  1. It's not really the right who blew up the issues of identity policy. To recognize groups that are at disadvantage and trying to improve them is a priori a good thing to do. Most can at least passively support it and see what is discussed. But the problem arise when the groups that are said to be at disadvantage to some degree become competitive and divisive. This is also recognized in marxist theory and can be deliberately used to divide societies. And this was what happened with the trans issue, girls/women who are typically at comparative disadvantage with boys/men of having resources for their sports are suddenly sidestepped by an average individual who have the physical advantage of having had a testosterone level they never would have been allowed to compete with. And these girls/women are basically told to suck it up and be kind of glad that they are in majority. Or the redefinition of the meaning of the concepts of sex/gender and "trans" or how we understand it in terms of biological reproduction function and how we recognise it: there are some physical signs that usually is a telltale of whether an individual is a man or a woman. It is confusing if an individual is not expected to do anything at all to present in a way that is important for that individual to be recognised as but instead the people around yhat individual are expected to "transform" their view of how they recognise a man or a woman but still acknowledge the individual who don't care at all about how they present as the one being "trans". It may seem petty but if we are to be able to find some common ground with other people even in disagreements there must be possible to communicate in a way where words actually have meaning. And as I believe it was Elton John who said that the sex is not decided on whether a person want to wear glitter. The other issue is that it is somewhat being pushed onto kids, sometimes by organisations that have quite the abusive language. Kids who are neither even old enough to get a tatto and nor have the maturity to be able to give relevant consent to treatments that will have them sterilised (often at an age where they may difficult to differentiate whether there is an actual gender dysphoria or whether they are at odds with the different social expectations of girls and boys (or even homophobia). The latter is typically not solved by sexchanging treatments.

  2. The male penguins also incubate the eggs for about 65 days when the female go to feed after laying the eggs. So maybe there is a culture of equality with the penguins that annoys modern day human conservative politicians?
