Denying Reality

Hans Christian Andersen would roll over in his grave.  It’s been nearly 200 years since his famous fairy tales were published, yet people persist in looking the other way, denying reality.

We have come to a shameful state of affairs when a man can claim, “I identify as a woman,” and society is supposed to turn our eyes away and agree, “It’s okay. We’ll pretend you’re a woman trapped in man’s physiology.”  Balderdash!

Biology determines whether a person is male or female.  Doctors check the plumbing when a baby is born, and then mark the appropriate box on the birth certificate.  It might be possible to argue that genetic testing is needed:  two X chromosomes means the person is a female, while one X and one Y chromosome means that the person is a male.  People do not decide whether they are male or female; it is a biological fact.

If an XY person claims to be an XX person, there are a few options:

  • he is lying
  • he is crazy and in need of mental help
  • he is possessed and in need of spiritual help

The same holds true if an XX person claims to be an XY person.

The politicians got it wrong.  Any man who says that he identifies as a woman, yet exposes himself to complete strangers in the ladies’ room has proven by his behavior that he does not identify as a woman; he has no clue what it’s like to be a woman. Indecent exposure should get a person locked up.  There’s no way to identify your way out of it.  The fact that so many of these LCP men don’t understand that their presence in the women’s bathroom or locker room is a problem further illustrates their cluelessness about what it is like to live as a woman in this society.

We do everyone a disservice when we dance around admiring the emperor’s invisible clothes.
