Transgenderism Gone Too Far?

In recent years, there have been huge pushes upon old social constructs, but have they gone too far? More specifically, transgenderism, or the belief that a person is of the opposite sex to which they were born with. This issue is more of a humanitarian issue, but there are too many factors and nuances that are also brought along with transgenderism to only be considered a humanitarian problem. Some problems that are also brought along with transgenderism include: separated gender spaces and activities (i.e. bathrooms, changing rooms, boy-scouts, and sports), transgender health care costs, and human self-integrity.

Just how I can’t become a true athlete a male cannot become a true female. We aren’t clownfish that can spontaneously change genders we can only simulate the experience to a very fine detail. Not only that, when we degrade human integrity people have a loose sense of who and what they are. As proof, the suicide rate amongst transgender people is upwards of 40%! This is a ridiculous number! This number is so high because transgendered people are looking for a reason in life and once they achieve one of their goals and see it didn’t do any good for them, they
