Transgenderism is clearly a first-world problem in a nation that isn’t serious.
And if you’d like to know the root; “what started all this?

That made me think of this, from https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/OlderThanTheyThink/RealLife
“"Members of the victorious outfits will be given individual trophies. A participation trophy also will be given each athlete playing in the series." Yeah, those Millennials, coddled
by their parents and suffering such a huge sense of entitlement — oh, wait, that's actually from a 1922 newspaper article about a state high school basketball tournament in Ohio.
By the time people started complaining about participation trophies in The '90s, they'd long been a staple of competitions in America. Hell, the Olympic Games has a "participation trophy" spirit, with many athletes joyfully announcing they're just thrilled to be in the Games regardless of whether they win any medals, and carting home memorabilia of their time there.”
“Transgenderism is clearly a first-world problem in a nation that isn’t serious.”
People are being killed for being identified as Transgendered. On the one hand, that makes me think this really is serious.
On the other hand, I just keep remembering those news articles from a few years back. An African country had a problem with sorcerors stealing men’s penises, and people were being killed in attempts to stop it. People around me laughed at how superstitious and primitive the people were, there.
We think of ourselves as advanced and rational, but then so many believe that gays are recruiting, transgenders are being forced, and surgeons are performing bottom surgery on 7 year olds… Makes me think we’re 3rd Worlders.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
