Defining Transgender Folks Out Of Existence
THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, which in the Trump administration could aptly be renamed "The Department Of Human Disservices" is fully intending, according to a leaked document.,to reclassify transgender people, in essence to reclassify them according to their gender before they went to all that trouble to change their sex. The new classification will consist of identifying a person's gender based on whether the person's genitalia at birth were male, or female. Thus, for all intents and purposes, transgender people will be eliminated from the realm of the existing, since there will now be a complete failure to acknowledge transgender people as they currently exist. Possible motives for this can only engender speculation at this point. Perhaps President Trump, in a rare (or maybe not so rare) fit of pique and pettiness, has decided that he has had quite enough of people becoming dissatisfied with their God given genitalia, and has decided that no matter the expense, inconvenience, and trouble to which one has gone to become a gender other than that of which one was born, rejects the transition, and determines to stamp it out. Somehow, that seems plausible. Or, it may be that within the apparatus of the federal government it has been decided that transgender folks really do not exist, and that therefore to consider them as actually being present is without merit. It is frankly difficult to imagine any possible motive for this transgender refutation which has any sort of noble or generous origin or intent. It is very easy to imagine this reclassification to have emerged from within the twisted minds of people who despise transgender folk, think of them as "freaks", rather than people, and wish to eliminate them from society, if only by virtue of redefining them. Without question this action bespeaks the hidden hand of conservatism and Christianity, both philosophies of which are widely known to despise any form of sexual behavior, orientation, or culture which departs in the most minute manner from what their votaries consider to be morally acceptable. Aside from the well known fact that the American federal government is a secular rather than a religious entity, and that it is neither conservative nor liberal inherently, but open to all political persuasions, it begins to appear that christian conservatism has insinuated itself extremely snugly into the framework of the federal government apparatus. And this is a damned shame, because conservative christian values are not, one might surprisingly find, the values of Americans at large, being less popular nowadays than progressive and religiously diverse values, and in particular, civic values. Besides which, it is a damned shame that transgender people will apparently shortly be removed from existence by the U.S. government, considering that they shall remain quite demonstrably corporeal, whether some cockeyed government agency wants them to, or not.
