Someone could be powerful, rich, privileged, lucky, beautiful and actually you still have a moral duty to be decent to them. You don’t get to opt out of decency based on the social hierarchy in either direction.

In all this competitive victimhood, this willful ignoring of luck, money, privilege to claim an oppressed identity, it looks to me like there’s an ambition to a negate responsibility for being good to others. If you are the ultimate victim you are only owed, you don’t owe.

Thus you get people with surprising pronouns posting about waitresses getting the surprise pronouns wrong. No sense that there’s a moral duty to treat waitresses well. (Which is obviously the most sacred moral duty.)

In my opinion, this is the main draw of transgender id for many teens girls (at least the ones in my circle). Conscious or not, it's opportunity to be absolved of the "privilege" guilt and get an instant ticket into the victim camp. Obnoxious behavior & actual dysphoria follow.

I recognize some people have genuine GD, but I have seen far too many cases where there does not appear to be underlying dysphoria, and trans ID creates a euphoria. But once they cross-sex presentation starts, it has a way of creating an actual, genuine dysphoria. So complex!
