…the state’s Department of Children and Families has released a new glossary of terms designed to help you navigate the new world of transgender sensibilities and avoid saying anything which will earn you a stiff reprimand from your betters. For starters, you can forget about the term “racism.” In this brave new world, if you think there are only two genders defined by your 23rd chromosomal pair, you’re engaging in genderism. And the language lessons only go downhill from there.
Why are we worrying about gender anomalies? They are very rare and in my opinion crazy.
The world is busting apart at the seams and this garbage is just one reason why.
This is proof that government bureaucrats have way too much time on their hands. There are too many of them with far too little to do during the day, and they’re overpaid for their efforts.
“Why are we worrying about gender anomalies? They are very rare and in my opinion crazy.”
I have the same problem: somehow the mentally ill seem to have become a political demographic to be pandered to in our modern age.
And the mentally ill are rapidly growing, both in numbers and in influence.
Safest thing to do in this brave new world is identify as an “It”, let people decide what they are when the primal urges hit, no “holes” barred.
This is Newspeak taken to an absurd level. By re-defining language and how it’s applied, there aren’t any abnormal people. All tastes, all habits become equal and equally worthy.

In answer to your “how soon” question…yesterday!

“Gender gifted: a person whose capacity for gender expression exceeds the binary.”
What ..the …f***?!
I have NO idea what that means,so someone may be “gifted” and not be aware that he/she is! How utterly tragic!
“Gender gifted”
The spelled ‘grafted’ wrong.
A PENIS and y-chromosome = male
A VAGINA and the absence of a y-chromosome = female
Everything else is just so much mental masterbation … which leftist government-types seem to get-off on
Because if we weren’t worrying about gender anomalies we might start thinking about real problems.
The inmates have taken over the asylum!
Maybe with all this “mental masterbation” they’ll all go blind and have to feel their way around…that should end the confusion between the dicks and the dickless.

And for cases of androgen insensitivity syndrome (XY + vagina)?
Kleinfelter’s syndome (XXY or XXXY) and whatever plumbing?
etc. etc.
Biology is a complex thing, and there are plenty of paths by which things can go awry, even if nowhere near as often as the fashionable shrieking going on at the moment would have us believe.
If you want to focus on the mentally ill why not focus on those with violent and terrorist tendencies? Gay and lesbians are harmless and most aren’t mentally ill. You can tell the ones who are – they wear plaid.
Exactly!
This all a part of the Bolshevik dream to destroy and replace the family with the state.
Time for John to show and mention how this is a good thing.
“Because if we weren’t worrying about gender anomalies we might start thinking about real problems.”
BINGO. And the lucky mentally unstable are called politicians. Or is that psychopaths??
most aren’t mentally ill
The facts don’t exactly support your opinion.
LGBTQ people face: Higher rates of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and phobic disorders, suicidality, self-harm, and substance use among LGBT people. Double the risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than heterosexual people.

They’re nutty as fruitcakes. GQBLT is a mental disease.
In addition, there are health hazards associated with extensively altering one’s body chemistry with substances which aren’t intended for it and are often incompaitble.
Is jeopardizing one’s well-being worth accommodating a self-delusion? Are these risks made clear beforehand?
Are these risks made clear beforehand?
Who cares? The free will and freedom of expression guaranteed by our Charter of Rights lets them kill themselves as quickly or slowly as they choose. I’d prefer they do it quicker so as not to waste the resources of our health care system. Giving them the drugs they want to kill themselves is a cheap and easy solution to a self made problem finding a solution.
Unfortunately, once they contract whatever affliction that is a consequence of their foolishness, they can be treated by the public medical system. Guess who pays for that?
If they insist on experimenting with their anatomies, that’s their business, but they should do so on their own nickels. The taxpayer shouldn’t have to foot the bill for this nonsense.
If it turns out to be too expensive, maybe that’s a sign that one shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. Perhaps that “treatment” isn’t a medical necessity after all, despite what the “experts” may claim.
Yes, there’s a debate emerging over whether or not ‘transgender’ surgery is cosmetic or medically justified. So called ‘human rights’ tribunals are exerting political pressure to overturn medical decisions. This does not sit well with a lot of people, regardless of what propaganda the lieberal media are flogging.
Case in point:
For many years a number of women in the Yukon have suffered chronic back pain and other physical discomfort because they could not afford breast reduction surgery. Medical practitioners deemed it a cosmetic procedure and therefore not paid for by health care. Now there is a case where a woman made a human rights complaint after being repeatedly denied taxpayer funded breast reduction. She played the ‘transgender card’ and got the taxpayers to pay for her cosmetic surgery. That doesn’t seem right or fair to many people.
Universal health care is supposed to be equally and objectively applied to all persons. Subjective exceptions should not be made just because someone claims la maladie à la mode du jour. That lack of impartiality IS a human rights issue. Perhaps those women who have been denied breast reduction surgery should lodge human rights complaints. However one wonders if they’ll have to play the ‘transgender card’ to get health care to pay for it.
I’m a libertarian living in the mental institution of Connecticut. It’s a beautiful state – the governor and his minions are the trash.
A useful article and interesting argument to read and ponder:

In one case, the discomfort and pain can be medically verified with actual evidence. The other, however, is subjective, can’t be readily confirmed, and is based on “feelings”.
Guess which is more likely to be covered?
If it’s from the Department of Children and Families, that means they want to indoctrinate the kids.
