The outrage over March 31'st being trans visibility day feels disingenuous and extremally hypocritical. Leftist opinion

So, your an "SJW/woke/snowflake" if your a minority and you get offended by how your being treated by conservatives and express that and that's a bad thing but if conservatives feel like Christianity is being disrespected and they complain about it that's somehow not "being a woke SJW snowflake" and is also perfectly fine?

Also, it doesn't seem Christ like at all to get offended by this, especially when the Bible doesn't mention trans people at all.

In addition, I don't understand why conservatives are pretending that they'd be fine with trans day of visibility if it was on any other day. I guarantee you wouldn't be.

How would you suggest it’s handled? If you were told that the best way to alleviate gender dysphoria is to allow people to express themselves in the way that makes them feel less distress would you accept that as valid treatment of mental illness? I know you wouldn’t but why not?

People are allowed to express themselves however they want. There is absolutely zero restriction on that. A man can dress as a woman, act like a woman, get hormone treatment, do whatever. He can dress like a dog if he wants to.

The issue isn’t that people want to express themselves a certain way. The issue is that the supporters of the movement want to control how society reacts to that and want society to alter reality to accommodate that.

Consider a schizophrenic person says they see Micky Mouse dancing on a table at dinner. A therapist might lean into that - “how does Mickey Mouse make you feel?”. But that doesn’t mean society, or people, have to start putting up signs saying “this is a Mickey Mouse safe zone”. And Biden has to honor “schizophrenic day of visibility” where we all admit Mickey Mouse is dancing on a table just to make them feel better. On the flip side, we don’t need to say “everyone seeing Mickey Mouse is an idiot!”. Being mean won’t help.

That’s what’s happening and that’s the difference.
