To begin with,
it ought to be noted that by definition, compromise, is a dirty word,
for extremists across the political spectrum on both the right and
left, on many issues, worldwide.
Furthermore, it is also a
truism, dear critical-reader, that the yearning for freedom beats
strongly in the hearts of all humans, regardless of religious faith,
race and social background, in every nation on the surface of sovereign
national territorial landmasses, and those of islands in all the
oceans surrounding the seven continents that make up humankind's common
home, our egregiously-trashed biosphere (that we risk ending up making
uninhabitable and becoming an extinct species eventually - if we aren't
more sensible about preserving the natural world's biodiversity
hotspots, incidentally).
As serious and committed libetarians,
who disapprove of the illiberalism of extremists, on the right and
left, globally, who are purveyors of nanny-state do-as you-are-told,
not-as-we-do policies, which create fear and division amongst targeted
demographics worldwide, why do we not find a commonsensical
middle-ground solution, for those who seek to be free, to live the way
they want, without offending or victimising others, by self-identifying as
transgender individuals, for example?
Perhaps, dear
critical-reader, by simply allowing individuals conceived and birthed
as biological females, who, when they reach the age of majority, then
self-identify as transgender males, to use only female facilities in
public spaces, and compete with only females in all sports competitions
they participate in, we might finally find a commonsensical concensus-building strategy to help us make some headway towards ending that particular thorny cultural wars social controversy?
Ditto
achieve the same end, by also asking those conceived and birthed as
biological males, who then, when they reach the age of majority,
self-identify as transgender females, to also use male only facilities
in public spaces, and compete with only males, in all sports
competitions they participate in, by passing legislation to bedrock that
worldwide? Surely, that might help end the daft cultural wars, now
being waged so ferociously, by mostly hypocritical extremists, on both
the far right and far left, worldwide? No?
Post Script:
It also occurs to one that the wealthy Global North nations trying to protect the rights of LGBTQ1+ demographics across Africa, who publicy threaten governments in the continent that pass legislation to criminalise aspects of same sex relationships, ought to stop making such unhelpful culturally inappropriate public threats - and rather focus on quietly funnelling all cancelled aid money directly instead to helping empower LGBTGQ+ individuals and communities (as well as those who dare to speak out publicly, to demand that the human rights of LGBTQ1+ individuals and communities,
ought to be respected and protected), to bootstrap their own way to financial independence, by funding livelihood training initiatives, and funding innovative and potentially profitable impactful start-ups, for those unfairly oppressed Africans.
After all, is wealth not as well respected in all of Africa, as it is in the rest of the world, and thus can help mak sure that its demographics' cohorts (including LGBTQI+ denigraohics) of wealthy individuals, are also allowed to be themselves, regardless, peacefully, lol, one asks? A word to the wise...
