I just do not see the urgency behind all this cross dressing stuff. When one tries to give the benefit of the doubt, I see many people say something like "they ["trans" supporters or liberals] may be misguided, but, they're heart is in the right place" etc. Ergo, this reduces to "drag queens got it tough". And if they have it tough then we must feel sorry for them because there's this tradition of cheering for the underdog.
Okay, but I still have trouble reconciling the zeal that's behind all this. Why? Why are people who dress like the other sex the most important people in the world right now? Moreover, a cursory glace at this community yields some interesting insights, namely, that its a very sex-focused group of people. They're perverts. Why cry out in defense of perverts? And of all the people who "have it tough" in the world, why are the perverts at the top of this list? I've never been to a homosexual "parade" but I've seen some of the footage and it appears to me that for all the horrible difficulties gay people say they suffer, they are having what seems to be the time of their lives, at least from an immediate gratification point of view. Now, we all know that satisfying ones immediate needs does not lead to any lasting fulfillment, and so, we can appreciate the conundrum these people are in ergo the cross that they bear. But, that's kind of my point...we all bear our own unique crosses in life.
The question is, do the cross dressers appreciate that other people have crosses to bear? I don't think so. They seem to be focused exclusively on themselves, which is yet another revealing aspect of these people.
What I'm getting at here, is that if this is all about "the drag queens got it tough et al" then are there not several other kinds of people that suffer too? Yes, for different reasons, but, I can think of a variety of people that "have it tough". Heck, incels have it far more worse then a cross dresser. Especially in the full context of the cross dressing milieu, which as stated, is heavily centered on sexual gratification. Not to mention our culture's broader emphasis on all things sex, effectively making sex the only thing that matters in life. Under such cultural conditions, how can a person that is involuntarily celibate NOT be greatly suffering and, apples to apples suffering far more than a cross dresser that at the very least can have not only sex, but, a gluttonous amount of it, granted under less than optimal conditions.
I'm not making this about "woe to the incels", I'm just pointing out that many people "have it tough", in fact, everyone does. That's another terrible flaw of intersectionality and identity politics, because, each individual has it tough for their unique reasons...our crosses are as unique as our finger prints. And so, the rubric created under the sjw/progressive intersectionality is wholly inadequate to address mass grievances. For every one cross dresser elevated to the top of the heap, there's millions more ignored and excluded.
Also, I'm not convinced this is an issue of great importance. Before all this cross dressing stuff became "popular" no one was suffering with their "gender" identity. People were not only perfectly content with male and female in society, I think writ large, everyone was a lot more happy living in this paradigm. Because for all this talk about authenticity, being male and female are so darn fundamental to our existence that having society-culture be consistent with this made for greater social harmony. To suggest that a cross dresser is "authentic" given all of the artifices they put on, is discordant in this context and it is, of course, absurd. Absurdity conflicts with harmony methinks.
So what happened? What happened was the forced "popularity" of this issue, which engendered a similar phenomenon akin to the over diagnosis of ADHD. What matters here is there were no scores of people left unfulfilled etc, because they couldn't "express their authentic selves". No, there were, like always, scores of lemmings ready to be told what to believe. That's exploitation and manipulation...tell me how that is good?
Once again, I still come back to the same place. You cannot force people what to say and think. And because of that, we win handily. Worse still, the cross dresser argument states the same thing yet immediate contradicts itself with their follow-on demands. For example, cross dresser says other people cannot tell them what to say and believe, yet, they turn around in the same sentence and demand that other people say and believe only what they say and believe.
When confronted with this, I immediate dismiss this whole thing entirely and declare victory for us. A person can be a cross dresser because society is ostensibly "free", but, they cannot insist that their way of life be accepted by all others and to be included in all facets of life. Moreover, they represent an infinitesimal percentage of the population, so, why is this such a big surprise? This is a small niche of weird people. But, heck, people who catch poisonous snakes with their bare hands are also a unique niche too. You don't see them insist that catching a poisonous snake is good for your health.
In closing, there's also the issue of psychological stability here, which is very relevant. These people are crazy in the purest sense of the word. On a meta level what we have is a glorification of mental illness. Douglas Murray covered this with Dr. Brett Weinstein recently...Douglas said "people are wearing their manic depression as though its a badge of honor...".
He's absolutely right, and I'm again left dumbfounded. To embrace your deficiencies is absurd.
