A Rational Perspective on "Trans Women"

I am quite aware that, in saying what I am about to say regarding "trans women," I am putting myself in danger of being summarily "canceled" (a collective action in which a childish, malicious pack of narrow-minded troublemakers relentlessly hounds someone, seeking to suppress any opinion that does not appeal to them), but that is of no concern to me. I shall, therefore, say it in a direct, forthright manner: a "trans woman" is not actually a woman.

It is self-evident that "transitioning" from male to female is, at best, no more than a frail delusion. A "trans woman" is a man who has chosen to take on a female appearance, a condition that is completely elective and thoroughly superficial, clearly not constituting a definitive state of true, absolute, undeniable womanhood. (The same principle would also apply, of course, to any woman who declares herself to be fully male, as a result of taking on a male appearance.)

In my view, the world has ample room for many different kinds of people, and I have no fundamental objection to a man choosing to present himself as a woman. I do, however, strongly object to the truth being twisted for the sake of convenience, and if a man claims that, merely by virtue of wearing a dress and assuming a female name, he is entitled to be accepted as an actual, biological woman, then quite clearly and without question, a harsh injury is being done to the truth.

In the worst cases, when a person abhors their own body to such a degree that they are moved to disavow it, and are then impelled to unwholesome extremes in an attempt to alter it, for the ill-advised purpose of forcing it to physically conform to a chosen gender, the likelihood of an unbalanced mind must be considered. The manifest verity is that no amount of make-believe, or playacting, or hormones, or surgery can change a person from one sex to another.

That, in a nutshell and in accordance with my own best understanding, is what I believe, in all honesty, to be a rational perspective on the matter. I readily acknowledge that it will be perceived as not entirely pleasing by many people (most especially by those of a trendy, liberal, muddle-headed persuasion), but it is my unwavering conviction that the truth, even in particular instances in which it is perceived as not entirely pleasing, should always be firmly upheld.
