Maybe you need to re-read it.

I have no interest in what TRA wants, or who they even are, and your suggestion is facile to say the least.

Other mammals seem to manage fine without sex segregation, and Jonathan Swift pointed out 300 years ago the stupidity of it all.

That is the point.
You add symbolic language to animals and you will get the evil we manage to perpetrate.
Swift saw man as evil, horses as benign.

I think girls and women should have the right to abortion, and the right not to be confined in prisons with convicts who have fully functional male genitalia. Support both rights and you almost certainly (barring other major problems with your politics) have my vote. Make me choose one or the other and I'll, well, choose one or the other.

Don't be ridiculous. Transgenderism would need decades to approach even a fraction of the harm the Party of Jebus has done by following the precepts of a literal fairy tale. It's frankly a drop in the bucket compared to that. A literal fairy tale.

What you mean like the several different species of mammal that form herds that are exclusively females and children, with the exception of a few males allowed to show up during mating season?

Don't worry, it's in its infancy. The Party of Jebus didn't really hit its stride until it had a solid 1000 years under its belt. At 20 years into their faith, the Jebuses were really just a group of weirdos, the True Faith of Gender has already surpassed them!

Lionesses do all the work in the pride, while the lion asserts dominance, takes naps, and murders any contenders to the throne. Cuckoos practice forced abortions and a creepy child adoption scam that would be horrific by the standards of human society.

Isn't there an insect that infiltrates a frog and consumes its mass to feed its offspring? The corporation has nothing on the ruthless exploitation of the animal kingdom.

One wonders how a female wildebeest who identifies as male would fare. One concludes that such maddened outliers would be culled quite early, in evolutionary time.

Which brings us to the present moment. An artificial energy surplus tricks us into thinking we can afford any number of evolutionary dead ends. But what is the far future of humanity?

Well, I don't see it. Religion is far more insidious than this could ever be and has far wider consequences. If this compels someone to vote Republican, they were already on the fence about a lot of the other Republican baggage. Especially with the abortion mess. None of this comes even close to balancing the scales.

Give it time. Women’s sports have already been compromised (which few in this thread seem to care about) and women are forced to share prison space with biological males. This has happened in the proverbial blink of an eye.

For some, pushing the "Transwomen are Women" agenda IS already a religion.
