By the way, I'm not trying to say 'liberals hold contradictory positions' at all. I don't mean for this to be a political thing, it's more of an academic thing.
:checks OP title, again:
I do understand your argument. I really do. I think that you don't, which is what I've been trying to emphasize. Let me try to bring you round another way. If we lived in a world in which there were no gender constructs, would it even make semantic (set aside the rational, for now) sense, to state that people had or ought to have "the right to live as whatever gender they identify as"?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
