    Referring to gender ideology as gender ideology is putting a tidy label to a set of ideas, and makes no reference to any people whatsoever.

      No, sorry, I’m not willing to play your stupid little word game where you try to semantically differentiate a demographic from the “ideology” that that demographic meaningfully exists and should have the right to pursue happiness in society.

      The set of ideas that you refer to includes the ideas that transgender people exist as transgender, and non-binary people exist as non-binary.

      The only choice involved in being trans is the choice to let everyone else know (or not). They are a demographic, not an ideology.

        The concept of “trans” is part of gender ideology. They are people with an identity disorder. Conceptualizing them as “trans” can only exist if you subscribe to the concept of gender in the first place, and gender only exists as an abstraction in the minds of gender ideologues (and people who don’t know any better, who have been duped by gender ideologues).

          False. Like, completely and totally wrong. The science is clear, and you are on the side opposite of it. There are experts on one side, and you on the other. It is amazing just how many incorrect statements you are barfing out.

            Gender fundamentally isn’t a matter of science. It’s a matter of society. We can draw divisions wherever we, as a collective, feel makes the most sense, as narrow or wide as we like, even not at all.
