    I get what you are saying, but the modern transgender model is not the only way forward for someone who feels gender queer. I do not appreciate how it is now not just the de facto model, but the only recognized one. Not everyone who is gender queer finds representation in this model.

      My point is just that skepticism of “the whole transgender thing” is deeply damaging in the same way that skepticism of mental health treatment in general is, and that, likewise, skepticism of either as a general concept should not be tolerated in public spaces; not that debating over the details of what trans identity can or should mean is verboten.
