Resisting Change In North Carolina

IF NOTHING ELSE, surely we can all agree that change, in some form, is inevitable, if only because we all grow old and die. Change happens. Political ideology, ultimately, may consist of nothing more important than determining the rate of future change. The more conservative you are, the more slowly you want change to occur, the more reluctantly you relent to change and the inevitable evolution of tradition. A radical liberal wants major change, right now. Granted, there was a time when men were men and women were women, and it was as simple as that. But all that seems to be changing. There are, it is estimated, roughly seven hundred thousand trans gender Americans among us. That number may seem shocking to some. To others, it might be disgusting, repulsive. Whatever the case, let's agree on this; its really happening, here in the real world. Seven hundred thousand is a lot of people, it would seem. Are these transgender folks just gay, and want to be straight? Or is the urge for gender change something much deeper, something incredibly more than that? Has this urge always been with us, but suppressed, like homosexuality? Probably. There must have been a lot of secretly very frustrated folks back in the day. Frustrated, fearful, angry. House Bill Two in North Carolina is nothing more or less than conservatism, fighting for tradition, and against change, in a desperate last gasp effort, which is, quite obviously, doomed to failure. Tradition always gives way to change, no matter ow rapidly or slowly. All these hundreds of thousands of transgender people aren't just making all this stuff up, just to be ornery - obviously. They know which restroom they want to use, for damned sure, and guess what? it aint the one on their birth certificate. Throw in the Federal Department of Justice, Big "O", and the teeming masses of screeching American liberals, and there appears to be a not inconsiderable array of forces directed against extreme North Carolina conservatism. With regard to accepting and treating at least seven hundred thousand somewhat non traditional Americans in the way they want to be treated, and not the way we have traditionally treated them, change is inevitable, change is coming, its just a matter of time, so let's get on with it, post haste, no matter how long it takes.
