Understanding transgenderism.

[Rev. Rye]

I would agree with that, but, of course, there are conservatives (including, some academics) who would say that being transgender is a choice, kind of like choosing Domino's over Pizza Hut.

Maybe on some extremely technical level, that choice paradigm is accurate, but I think we can agree that a choice between living the way every fibre of your being says you should and slowly killing yourself living a lie isn’t really much of a choice. Especially if said way of living is still so deeply stigmatized by society that one major political party refuses to even trust you to use a public restroom without raping someone and it doesn’t even matter to them that the only times something like that even happened in reality, it was by someone who already had a record as a sex offender.
