    And even if gender or orientation was a choice (not implying that it is), it would be a choice that is infinitely less harmful to the people around you.

      sure, maybe - conservatives tend to overreact to news about gay and trans and I’m not entirely willing to say what they experience is not a kind of harm (even if we aren’t sympathetic to their feelings), but this theoretical exercise is pointless since being gay and trans are biological and genetic conditions that can’t be altered - you’re stuck with your gender identity and sexual orientation.
