Is the ACLU 6 years old?

What are “trans kids”? Adults who call themselves children?
What does it mean to say that X people should be able to exist freely, fully, and joyfully? It sounds nice at first blush, but if you pause to think about it it becomes nonsensical. Everyone “should” be able to be [any number of things] but there are often obstacles to being [any number of things]. It’s not just a matter of power or permission or refusal of same, it’s also a matter of reality, ability, chance, history, in short of what is possible and what isn’t. You might as well claim that people should be able to be birds or whales or the solar system.
Children who claim to be the other sex should be free to play with gender norms, but they aren’t able to be the other sex, and they should be made aware that they should not be free to force their gender fantasies on other people. Soppy blather about living fully and joyfully doesn’t change that.
