as I'm annoyed and wanted to get it off my chest I suppose. Thank you for the space to vent.
