In the 20th century, progressive movements had a positive impact on ensuring that formerly marginalized and discriminated against people were treated fairly.  Affirmative action proved positive in many people's lives.

But once the big issues got at least partially dealt  with, the progressive momentum hasn't been able to stop itself and in some cases has just jumped the shark.  This transgender issue is one of these cases.

Childhood/adolescence is when a young person discovers who they are - and in the vast majority of cases, they end up settling with whatever gender they were born with.  Recently I talked about this with my 85 year old mother, who if born now would have been caught up in this - she passionately wished to be a boy as a child.  She grew up, fell in love, had 4 children - and  retained stereotypically male interests.   No domestic goddess she. 

Today, there's a good chance her .children wouldn't be born since her gender issues wouldn't be resolved.
