How does that apply to the transgender issue?

Just because a man feels like a woman, does not mean he has to dress like one. (Especially since we've been told for the last 50+ years that there is no difference between men and women)

I have a disorder where I feel like I am a davar yesh bifnei atzmo while in truth I am really ayin v'efes mamash. It causes me a lot of distress and I have been trying to transition to my real identity.

Don't we all... I guess the disorder could be simply put we want to believe yesh m'ayin ... although if we were truly ayin then we can't possibly have that disorder...

One of the greatest fallacies of the trans movement. Until now telling women that they belong in dresses and high heels was sexism now if a man feels like a women he must dress in dresses put on makeup and wear high heels...

That's because they decide to.  No one is forcing a male-to-female transgender person to dress as a female.  Completely flawed argument that you seem to think is some huge fallacy.

I did not want to get involved in this discussion and I had a momentary slip. To explain myself would just drag me in even more so I will respectfully bow out

What does it mean at all? We teach children to Torah?

[Cheesecake]

To me, it means we don't care as much about faithful transmission of the Torah as much as how the children feel.

I'm sure he would deny that this was his intention, but that's where the emotional pull comes from.
