I've been told by many atheists that my belief in God is a result of mental illness. I reject that framework. Mental illness implies it's something we should work to heal or prevent. I really do not believe we can stop transgenderism. Third genders have existed in so many cultures. It's also overblown as an issue. There really are not that many transgender people. Both the liberal and conservative media amplify it because it helps with their culture war narrative.

But that's what it is. It's a fabricated culture war that politicians can use. If we just ignored transgender people and all the outrage that came with it: We would be so much better off.

I'm not talking about the goofy American Libertarian ideology. That is corporatism trash.

Also how does it violate the NAP??? What? If anything forcing people to not be transgender is violating the NAP. You're talking about school education. I'm talking about the rights of American adults.

Taking away Parental property rights violates the NAP

You could make the same argument though for parents who believe in transgender affirmation. You see where I'm getting at here?

do you think parents ought to have the right to neglect their children?

Biology is a hard science. There are two sexes. Male and female. There are aberrations that occur in less than 0.5% of the population. Those aberrations fall under one category: Sterile.

"Gender" is a fake, made up social construct. Invented wholesale by John Money, infamous child torturer who proved via a pair of twins that attempting to force a boy to become a girl leads directly to that boy's suicide.

Wrong. There are more than two sexes in nature. Also you're making an appeal to science. So yeah we know where that goes.

Everything is a social construct. Language and words are a social construct. What are you on about?

Unless you're an actual biologist. Which if you were, you would probably not say something so naive. You should probably not talk about it.

Where the hell are these statistic of yours coming from. 0.5% are sterile? There are organisms capable of asexual reproduction.

You don't know ANYTHING about science or biology. Man, conservatives are so infuriating.

There are two sexes. Aberrations are extremely rare, are sterile, and can not breed. This is true of all mammals.

This is the most basic level of biology. When you claim that "everything is a social construct" you disqualify yourself from ever discussing science. In any terms.

The scientific method has nothing to do with "social constructs".

The scientific method itself is a social construct. Also, a part of me has a feeling you only understand the "scientific method" under the pretense of elementary school and middle school level teaching.

Let me ask you something. Do you believe in the theory of evolution? How about the theory of relativity? Do you understand the difference between theories and laws in the context of science?

If you understood the "hard science" which is a dead give away that you don't know what you're talking about in regards to biology: You would understand that the male and female sexes even in our species aren't as black and white as we used to believe. There are genetic variations. There are intersex people and which reproductive function they have, if any also has variations. I think most importantly if we limit ourselves to something as concrete as a person's sexual reproductive capability we fall down a pretty weird rabbit hole where many people no longer qualify as Male or Female in the most strict of definitions. I'm not just talking about old or young people.
