BEST OF TST - Gaypril is in the Air: LGBTavistock (4/16/24)

April is gaypril and the 17th is a Day of Silence to commemorate the fallen letters that suffered under variously interpreted forms of bigotry. Yet there is no day to commemorate the bigotry against people, including some letters, who simply choose another lifestyle, i.e., over 95% of the world population. The growing number of days, weeks, and months dedicated to sex and gender hyperinflates personal preferences, and activist theories, as abstract social issues. The most recent study on transgender care over 15 years found that only 4% of all people, beginning at 11, who feel odd about their gender still feel the same way by age 25. Those 4% were also correlated with general “poor self-concept and mental health.”
