It's an interesting subject but it can get very political, and if we express or explore opinions as devil's advocate or otherwise, we can quickly get categorised, often unfairly.
Anyhow, I don't have much to lose. Way I see it is there is a large bracket of folk who have gone down the transgender route, for economic reasons.
A pair of old folk, octogenarians I know live directly beneath a problematic neighbor understood to have mental health issues that manifest in him causing havoc in the block of six flats they live in.
Them being right underneath the guy, they get regular thumps on their ceiling that sound like he just fell off a step ladder, with maybe 80 kg on a barbell, the noise is crazy, and happens often, just not regular, so it's difficult to predict when he will do next. Anyhow the result is they live on their nerves, and have done for years since first complaining about it to the local council who own and rent the flats to renters.
In addition this guy does all sorts of unsociable things, ringing bells, dumping trash on stairs, all crazy stuff.
Across the hallway from the two oldsters lived a transgender person of about 60, he never complained about being there until maybe two months ago, and within a few weeks he is moved out by the council to a bungalow, for which normally there is a long waiting list, (ten years or more).
The oldsters were on the list already for more than a year before the transgender person first complained but they were never offered a bungalow, despite them definitely being far more directly victims of the crazy guys crazines.
We see this all the time now, transgenders don't even need to work, they have an army of support workers and they get free state benefits far in excess of what equivalent "straight" males might get, for example.
They are called "normal", and yet get priveliged / preferential treatment by the state, and probably by big corporates.
Kids grow up seeing this, and figure out for themselves what they want to be. If they decide to be "straight" they get no encouragement but if they say they want to be different, they get fast-tracked.
The truth is that the system makes more money, more profit, from transgenders.
Its the same if we are ill, the system sees ill people as opportunities to make profit, rather than any opprtunity to help ill people.
The system begs us to fall ill.
To me we are under a spell, all people including trans, cast by the inhuman but very much alive system of profit. It moulds us to it, and in probably the majority of cases, imho, being trans is an indication of our mould-ability, how easily we are propagandised.
A story that sticks in mind is from the US, from a year or two ago, it was about the police raiding a gay pride rally, and they arrested about 50 folk there who were only there to recruit into a Neo-Nazi group. The extremists know know gayness is an indication of mould-ability, or "vulnerability", and they deliberately target gay/trans events and communitues.
I know there are some folk who really are different, and I have no issues with that, hell there's none of us completely "normal" if we are honest, but there are an awful lot now who've been conned by the system into being something they really are not, and they'll probably regret that sooner or later.
Another term Ive seen bandied around is "Asexual", further refined to "Ace", which as far as I can tell is something like a trans equivalent of "Alpha". They see it as something advantageous, giving them power over would be lovers or whatever, the lover needs them physically but the feeling is not mutual so the Ace can weaponise sexual favors etc.
To me they just never awakened what is a normal drive for physical sex, they've never given or been given the opportunity because the folk they mix with just don't trigger their natural sex drive, they've convinced themselves they don't have it in them, never will, they are just asexual and this is a normal state. They could go through life like that and never know what it feels like to be in a normal pssionate relationship.
I know I might get some flack for saying that but why should I care, I get flack from folk with the same indignant virtue signalling, it's even become now something splitting families including my own.
So it's best to exercise the freedom of speech, whilst we still have it, and if we want to keep it, I think.
