What bothers me most about this "trans" phenomenon is the breadth of its acceptance. Let's be candid; a man who puts on a dress, even a man who has himself castrated and goes on hormones, remains a man. He was bathed in androgen in the womb, he grew up with male bones and musculature. If he wants to express himself as female that's his business but it's not mine nor anyone else's.

You've expressed the absurdities here very well and I don't need to embellish them.

But the acceptance is so broad that people are being fired from jobs for refusing to use bad grammar; children are being mutilated by unscrupulous surgeons; millions are laying claim to being "trans" who would never qualify as such by a psychologist, yet nobody dares push back.

A few days ago I was updating my profile on a job search board. There was a new section: "Pronouns." I left it blank; fortunately it was not flagged as required when I went to the next page.

Amazon is doing a series based on Lord of the Rings update with contemporary values; there are black actors and even "non-binary" Elves. Nobody seems to care that there was no Africa in the world of Middle Earth; I suppose if Amazon ever does a series on the Civil War they will have General Lee played by Idris Elba and anyone who objects will be called "racist."

It doesn't sound as though Alex read your article at all.
