    I give you Colorado. Home of America's Mary Jane. Colorado Will Soon Allow People To Select “Gender X” On Driver’s Licenses | Daily Wire[^]

    Quote:

    This is an important step for the state of Colorado that the state documents reflect our values

    You value mental illness? That's strange. Don't get me wrong, I feel very sorry for people that are confused by their gender. Gender is essential to who we are and I can't even begin to imagine what being confused by gender would feel like. And we need to help these people. However, pretending it is not a mental illness is not a way to help them. I like what Ben Shapiro said.

    Quote:

    My grandfather was hospitalized for paranoid schizophrenia in the 1960s. He thought he heard the radio talking to him. Today's society would presumably determine that a lifestyle choice and celebrate his diversity rather than getting him the lithium treatment he required, which saved his family.

    Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

      The question is: who is it that has the mental illness though? The person confused about the meaning of the word "gender", or the people in power who think it's OK to allow such changes? Answer: probably all 3...

        They should pray away the gay through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the Holy Church. There are plenty of priests to help them with that.

            The point is that they're not confused; they simply don't identify themselves by using traditional gender designations. I'd like to understand your issue with this - why would you care how other people see themselves? Who made you judge and jury of anyone that isn't like you?

                          Where is it mental illness, exactly? I had no idea you were qualified as clinical psychologist or were a board certified psychiatrist. And you didn't say why you should be allowed to judge and jury here? What harm, exactly, are these people doing to you that you would not allow them to identify however they choose to?

                                  they simply don't identify themselves by using traditional gender designations.

                                  Excellent choice of words there... "identify". I am pretty sure they used to use the term "gender identity", which I think is perfectly suitable for the situation. And if they don't like that term anymore, then why can't they come up with a new term that suits the situation more appropriately? However, I completely disagree that they have now decided to hijack the scientific term "gender" which has a meaning based on biological fact and not psychological fiction. The answer is of course that it's human nature to be argumentative. Mix that with the fact that the majority of people are not intelligent enough to use logic and see reason, and you end up with the world that we have today... a dump that I often wish I had never been born into.

                                    The point is that they're not confused; they simply don't identify themselves by using traditional gender designations. I'd like to understand your issue with this - why would you care how other people see themselves? Who made you judge and jury of anyone that isn't like you?

                                    The problem isn't so much how people see themselves, is that these interpretations are being protected and gradually being introduced into law. People seeing themselves as "xyz" is now becoming legally protected and any criticism becomes a "hate crime". Being charged with a crime because you criticise someone's view if you believe it is based on mental illness is never a good thing. Not only that but we're now entering into a whole realm of inevitable abuses of this system. Men are winning female sports contests because they say they are women. A man crushed the skull of a female competitor in a combat sport, a fight he only had because he said he was a woman. We are getting men going to female prisons simply because they say they are women, where they then commit violent sexual assaults. Now a man is saying he identifies as a different age and is looking to have that protected too. If he succeeds then you'll have people insist 10 year old girls identify as being 18 so it's ok to have sex with them. The whole concept is lunacy and is only breeding more lunacy. Identify as whatever you want, but it should always be seen as simply what it is.
