I have a very liberal co-worker and we get along (we never discuss politics) and she went on a rant about about trans rights and the ban on the transing of children in Texas and gave the usual screed about old white men and then she kept going on about how she couldn't believe anyone would be stupid enough to vote for Gov. Abbott. That was when I told her that I had voted for him and she was shocked and said she thought I was more progressive. I then asked her if a kid can tell you that he/she is the opposite sex and we have to take that as the gospel truth, then why can't a 10 year old tell me that he wants beer for him and his friends at his birthday party because he is mature enough to make such a decision. Heck, why have any restrictions for kids?
She told me it wasn't the same thing and walked away. I remember about 20 years ago someone told me that the end game for the lgbt activists (not the ones who truly want to be left alone of course) was pedophilia and I told him that he was being paranoid. Now, I fear that the day is common with the mainstream media will openly defend pedophilia once they can "normalize" a kid changing their sex.
I'm pretty sure we're saying the same thing, but in different words. Yes, gender and sex are synonymous. They mean the exact same thing, but gender is easier to say because it not a homophone to the hanky panky.
"Gender identity" is the bullshit fake term invented by a pedophile who forced kids to do sexual acts to eachother.
"Gender transition" and "sex change" are also the same thing, and while they are not actually changing the patient's gender, they are surgically changing the patient to look the part. In the propper cases, this is done to help the patient cope with actual gender dysphoria, which is extremely rare and MASSIVELY overdiagnosed today. They call it a "transition" because the patient needs to believe that otherwise its pointless.
The irony is that they call it 'gender transition' while also claiming that whoever calls himself a woman 'was always a woman'. If you always were a woman, why are you 'transitioning' to it?
And detransers, they say, were always men after all. Literally "Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. I MEAN EURASIA."
Even their fake world of make-believe is not consistent.
