Thread: Curt Schilling fired from ESPN for his FB comments on the transgender/bathrooms issue

I am a fairly left wing kind of guy and see the importance in certain social issues, but what you have now is a bunch of academics in Ivory Towers seemingly so alienated and disenfranchised from reality, that they are just bored and thinking up endlessly more bizarre ways to rile up their increasingly dumb followers into 'action'. Frankly, I think it has gone too far and Western Academia could use a purge. You need different points of view and weird ones are sometimes good to bounce off, but something has gone wrong there. There is really not all that much to research when it comes to the humanities, so in the attempt to be 'original' and at the same time pay respect to the feminist/Marxist forebears, you are getting nonsense. It's the same in economics too IMO which is also a radical ideology. Then this stuff filters through into the media which is also a set up and then you have absurd social debate about things that really do not matter.

The problem begins with people who are of the belief that transgender people have a 'sexual problem' instead of having a gender issue then associating it with some form of sexual depravity instead of a missing gene,chomosome variation, dual genitalia for some or any mixture of many other related issues.
The one issue that gets raised is sexual depravity and is not linked any more with trans people than it is among so called straight people or gay people.

Usually the ones who speak up uneducated, secretly believe others past teachings that God doesnt make mistakes even through nature and the laws governing should reflect that, so they buy into a whole belief system of basic generalizations concerning anybody out of the ordinary having some evil undertone.

The issues run much deeper than any of their judgments could imagine as you can see in the link below.

TransGenderCare.com : Guidance/Transition : What is Gender

This might be naive of me, but I honestly wonder....what is the difference between the body dysmorphia (that's the technical term) that an anorexic or a body builder might have and someone who feels they have been born the wrong sex?

If an anorexic says "I need to be thinner" we don't enable them we attempt to help them. If a body builder says "I need more steroids/HGH because I need to be even bigger" again we don't enable them, we attempt to correct their views of themselves. If a CHILD says "I think I'm a boy trapped in a girl's body" or "I'm a girl trapped in a boy's body" the situation is somehow different and society tells us "We have to help this child become what they think they are inside so if they need their privates cut off or they need to go on hormone therapy we should help them with that transition"....honest to God, why is it any different?

I think if you're an adult it's one thing, but children are being put on hormone blockers, CHILDREN! I don't think it's a very good idea and honestly looking at the suicide rate of post op trans people I ASSURE you it's a bad idea.
