Exactly! The emperor has no clothes! Why does society have to cater to the whims of a mentally ill person?
There was a real-life king (King Charles something) that had episodes where he was made out of glass. He would have his servants pack him in straw and carry him everywhere so that he wouldn't break.
Chaucer(?) wrote a poem about it and it made the rounds in the community. Soon other people were coming down with these beliefs that they were made out of glass. This went on for a couple hundred years in the Middle Ages.
All sorts of other social contagions out there (the “crying” disease back in the day in Africa, anorexia, cutting, school shootings, etc.)
The huge increase in transgenders (especially young girls) also points to a social contagion for much of it.
Calling them by their requested name or pronoun doesn't change the fact that they are still the sex they were born with - but it will reinforce their wrong ideas. (Just like a teacher calling the student stupid enough times will make the kid think that he really is stupid. But instead he just needs eyeglasses.)
I wonder if the trans-activists would say “But King Charles really WAS made out of glass. Do you really think he would have gone to all of that trouble if he really wasn't?”
Being transgender is a disconnect between the mind and the body. The trans-activists think that it is easier to change the body than the mind. But in the end, they are just fooling the mind (in successful cases). So it is still all in the mind.
