But this is trivially true, and not an argument for or against any policy. If you stopped trying to prevent people from murdering each other, the murder rate would also rise rapidly and then plateau. In general, if you stop punishing people for doing something, it will be done more often but not necessarily 100% of the time no matter what it is.
I presume that the author's intention is to imply that being transgender is like being left handed in that it is an innate quality which cannot be changed even if it is suppressed, but there's nothing in what he wrote here which is an argument for that implication.
How is being trans comparable to murder?
How is it helpful or healthy to compare trans people existing to murder?
Why do you now feel guilty for typing this bigoted shit when you know deep down it's how you feel?
This is called self reflection.
You need to start asking yourself these kinds of questions before you give in to that part of your brain that gives you a dopamine reward for saying edgy things with plausible deniability.
Weird how you both demonstrate understanding and a lack of understanding at the same time
I mean, for normal people, we get the implication of his comment and what he means with it.
We don't need it spelled out for us as to not confuse it with legalization of murder.
I don't understand how your mind could even go there.
People have been saying transgender people are new and that "they" are converting kids trans, which justifies the increase
There are obviously other "arguments" against trans people, but they arent addressed in this post
