No, the upper class cared about the land, not the people, at least not people without a coat of arms to call their own. In fact some medieval rulers outright invited peasants from sometimes distant (by the era's standards) regions to settle on sparsely populated lands, so that they would farm...

A lot of them are not protected by the constitution at very least. For one propagandizing for it, contrary to what all the activists thing, is not something they are entitled to do in any public institutions, especially public schools, even if teachers agree. Nothing stops the government from...

Depends. The smart ones would say that "Live and let live" is supposed to work both ways and the left side obviously has been reneging on their side of the deal for a long time.

>San Francisco Virtue signalling and letting criminals go free, probably.

It does raise a very revealing pattern shared with equally institution focused, based on exaggerated to catastrophic degree narrative arguments regarding at least few other left wing causes, like the climate change agenda and gun control agenda.

Typical leftist activist thing. The doctrine is that the T suicide rate is so high because the rest of society is not automatically enthusiastic about giving them everything they want, so they feel sad and kill themselves, because bloody hell they have a right to everything they decide that they...

"Transphobia" specifically is not a crime though, even in woke UK it's a "non-crime hate incident". Yet there are indeed people who think it is or at least should be considered a crime, which seems to be the faction presented there.

Well, if you pick the sufficiently fringe section of any group, you will also get a sufficiently extreme opinion out of it. But how common and influential are these people really?

That is a bit of a shallow perception of the problem with them, that can only be corrected by careful observation of them. It would be bad enough if that was the case, but it is something worse - they are not only zealous adherents alphabet soup identity, they also consider it a part of global...

There is dyeing your hair a weird color and dressing oddly kind of teenage rebellion where your comments may apply, but when the rebellion is an identity that implies attempts at impersonation of the other sex through chemical and surgical means with all the lifelong implications they carry...

This goes into all the reasons why no one is doing co-ed prisons, especially for serious offenders.

Yeah, such social roles are an interesting, possibly unobtrusive and low cost alternative to medical intervention for some mental illnesses (and let's not forget the isolative aspect of many monastic traditions, conveniently replicating the role of an asylum as far as general society is...

Some traditional societies do, some don't, and it also varied with given case. For an interesting comparison, take the theory that in Norse society (and many other, particularly more warlike cultures, had similar ideas) the concept of "berserker" was used as a path for people with certain...

I think many see it in the category not of social expectations, but of biological ones. There are all sorts of odd, extreme, and more or less rare medical conditions that cause people to have some parts of their organisms develop in ways different from what would be considered "a healthy...

I think it would be a perfect solution in general, however the reality is that transgender activists are a litigious and drama loving sort, and modern American media sphere is also a litigious and drama loving sort, so combining the tendencies of the two, it's inevitable that cases where such a...

If we had some sci fi technology like Culture that actually can give them "the parts", that would be a different discussion. The best current medical science does is "crude, mostly non functional imitation of the parts". Disregarding the fact that this still would be some steps away from making...
