Weighing benefits against costs is the way most people make decisions — and the way most businesses make decisions, if they want to stay in business. Only in government is any benefit, however small, considered to be worth any cost, however large. —Thomas Sowell

Ironically, the transgender movement is the grandest single manifestation of white privilege and mansplaining that exists.
