The Non Binary World

As much as I would like to ignore the non binary gender evolution trend, it's probably not possible. The world has become so non identity oriented that it accepts the idea that a person is "non binary. That is, the person sees sex as so relative that one can be born either male or female. It's great from my perspective that anyone can identify the way the wish. Yet, when I have to pay taxes to support that imaginary identification I part ways with supporting the creation of tansgender or non binary rest rooms and the like. I support everyone's right to identify with whatever they wish, until I am asked to pay taxes to support those choices.

One study in the American Journal of Public Health estimates that there are almost 1 million adults in the U.S. that say their sex is transgender (a person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth).  The number of non-binary (someone who doesn't identify exclusively as female/male) people in the U.S. is estimated to be between 245,000 and 350,000. Essentially, psychiatrist as recently as 50 years ago identified those tarnsgender and non binary people as "gender confused", giving their claims no validity. But today we can be what we want, I guess. That includes demanding that other people pay for what is either gender confusion or third fourth or even more new sexual classifications.

Enough of the population of t he U.S. has slowly begun to accept, or at least not oppose that for many people, gender is much more complicated than simply being a man or a woman. That third gender, neither exclusively male or female,  is the new non binary sex.  More than one third of transgender people describe themselves as non binary, which the National Center for Transgender defines as "people whose gender is not exclusively male or female, including those who identify with a gender other than male or female, as more than one gender, or as no gender, identifying as a combination of genders or not identifying with either gender at all."  Are you confused too?

Right now there is little controversy about the concept of non binary here. We are a nation that approves of people doing their own thing. But as the transgender and non binary lobby pushes for more and more "rights" to accommodate their demands for recognition as a third sex, I suspect the issue will be a hot button one. As the non believers to pay for the non binary/transgender demands with additional taxes will push a few buttons that could result in ugly discrimination and treatment against the non binary/transgender population.

Social change used to come slowly, but society today is an instant gratification realm, and this issue will probably bring about a new social paradigm that will lead to society approval or rejection of non binary sexual being. Where do you stand on public financing, as in requiring all businesses to build transgender and non binary rest rooms, of additional sexual identities? Are you willing to provide that funding for even more new sexual identities?
