Everytime I hear the word nowadays it seems to be used in a gender bending, social justifying context; it makes me laugh because the people using it instantly become cartoons, shouting slogans that no one understands or cares to.

So today I decided to explore the topic of validity.

Dictionary definition:

Validate:

1) To make valid; substantiate; confirm.

2) to give legal force to; legalize.

3) to give official sanction, confirmation, or approval to, as elected officials, election procedures, documents, etc.

So we know that the T isnt banned from thinking that they are T, they also are able to transition if they want to, so definition 2 is definitely out.

So number 3 is "give official sanction to", as most of us know, changing legal definitions is going to cause problems further down the line, but this is an area the T wants to change so they can have their imagined sex on their passport, etc.

So number 1 is their core issue, confirming they are valid. But what does this mean? Are we confirming they are people, or just confirming the lie they invented? Because from what I can see, validation completely relies on validating a lie. When you validate that absolute untruth, you also deny your own reality.

Why are we being pushed so hard to validate a non reality? When we validate a non reality, are we slowly being groomed to validate other things that arent true?

To me it seems like validation is giving authenticity to a thought pattern which is damaging. Nothing means anything, everything is vague and redefinable etc. It allows for a constant spiral into nothingness, and no debate is ever winnable because nothing has concrete definitions.

What do you think about validation? Does it make you laugh out loud? Do you cringe? Have any deeper thoughts on what this obsession with validation is?
