It’s the same reason wokeness has become used as almost a slur. Being aware of social injustices is great when it’s based in reason. The reasoning falls apart when I am legally being forced to pretend something is something when it’s not. The trans issue is reasonable until you get a situation where someone can change their gender day to day and I now become forced to pretend. The same idea for breasts, I’m being forced to pretend like almost all women use them as sex organs regularly. It’s hard because they are multipurpose. Would you say an unerect penis is not obscene and acceptable to be shown in public and in the presence of children? Just because it’s not being used as a sex organ in the moment doesn’t mean it doesn’t still carry some significance.
I'm convinced there's some kind of culture clash happening here because I feel like I truly wasn't able to follow most of that.
What does "changing gender day to day" mean and what would it force you to pretend?
For that matter, what is that force? I think the only force we've talked about before is the legislation that specifically forces women to behave differently from men but I don't think that's what you mean. Taking that legislation away, for example, would take away that force after all, it wouldn't introduce a new one.
I do not think that breasts are or ever have been, on any creature or in any sense of the word, considered a sex organ. Is that really what you meant?
I do not think it's really relevant to the topic at hand but I can straightforwardly answer a straightforward question: I do not consider a penis, unerect or erect, to be either obscene or unfit to be visible in public, no matter the ages involved. It's a penis, half the people have them.
