I got to thinking how polarized this gender and transgender thing has gotten. It is not at all new.
What is new is how it has become weaponized and exploited.
I grew up reading Heinlein and in several of his books characters switched physical gender/sex (whatever these words mean) and back without much to-do. In that future, this was as normal as changing clothes it seemed.
So, as I say, I have no problem being friends with trans folks as long as they don't have an issue with me being a confirmed hetero.
Frankly the subject is old, old news and does not interest me much but I did a quick search for Heinlein to refresh my memory

That is the enemies' strategy and whenever we say we want to protect the children they scream lies.
Gender is probably a spectrum and always has been but sex cannot be changed at the chromosomal level regardless of how hard some pretend.

Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
