My hot take: I find transgenderism to be weird. I don’t get it. It weirds me out. I suspect I’m incapable of understanding.
Here’s the thing though: it doesn’t matter what I think. None of my fucking business. They can do what they want. Why is this a national issue?!? I find it weird, yes, but building a political ideology around hating them for it, that’s WAY weirder. And more dangerous.
Americans love freedom right? I’m having trouble thinking of anything more free than waking up a man and going to sleep a woman. Yes, I find it odd. But I’ll fight to the death their right to practice their flavor of odd.
I’m trans and asexual. It would be insane for me to take a stance against people having sex. I don’t enjoy it and the machinations surrounding it confuses me. However, I don’t care that people have sex even though I don’t understand it.
Turns out a lot of Americans don’t love freedom. They love only their freedom, which is corrupted in my opinion.

I didn’t read this correctly the first time and now I’m moved. That happened to me, it did feel like I was set free.
I totally agree, I just don’t think that healthcare should pay for body modification. More accurately, if people want insurance that covers those costs, it shouldn’t be subsidized be people who don’t wish to subsidize it.

as a trans person thank you for this :)
Nailed it.
I’m transgender and I find transgenderism weird.

I’d rather have healthcare cut out all of the wasted excess fees and corporate fat than nitpick who gets what kind of care, but that’s just my 2c
