I haven't been following this thread closely so I don't know what references these points refer to so I won't try and delve into them.
There may well be an issue in a number of schools, but from my experience of knowing trans adults, there's no secret agenda or any of what you listed, they're just people at the end of the day. They don't believe sex and gender are the same thing. They do primarily socialise with those of a similar background but that's most likely due to prejudice they've received from cisgender people, I'm not sure this is particularly surprising.
As I said, I haven't followed the thread to know the sources of information for the points relating to pressure you mate so I won't address them.
Thanks for replying though
You're talking about trans people.
I'm talking about trans advocates/activists.
Very different things. The latter are just using the former as tools to gain power.
I'll illustrate with a few questions for you:
Do you think it's wrong for a person to be "white"?
Do you think it's wrong for a person to be a white supremacist?
Do you understand the difference between those two things?
There isn't a secret agenda - like all group identity politicians, they are not trying to hide the fact that they are group identity politicians. It wouldn't work if they did.
You freely admit that you haven't read the thread and thus don't know what it's about...so why are you posting as if you knew what was going on? You're arguing from a position of ignorance and that's never a good idea.
I know people who are transgender. By some measurements, I'd be called transgender. My own position is that I don't care about gender because it's either fake or a trend that is therefore irrelevant to any individual and it's contantly changing and it's a vast multitude of spectrums. Like everyone else, I am masculine and feminine to varying degrees in various ways at various times. Gender simply isn't a useful concept, so I ignore it. At best it's useless and more often it's harmful. It's only genuine application is for statistical use for selling stuff to people, but even that's almost always a self-fulfilling prophecy sort of thing. For example, here and now a company will reach a larger market by marketing cosmetics to appeal to a feminine market. But that's just current fashion. It's not a real thing, i.e. there isn't any real, biological, connection between "female" and "cosmestics".
I might know people who are transexual - I don't know or care. I'm fine with the idea of a person changing sex, on the basis that close enough will do. Some hormones, some surgery, close enough for me. It's difficult, perhaps impossible, to really nail down a completely accurate definition of sex so "close enough" is fine by me. If it's enough like a duck, it's a duck.
You can continue to argue from a position of ignorance and dismiss me because of your own ignorance, but you're not doing yourself any favours by doing so.
