The severity of the sin

The reason I tend to have a blunt outlook on gender variance in general is that so many people suffer over it. Bucking the most fundamental building block of society (even in small ways) is not going to go unnoticed especially when so much architecture has been built around it over the centuries.

No matter where people reside on the continuum there is some aspect which has given them grief. If it isn't the paralyzing fear to come out, it is some other reason. There is always a minefield ahead which must be judiciously navigated to avoid an explosion which could perturb a delicately built life.

Some people are happy to be left alone in their expression while others stretch the definition of womanhood by testing the courts when access to women only spaces is closed off to them. This time it was Roxanne Tickle who did just that in Australia and raised the ire of the criticals like JK Rowling by winning access to the social media app Giggle. Apparently it is a great offense.

In reality there shouldn't be so much weight given to sex and gender but you cannot undo centuries of precedent and expect no pushback most especially from those whose sense of perspective and critical thinking has been heavily compromised.

While I always seem to find actors on both sides I disagree with, I find much more fault with those who are so greatly perturbed by the existence of others. Something as innocuous as a website shouldn't invite so much vitriol until we realize that bad faith actors are looking for every bit of ammunition to put people back into closets.

My personal experience with the solid people I know is that reasonable people are the ones endowed with the most common sense. When you reflect on the severity of the sin you realize there are much bigger things to worry about in this world.

$1.2 million was spent making sure that Roxanne was kept out.
