It takes courage to speak your views openly; I applaud you.

I share many of them -- perhaps all. I used to concern myself a great deal with these questions; but I reached a consensus with myself some time ago, and after that I moved on. I have a piece on this subject here on Medium if you want to read it.

The idea that gender is [mere] construct is laughable, especially when you know where it came from (radical feminism). Heteronormativity, as an objective quality, seems baked into the human condition, just as the ability to see, hear, walk, etc, are; but people are born blind, deaf and lame, nonetheless. While some primitive cultures blame the victim, people nowadays generally understand that you aren't guilty because of the hand you're dealt.

Gender dysphoria is an observable, verifiable fact; "being transgender" is a belief meant to explain to ourselves why we experience gender dysphoria. Beliefs are beliefs.

I see myself as a woman and believe I am a woman; but, I also admit this is a belief. I need to do this in order to have peace with myself; but I also know that I could be wrong. I just choose not to live there; it isn't functional, for me.

Don't be silent. If the malcontents and ideologues shut down dissenting voices, then theirs are the only views that are expressed. It seems to me we had a rather dramatic example of that, a few years ago, with catastrophic results.
