Who said there is a line?

That's the kind of black and white and moralistic thinking that are causing people to distance themselves from today's ideological transgenderists.

I can support your right to be safe as a person but not believe everything you say or state that your ideology and tactics are wrong. You get ahead in this world and gain acceptance through practical thinking, not moralistic thinking.

I grew up in a lily-white city, some of the first black people I met were a couple where the man was an engineer at the Raytheon plant that made Patriot missiles. My family was out riding our bikes and one of us got a flat, they helped us fix it and gave us some lemonade in my kitchen. After that I wanted to see more black people move to my town.

The first transgender person I met was a great engineering student, amateur astronomer, and science fiction fan. I found out all those things before I found out she was transgender. She got kicked out of the air force academy but our nation's loss was my gain.

When I got on Mastodon I was just shocked with how many transgender people were sharing hateful image memes, complaining about everybody else and insisting that everybody else's thoughts and feelings were wrong, like all the rest of us didn't have the right to make any decisions at all. If that was the first thing I'd ever seen of transgenderism I'd think it was a disease.
