Why would anybody take it too far? Perhaps I can help you to learn how to think so you don't have to go through life always feeling you're being reamed, unless, of course, that's your goal in life. Well, never mind then. I think the evidence is pretty clear on that.Top grammar school bans teachers from calling its pupils 'girls'
Altrincham Grammar School for Girls in Manchester fears that using the 'g-word' could result in pupils who are changing sex being 'misgendered'.www.dailymail.co.ukSchool ban on calling pupils 'girls', to protect transgender pupils
The principal said using the term 'girls' could result in transgender pupils being ‘misgendered’www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
At first I had to check my calendar to see if it was April's Fools Day, nope. They have Girls in the name of the school but have banned the word girls from language at the school to more inclusive to trans. When does this insanity end and when is it taking it too far?
Being trans is not a mental illness.
It's definitely delusion, at least.

I believe you are very wrong, but I haven't heard what underlies your statements. Please elaborate.
If a man sincerely believes he is a woman, he is deluded. Just as he would be if he thought he was a gorilla. Or 40 years old when he is in fact 60.
Is that what trans men generally believe (that they are in fact women)?
No. Generally trans people do not believe they have the reproductive organs of another sex. If they did, that would be delusional.
Why is any of this up to you to decide? How did you get the right to dictate to other people how they may or may not live their own lives?If a man sincerely believes he is a woman, he is deluded. Just as he would be if he thought he was a gorilla. Or 40 years old when he is in fact 60.

I don't normally wade into topics like this...but someone that is religious tossing out the word delusional in regards to transgender is well...fucking laughable.
Is praying to the grand sky wizard any less delusional?
That I may be delusional according to atheists doesn't mean that a man believing he is a woman isn't.
Why is any of this up to you to decide? How did you get the right to dictate to other people how they may or may not live their own lives?
And couldn't it also be considered a delusion to believe that the inability to control other people lives is the same as being oppressed?
People have the right to peaceably live their lives how they wish. They don't have the right to expect me to sanction it. Tolerance is a two way street.
Male and female are sex characteristics, not gender characteristics. Transgender people do not believe they are of the opposite sex.
What if they get the surgery?
As far as I can tell here the two way street of tolerance involves you calling them delusional and them tolerating you calling them delusional.
Would you consider an atheist to be tolerant of your religion if they described you as delusional?
Then they would actually have the physical characteristics of another sex, wouldn't they?
Amazingly, one person can believe something wholly incompatible with something another person believes with neither person being delusional.
I guess that distinction confuses me. If I separated my biological species from my perceived species, claiming I identified as a gorilla, would that warrant societal acceptance and accommodation, and even enforcement (requiring people by law to use preferred pronouns)?

Of course. They already do. Tolerance ends when force becomes involved.

If a man got surgery to create (or in truth simulate) the sexual anatomy of a woman, and thus truly believed he was a woman, would he be delusional?
The distinction is that sex describes biological characteristics and gender describes how they present themselves socially and culturally. When someone is transgender this describes that they present socially and culturally as a different gender than would generally be expected, it does not mean they believe they are a member of the opposite sex. It's pretty insulting to call someone delusional when you don't appear to understand the basics of what they are about.
If they believed that their anatomy was not a result of surgery, yes that would be delusional.
Right???As far as I can tell here the two way street of tolerance involves you calling them delusional and them tolerating you calling them delusional.
