In reply to GrafZeppelin127. Of course they can't wrap their heads around it. Everything in their world is binary. Being transgender leaves too much gray area and is not either/or. Their minds a'splode just trying to understand the premise, much less empathizing.

The worst part is the refusal to ever, ever, ever listen to someone else’s experience. Hey, I’m a white man and the cops never hassle ME! Therefore you’re full of it when you say the cops hassle YOU. I’m a woman and I’VE never felt like I was a man, therefore you’re lying and perverse if you say you feel like a man. Such an astonishing dearth of empathy.

Forget homosexuality; transgenderism is something conservatives simply cannot wrap their heads around. They cannot comprehend, reason out or even conceptualize what it is or what it means, let alone investigate or learn anything about it. Their only possible response is to dismiss it entirely, as something that doesn’t really exist at all; anything else is beyond their capacity.

Not only does the brief rely on dictionary definitions, it also never uses pronouns to refer to Gavin Grimm. The first is lazy and sloppy, the second is a more-or-less direct insult. Internet trolls grow up to become state Attorneys General. Who knew?

The Obama Administration chimed in when the case was at the District level. It will be interesting to see what they do at the Circuit level.

“To say that is to not even recognize or acknowledge transgender identity.”

Yup. That’s exactly what they think.
