it's not just a mindset. It's not a mood you can come off. And if it's a psychological problem, so what? That does not imply it being worthy of derision, in any sense. If you can imagine how it would be like for long enough, you would probably start to accept it. I didn't deride it. Why do people like yourself think simply questioning something is the same thing as derision? I'm simply saying there is this idea that when it comes to sexual identity, somehow we should never question that, and this is the defense you are hiding behind as though the first priority should be to worry about offending somebody. I'm worried about the reality of the situation and helping people if necessary. I don't make decisions or statements based on whether people will be offended or not. Actually, there is the same idea about anything studied by science. If, today, you start questioning orbital models and saying atoms are compact, or saying the basic component of all matter is water, then your words are also going to be called the rubbish they are. The only ethical difference is that, in that case, you would only be ignorant, while in the other you are ignorant and transphobic. You certainly can make such comments, however, but they are going to be called what they are. Free speech is a double-sided coin. |
