Fact is, suicide rates remain the same for transgender people before and after their surgeries. Fact is, there is no scientific evidence that having these surgeries increases their quality of life. Explain to me why suicide rates remain the same? To clarify, I actually have no problem if a particular person wants to chop their wang off or vice versa. I just have a problem when I am forced to abide by an ideology and use speech that I do not agree with. That is fascism. By all means, do what you think will make you happy. Just don't expect me to pay for it or believe in it. THIS IS WHY THIS IS A "FREE" COUNTRY.
Apparently.

Who exactly is forcing you to use speech that you don't agree with?
When have you been forced to call someone something you don't want to call them? What laws am I missing, and what exactly do you think "fascism" means, because I'm not sure you know what it means. It certainly doesn't mean giving the slightest bit of consideration to people by referring to them in the manner that they prefer.

I'll be damned if I ever refer to my wife as Ms. instead of Mrs.!
