Princeton Prof: Transgenderism Not Scientific, ‘Superstitious Belief’
Breitbart ^ | 16 May 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D

Posted on 05/16/2016 5:35:29 AM PDT by detective

A noted Princeton University professor has attacked the very notion of transgenderism, saying that the belief “that a woman can be trapped inside a man’s body” is ludicrous and superstitious, with no basis in medical fact.

Robert P. George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton, sent out a tweet late Sunday evening questioning the science behind the transgender movement, in reaction to the Obama administration’s threatening letter to educators mandating accommodation of gender-confused teenagers.

GID (gender identity disorder)aka Gender Dysphoria is a mental disorder. The queers are trying to get it removed from the list, just like they did “homosexual”. What’s next, pedophilia, pederasty, bestiality, bi-polar psychopathic murderers?

All of the above except I think bi-polar murders are already on their way to decriminalization if the murderer is a mom who kills her own kids.

But if forced to predict, I'd say pedophilia. Gays like 'em young and that taboo is a real downer to a lot of them. And guess what? The same argument that made everyone fawn over gays works for pedophiles too! They were born that way, who are we to judge?! It's the same as skin color and gender, if you judge them you're the same as a RACIST! Wait for it, it's next.

Even if transwhatevers made up 99% of the population, common sense still says that women shouldn’t have to use the bathroom with men if they are bothered by that.

I honestly have come to believe that women (here comes the sweeping generalization...) are more bothered by being judged by others than they are about anything else. So apply social pressure to them and they wilt, even at the sacrifice of their own self interests. In the twitter era, they can be influenced to support the most ridiculous things thanks to a handful of prominent tweets and re-tweets. Over time it just seeps in that they need to get with the program or everyone will say their awful people. And so they do even if it means giving men in dresses more rights than they have themselves.

Yup, that we are even having this argument makes me think we are already at the point were maybe women really don’t care about men using their bathrooms. We’ll know if women actually care by what happens to Target in a few months or so. But Trump letting Bruce Jenner use the women’s bathrooms in his buildings makes me thing they might not really care. That could be because they have brainwashed to believe that men who claim to be women are actually lesbians, or that men and women have the same sexual drive.

Every blue collar dem I have talked to thinks this is nuts. But they were all men.

He will be forced out of being a professor very soon. No heresy against LGBTABC123 doctrine will be permitted on any college campus.

It seems to me that transgenderism is merely an extreme form of exhibitionism. Exhibitionism on steroids.

It publicly demands that inner imbalances be acknowledged, accepted and accommodated as if they were balanced and real.

It’s make-believe with a wink. Societal power and control.

Read the article you referenced; sounds like Dr. Mengele started his own school at Johns Hopkins.

“Transgender describes those individuals whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. A transgender male is someone who identifies as male but was assigned the sex of female at birth; a transgender female is someone who identifies as female but was assigned the sex of male at birth,” the letter asserts.

Excuse me? No one is assigned a gender at birth. Gender is fixed at the moment a male sperm or a female sperm enters the egg. Apparently, whoever wrote this letter believes that a baby has no genitalia until right after birth, when the doctor pronounces the baby boy or girl and then *poof!* genitalia appear. Like Schrodinger babies! I wonder how this letter writer explains ultrasounds that determine the gender of the baby before it is born?
