Danish fabulist Hans Christian Andersen wrote a wonderful story, The Emperor’s New Clothes, about a king who walked around in his underwear in the misguided belief that everyone could see his invisible suit of clothes. The con men who sold the king on this ridiculous idea told him that his suit of clothes would be visible to everyone except those who are stupid or incompetent. The townsfolk go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid. “Look at the king’s magnificent suit of clothes,” they proclaim. The same situation is happening today as a group of dysfunctional people allege thatthey can change their birth sex. Instead of calling them out, our society accepts it.
