Anyone who’s ever watched the Simpsons knows Troy McClure is an idiot who is almost always shills for the most wrong side of an issue and is morally bankrupt. So maybe not the best choice for a political message but I mean- I would expect Troy McClure to be too dumb to understand the distinction between man made concepts and biological facts.
Troy is conflating the social construct of gender with the biological construct of gender. The problem being common as gender can be used to apply to biological sex or gender identity.
No shit people are biologically distinct. Texas used to be part of Mexico. Now we call it Texas and it is part of the USA. Nothing changed- it didn’t move locations or change climate- because human beings can create words and concepts and apply them and change them without altering a physical object. Try it right now. If you start calling your dog a cat- it will not transform into a cat, but… the world won’t end either! Parents used to call all…
.. videogames “Nintendo” and then “PlayStation” etc- surprisingly a million Sega consoles didn’t transform of course- but… people also got along just fine and generally when a mom said “No playing Nintendo after 10!” You’d know what she meant. No chaos or destruction. That’s how names work- we can actually change labels of things! Language is cool because it has that sort of adaptability. And well- these examples… they aren’t human beings who posses language and can tell us they prefer to be called a certain thing. Ever met someone who goes by “bill” and their name is “William” or “Chris” as a “Christine” or “Christopher”? Did you shout at them about how calling themselves “bill” or whatever doesn’t change their Birth certificate? “You know even if you write “C-H-R-I-S” it’s still spelled “C-H-R-I-S-T-I-N-E!!!”
Man. That Troy McClure sure is dumb and always good as a comedic foil for his hilarious idiocy.
