Transgenderism Is A Fake Legal Construct

Our side almost always deals with every single issue very thoroughly — too bad too few Americans are ever exposed to the information. This article was sent out as recommended by the Illinois Family Institute’s Laurie Higgins — it’s from The Federalist and written by Daniel Moody:

Mythology tells us there is an area of the Atlantic Ocean called the Bermuda Triangle, within which ships and aircraft have been known to vanish without a trace. With transgenderism, all reason and logic disappears within what we might call the Gender Triangle. The Gender Triangle is that area enclosed by the relationships between three distinct models of gender—the social, medical and legal. As we shall see, these relationships are flawed beyond repair.

Let us begin with the social side of the triangle. Feminist academic types use the term “gender” to denote the socio-cultural outworking of sexual difference, existing in the form of expected behaviours and appearances—i.e., stereotypes. These folk see gender as a limiting social construct that ought to be airbrushed out of existence for the sake of justice and equality.

In an apparent effort to erase stereotypes, the state has succeeded only in reinforcing them.

He can look like a female but cannot look as a female.
