Obstacles

Are people who play with gender making life inadvertently more difficult for those who need to transition? The answer is unfortunately yes. It's not malevolent but the more extreme examples are serving as fodder for gender criticals who plea to a public that does not come close to understanding the subtleties surrounding gender expression and identity. 

Thus in this current environment I would almost counsel transgender youth who need to transition to do so in stealth as much as possible for their own safety. Most of my life is behind me now plus I built up enough venom and frustration with society's stupid. Someone in their twenties typically does not yet have that arsenal in place. 

Neil DeGrasse Tyson was on the Triggernometry podcast and very intelligently explained how to resolve much of the discord around the issue including touching upon same sex spaces which are increasingly disappearing or being made unisex. He also discussed the misleading charge that all biological males are always stronger and more able than all females which is clearly a falsehood. Add some HRT treatment for a few years and the point is further made moot. 

The excerpt I saw had comments which had little to do with common sense problem solving and more to do with concealing deep disdain behind artifical obstacles.

A healthy segment of the population is always unreachable.
