Gender dysphoria is a psychiatric disorder, not reality. We’re not just being asked to join in the disorder, we’re being forced to go along with it. This is not different to someone declaring that they are a baby and forcing daycare businesses to accept a diaper-wearing adult, or declaring they are a dog and forcing a kennel to accept and house them as a dog.

Compassion and empathy shouldn’t require society to pretend that the delusion is real.

What we should be saying is XY is male and XX is female, and how you choose to dress or live is your business as long as you don’t impose on others. Invading single sex safe spaces is not part of the deal.

As a gay man, I have no respect for or desire to interact with deluded young women suffering from the disordered fantasy that they, too, are gay men. It is profoundly insulting and arrogant of them to dismiss the lifelong embodied physicality of the gay male experience. Attaching a skin noodle to one's pelvis and disfiguring one's chest with fake nipples and crescent-shaped boob scars is no substitute for growing up as a boy, then a teen and then into adulthood as a man-loving male. I am still fuming over the online male masturbation community that had the unspeakable audacity to not only admit pseudo men as members (the result was disgusting visuals) but celebrate them and stifle dissent.
