It's not about giving into the demands of a fraction of people as you say. There is a bigger picture which is why so many non transgenders sympathize and support the cause. It's the reason why the president, the DOJ, and not preside tap front runners support the cause. It's about freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and accepting people who are different. I'm not transgender, I'm not gay, I actually don't even feel completely comfortable around them, the whole situation is pretty awkward to me. But I'm learning and growing and I believe in the principles stated above. I'm not about telling others what to do and how to feel. I can respect the fact that other people live a different reality and trying to opress them and call them sick and perverted only feeds the problem.Appreciate the honesty, but it goes to my point that you just don't understand what the other sides POV is
What's to understand? There are a tiny population of mentally-ill people—approximately 1/5 of 1%of the population as a whole—who claim to be what, as a matter of hard scientific fact, they are not, and who demand that society overturn deeply-established social conventions and standards of decency, in order to cater to their delusions.
There is no rational reason why anyone should give any credence to their demands, and plenty of good reason against doing so.
