The transgender activist's fight has always been one where the demands always seemed out of reach, not because they weren't obtainable, but because they were obtained before the struggle even began.
"Trans rights" has always been a weird thing to fight for, because whatever rights transgenders think they're fighting for, they already have. No one is stopping them from existing, they can marry whoever they please, and where they can and can't go depends on their real gender... just like everyone else. Yeah, they can't join the military, but that's because they suffer from a mental illness that is scientifically confirmed to be linked with severe mental health issues, and handing them a gun isn't exactly wise.
So what rights are they fighting for, exactly?
Well, for one, it's not rights. In fact, the transgender community approaches it's "struggle" from a false position. This was recently commented on from Douglas Murray who, as usual, puts it very well at the New York Post:
For over a decade now, the “be kind” brigade has been insisting that “trans” should be the next civil rights issue of our age.
No less a graveyard of thought than Time magazine had a cover in 2014 saying that transgender issues should be “America’s next civil rights frontier.”
That is a very loaded way to present a complex issue.
After all, talk about “civil rights” brings two particular struggles to mind. The first is the struggle to ensure that ethnic minorities — in particular African-Americans — have equal rights to everyone else in the United States. That issue was addressed and answered by force of moral argument six decades ago.
The second issue that it brings up is the fight for gay rights, which also started some six decades ago. Since that time, the moral argument of the gay rights movement has also been accepted.
Nobody today wants to be a bigot who removes rights from black Americans or gay people.
But by presenting the complex issue of trans as the inevitable next step in a campaign for ever more rights, our societies in the West took a mad turn.
Transgender activism means presenting your case as the equivalent of the civil rights era's quest to put black people on equal footing with white people, and the gay activist's fight for more or less the same, specifically with their right to marry who they wish. Transgender people didn't have to undergo that same fight. They had these rights the moment they arrived, yet they still present themselves as the victims of societal bigotry, oppressed and deserving of equal footing.
Murray said it best when he described this all as "loaded," because it is. It shows that what the transgender activist wants isn't equal footing, it's to make you think that equal footing can only be obtained by giving them more rights than you.
The right to use whatever bathroom they wish.
The right to compete in sports outside their biological gender.
The right to define their sex in legal documents.
The right to control how you address and refer to them.
The right to receive special treatment from establishments.
The right to receive medical care that fosters their delusion.
The right to present your delusion to children as normalcy.
The right to influence and direct day to day operations in corporate and business atmospheres.
This isn't rights as we would define them. As Americans recognize "rights," we usually ascribe that title to something that gives us power over, or protection from, the government. What we're looking at in terms of the demands made by the transgender activist community is nothing short of societal domination. It's a ruling mentality revolving around society acting in ways that benefit the transgender community specifically.
And the demands do so at the inconvenience, and even the detriment, of society.
Looking at this through this lens, you can see that the accusations of society being bigoted against the transgender community are generally false, and that in truth, the transgender activist community are just a bunch of power hungry a-holes with a chip on their shoulder and a serious case of Cluster B personality disorder.
You know, the kind of people who should be nowhere near decision-making positions, at least not for the rest of us.
