It's been a long time since we were last at war, and people have just got to comfortable in their fantasies.

Now I've got nothing against Frank if he wants to dress up as a women, he's free to do what he wants, and that's how it should be, but at the same time he has no right to force people into accepting his fantasies as truth.

I actually don't 100% disagree but it's also far from being as simple as that. True transgender issues are very real, have always been very real and will continue to be real under any circumstance. Male and female brains are, verifiably, different in how they fundamentally work. There are cases of the "wrong brain being in the wrong body" - it does happen, it's medically "provable".

However where I don't disagree... Is in that I think people's heavy focus on "gender issues" and just how intrinsic it has become to so many people's sense if identity is, in large part, down to generations of young adults who have now been raised entirely in a world of hyper-consumerism. Corporate entities have created a world that is entirely driven towards shallow, entirely empty, profit-driven pursuits... and it's left people desperately clamouring for a sense of community and personal identity that has been all but completely lost. What we're seeing is young people becoming adults desperate to define themselves - "I am THIS, I am THAT, call me THIS" - because the horrendous truth is that people today have absolutely no sense of who or what they are, or what their purpose is at all.
