I GOT BANNED FROM FACEBOOK ... TEMPORARILY!
It happened on January 9, 2019 CE. I was scrolling down in a Facebook group dedicated to discuss philosophy but mostly filled with non-philosophical pseudo-scientific pro/anti-religious threads (the same one I mentioned in my previous such personal post). There was a picture posted by a group admin. It stated:
⦁ There are only two genders in the world, XX and XY.
⦁ 99.93% of people belong to either of these two sexes. Anything else is a mutation, not the third gender.
⦁ People who think they were born with the wrong gender are victims of a psychological disorder.
⦁ Publicly declaring such beliefs (that one doesn't naturally own his correct gender) is a sociopath tendency.
I was surprised to read what I was seeing before my eyes because I was once criticized in strong words by some atheists for stating that homosexuality was a psychological disorder. Thus, I replied in these words:
"Let me rephrase it. You are stating that 99.93% of human population should identify themselves as either male or female. If someone thinks he/she is a man/woman inside a female/male body or the other way around, he's suffering from a mental weakness. Shemales are mutants. Transgenders are sociopaths because they publicly reveal their psychological disorder by actually undergoing a sex-change operation. Is this what you are implying?"
I was, let me clarify my position, not trying to discriminate shemales or transgenders. I am open to allow a third gender to intervene our civilization and claim equal treatment. Shemales are certainly neither males nor females. They don't need to identify themselves as either one of them. Transgender people can undergo a sex-change operation if they feel uneasy and uncomfortable with their natural gender. I most certainly do not consider them sociopaths. But I do believe that homosexuality is kind of a psychological disorder. I don't agree with APA's definition of homosexuality as an acceptable sexual orientation and not a paraphilia. I challenge that, if the West has broadened its sexual horizon to allow homosexuality to survive, why don't they let xenomalia (a non-sexual paraphilia) thrive too? But my worries are limited to homosexual relations and they don't extend to discriminate shemales or transgenders. In Pakistan, a shemale is known as a khusra. They are often seen begging, dancing or soliciting for sex on streets. I have deep sympathy for them and I do consider them an irremovable and respected part of our culture. I believe in treating people humanely irrespective of their religious, sexual, political or ethnic alienation. I also support rights of gays and lesbians to be treated as equals because, just because we consider a man a psychological patient, it doesn't give us the right to treat him like an animal. The same goes for pedophiles. Until unless they actually sodomize a child, they are innocent ere the eyes of the law.
The reason behind the creation of this post was, in fact, to clarify my own mind. Because nobody actually bothers to read this post. You people will be surprised to learn that, back in 2019 CE, I actually had to beg people to look at my blogs.
