‘Trans rights’ has never been a civil rights issue
From the start, this whole trans business has been sold as a civil rights issue. But there is no movement in the West to deny transgender people equal access to housing or employment, much less to ‘kill trans people’, as Strangio asserts. There are no water fountains or lunch counters from which trans people are banished.
This is a medical issue – specifically, a mental health issue – slyly packaged as a campaign against bigotry. We don’t let children get tattoos, because they’re too young to understand the concept of permanence and they could come to regret covering their limbs in dinosaurs. It’s therefore just sensible safeguarding for the state to keep kids from opting to take powerful drugs that prevent their bodies from maturing or from opting to get their genitals carved up just because some poor excuses for grown-ups planted this fanciful notion that one can play swapsies with biological sex.
This movement’s ‘trans rights’ decode as the rights to: compel other people to mouth lies that contradict what they see with their own eyes; impose the widespread adoption of dehumanising language such as ‘menstruators’ and ‘birthing people’; force the well-adjusted to finance costly elective plastic surgery through taxation and insurance premiums; walk around women’s changing rooms with one’s wang hanging out; turn women’s sports into a farce; and most importantly, it seems, coax children and mixed-up teenagers to make drastic, irreversible medical decisions which may well result in infection, reduced bone density, lifelong reliance on pharmaceuticals, poor ability to form relationships, sexual dysfunction, impotence and infertility. Perhaps also in searing regret – especially once this sick societal obsession finally subsides and its victims no longer constitute sacralised members of the avant-garde but the awkward residue of an old mistake.
