I enjoy listening to Buck Angel. He’s quite a good-hearted free spirit who speaks his mind. He’s also a trans man who calls himself a trans man. He doesn’t claim that he is the same as a “man,” because (he explained on Joe Rogan) he was born a woman but presents as a man. Simple and straight forward. He became a trans man decades ago, when such decisions were driven solely by sexual dysphoria and not so much like social contagion, which leads to his question:
Someday, Buck’s question will need to be addressed head-on and I can already see the future. The next move by TRA’s (Trans Rights Activists) is that sexual dysphoria does not require any diagnosis based on any carefully determined criteria. The off-the-cuff conclusion of an activist counselor is all you need. Believe anyone who makes this claim, even though the rate of sexual dysphoria is now 1,000 times greater than in prior years. If you question this assertion, you are a bigot. It’s entirely subjective and fluid. In other words, Wokeness “theory” will assert that there is no objectivity in this matter.
There are several objective truths here that transgender rights advocates should embrace, in part because they are mutually supporting.
.
1. Biological gender is real and is not a social construct.
2. Transgenderism is real and is not a social construct.
3. Social-pressure transgenderism is not real, and is a social construct.
Reasonable people may disagree about the same empirical data’s interpretation. Those who argue that only one of these is true are not reasonable.
