And now for something completely different:
However, transgender rights for me are a different matter. There should be strict limits on sex reassignment surgery
I'm curious to hear what limits you'd place on SRS. Assuming you don't mean a blanket ban like you later say, of course.
and people should use the bathroom of their bioligical gender, not the gender they 'identify' with.
And what about trans people who've already gotten bottom surgery and thus nominally have bodies that conform more to their experienced gender than the one they were assigned at birth?
Minors should be barred from doing sex reassignment surgery.
I agree, actually. Doogie Howser is, like, the last person I want to give me bottom surgery. Oh, you meant
having? I still agree, but it doesn't actually happen unless your name is Jazz Jennings.
Businesses should be allowed to deny transgenders jobs, at least if they have personal beliefs that are against transgenders.
Because while you can't control who you fall in love with, you have one gender,
The human gender!
the one given to you at birth,
Aw.
and any claims that you are actually from the other gender,
Yeah, trans people aren't "from the other gender", trans women were always women, and trans men were always men (even if it took them a while to get with the program)!
or are "trapped" in the body of a male when you are female (or vice-versa), are completely false (and should be cause for concern),
Aw. You wanna know what should be cause for concern? Your close mindedness.
and you shouldn't be allowed to surgically change your gender.
I thought there were supposed to be strict limits rather than a blanket ban!
There's a clear line - you are born one gender, and you shouldn't try to change that gender; it should not at all be condoned by the government under any circumstances.
Hey, if something makes someone happy and isn't hurting anybody (or, if you view "coming back as yourself", as George W. Bush called it, as harmful, hurting anybody
else), who are you to judge?
