And a certain section of society – including those who have the temerity to label people 'snowflakes' – will still be frothing at the gash about itin 20 years we will have a load of head f***ed spangletwatts not knowing wether they are Kanye or Karen , Derek or Debbie or indeed Sertash or Shimimani , such a f***ing pointless area of niche politics.
A lot of old man yells at cloud in this thread

i was once carried home from Cloisters by the ghost of Bill Haley.What is two-spirit? Is that like being fingered by a ghost?
Some of them might share those views, yes. But then some might not, so...would that be climate denialist , gammon , racist , homophobic, transphobic ,brexiteer , CJTC'S...??
some of these flakes are just plain odd snow or otherwise.

And I respectfully suggest that judging from the responses, that on NSC at least, drama queen would win by a mile
I don't know if anything has "gone wrong" necessarily.CIS man
I don't mind people identifying as other things, but I think when you have 20-30% of the youths saying they are "born with the wrong gender", you have to look for reasons. Maybe cultural impact or if there is something in our environment disturbing the process. If a lot of people think they were born into the wrong gender or wrong race or wrong whatever, something has gone wrong.
Brilliant post. I feel like the conversation around this has moved away from being understanding of how other people feel. The only way this makes sense is to accept that some people feel differently to how we feel.I don't know if anything has "gone wrong" necessarily.
I've taken the view that we're seeing a lot more people feeling comfortable identifying as trans because we live in a much more accepting world than ever before (whilst fully acknowledging that there's a f**k of a long way to go still). It makes me wonder how many people in the 50s / 60s / 70s etc. felt they had been born in the wrong body but did not, could not, say anything about it for fear of reprisal or ostracism.
I do believe that some people might be bandwagon-ing a bit but I don't think it's many. The human condition is a wickedly complex, difficult, brilliant, bonkers thing that I tend to think that if someone feels they've been born in the wrong body then they're probably right. How the shit do I know? I'm not them.
My personal view, is that we should accept them all, people should be free to identify as whatever they want as long as it doesn't affect others negatively.I would prefer it if Mustafa would tell us how many of the 19 choices , he and his Islamic friends would accept.
