How about when the popular thing is dehumanizing to a group of people that present no threat to others?
Transgender and sports

Insisting that you are cis can also can be a mental issue, when you are not cis. Anything can be a mental issue if what you believe is harmful to yourself or others.
Frankly, you're just showing your abysmal ignorance of the subject if you think there are never biological underpinnings to being trans. I'm open to discussion and disagreement, but I don't open my mind to the point my brain falls out.
There is nothing to gender but thought and performance. I remember a day when conservatives understood there was a difference between being an adult male and being a man, or between being an adult female and being a woman. Gender is entirely mental and social. That's why several cultures have recognized three or four genders for centuries.
They are not pretending. They are not drag queens (usually), they are not putting on an act, they are not faking.
Again, your obvious ignorance of basic biology is the real stumbling block here.
If you are right, here's one that should be easy for you: name a method of determining sex that always matches the gender assigned at birth to a person.

I just find it funny that the state legislature cares so much about something that affects 0.000053333% of student athletes and 0.00000123% of our population yet also tells us that we should have stopped caring about Covid a year ago when the mortality rates were closer to 1%.

Welcome to the party pal! That is popular opinion. It is why I've been saying that democracy is dangerous and needs to be constrained by the structures of a republic.

They care about what affects biological females (over 50% of the population).
If they cared about biological females, they would be passing a completely different set of laws.
The one trans student who is playing female sports in Utah is not affecting me, a cishet female, in the least. Nor any of the females among my family and friends.
I'm angry that the state is planning a special session to approve $500,000 for the inevitable lawsuits that will happen. We could use that money in a way that impacts children is a positive way, like lessening child abuse. Instead, we are going to make those who profess to believe in Christ feel better as they do the exact opposite of what he would do.
Apparently that one trans athlete isn't ruining female high school sports in this state as none of us know who she is.

Guess that’s why they are so passionate about women’s rights.

I can appreciate your opinion on this issue just I'd appreciate an opinion that there shouldn't be a sentencing disparity between men and women who commit the same crime or a disparity in how men and women are treated in family court. Our government protects women and that includes protecting women from biological males who call themselves women. Our government will wear that '$500k to defend women' as a badge of honor, especially if they're young, cute and athletic. I don't make the rules and you can hate me for saying it but we all know this is how it works.

You are delusional if you don't think women don't have more rights than you. If you got a girl pregnant and unilaterally decided to end the life of that fetus you'd be charged with fetal murder. If the girl decided unilaterally to kill your baby then it is considered "choice". I'm no men's right advocate and broadly support most of the disparities in the system. I'm fine with men getting longer sentences in criminal court for the same crime. Men do most of the crime and especially most of the violent crime. I think women should win custody of kids almost always. If women did lose the ability to choose to terminate a pregnancy then it would put them on the same footing as men. The debate in our society is not about if men and women should have the same rights, but how many more rights women should have than men.

So here I meant “sex” not gender. There is a spectrum as far as gender goes. But things like sports are actually divided into sexes, and no matter how far you may be on the gender spectrum you still do not belong to the other sex.
Again, I should have used the word “sex” not gender here. Sports are broken into “sexes” not “genders” and you do not belong to the other sex no matter how far you may be on one end of the gender spectrum.
I’m not implying they are. The word “pretending” is directed at you.
I should have used the word “sex” several times instead of “gender” and that’s my bad.
