“I’m Not Male. I’m Not Female. Please Don’t Ask Me About My Junk. Also, I’m not just doing this for attention or because it’s trendy, which is why I wrote this article for a mass market publication and am fully available for television interviews.”
I know people who identify as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, and non-binary who have beards and wax their legs. I know others who sculpt their faces with makeup and prefer suits. I know some who wear no makeup at all and prefer short hair—all sorts of expressions that depend wholly on the individual.
In other words, you know a bunch of people with personality quirks. But instead of shrugging it off and saying, “Whatever,” it’s somehow of critical importance to elevate every deviation from the norm into an “Identity,” and to demand that society change all of its norms and rules to accommodate your self-proclaimed identity.
And then you get angry with people who refuse to live in your fantasy world and demand that they be punished.
A society that is determined to deny biological reality isn’t suited to handle more complex realities either (The Threat of Triumphalist Islamic Expansionism, the Fiscal Unsustainability of Ever Increasing National Debt; the Inevitable Failure of Marxist Economics). This is why I have so little faith in the ability of Western Civilization to survive over the next century.
