Just because you’re used to things working a certain way doesn’t mean that it has to be that way.

True.

Similar arguments have been used against things like abolishing slavery, women entering the workforce and the concept of secular education.

Slavery as it existed in the 1700s wasn't abolished because the rulers had an epiphany and realized the errors of their ways. It was (mostly, not entirely) abolished for practical reasons. Institutionalized slavery still exists. You have prison labor in countries like the US. We also see outsourced slavery to more degenerate countries like China, where they do have actual slaves or laborers who are slaves in every way but name. Have you ever heard of slave free cotton, or slave free cocoa? These words exist because slavery is not gone. Companies and us consumers around the world are indirectly benefiting from slave labor till this day. I have to look long and hard to find stuff that are more ethically produced, you should know that it's hard. We also see sex slavery, which intersects with the porn industry. Some of the women in porn could be trafficking victims. I wonder if liberals who goon to porn understand that.

Women working corporate jobs has brought a lot of economical advantages, no doubt. They pay taxes, they increase productivity, they saturate the job market, etc. But it came at the expense of the family unit, and birth-rates. You have a rising percentage of older people needing care, and a less percentage of younger people to care for and replace them. This is one reason why many western countries are inviting immigrants, to keep things sustainable. But for how long?

Women working is not a new phenomena. Child-rearing, taking care of the husband, taking care of the home, and doing everything a housewife does is a full-time job. It's an honorable job. You seem to have no issue with a woman being obedient to a boss in a corporation, and keeping a smile at all times lest she gets fired. But if it's her husband that she obeys, you suddenly get your panties in a twist.

Just like allowing people the gender identity that feels natural to them and respecting that reality.

It's so natural in fact, that we have an unprecedented number of "trans-youths". I wonder why. Maybe previous generations were just too scared to get out of the closet. Or maybe, it is because young boys and girls are being indoctrinated.

Again, same old “society can only work if we don’t change it to be more open towards people different from me” bigoted bullshit that has been spouted since marginalized people first started getting any rights.

Go and tell that to Ukraine.

Because society has evolved to the point that more people can come out as trans without fearing violence from bigots like yourself.

There isn't suddenly more trans people. People who would be trans no matter what are just being open about it to a larger degree for the abovementioned reason

Maybe previous generations were just too scared to get out of the closet.

Bingo. Better stop there.

Or maybe, it is because young boys and girls are being indoctrinated

Nope, more bigotry. That's exactly what your fellow bigots say about gay people. Do you believe there's a sinister "gay agenda" where people are trying to turn kids gay too?

Go and tell that to Ukraine.

Tell the country Ukraine what? That Russian imperialist aggression is because trans people? WTF are you smoking??
