Your post is profound. I had never thought of it that way. Transgender status is really the 1% showing off their money and power, and rubbing the rubes’ faces in the fact that they (the 1%) can do what they want without consequence.

You can see how much things have changed in 8 years. The article refers to “she - he, then -”, which wouldn’t be allowed now.
