Chapter 27: The Debate Verse 2

Tailor took a deep breath and interjected in the heated debate. "Can I say something? I think both of you are missing the point."

Rachelle and Noah looked at him, curious to hear what he had to say.

"I've been listening to your arguments, and while both have valid points, they both assume that government is about control. But it's not. It should be about facilitating the functions of the community," Tailor said.

Rachelle and Noah were surprised by Tailor's stance, and they both looked at him with newfound respect.

"I'm a trans man," Tailor continued. "And my experience with medical professionals has shown me that governing bodies tend to focus on violating bodily autonomy first, and building a community later."

Noah nodded in agreement. "I understand what you're saying, Tailor. And I agree that the government should built service-first, but what about ignorance? Should we leave people to make dumb, sometimes dangerous choices?"

"People aren't built to know all the things," Tailor replied. "I do believe the conclusions of experts in their field should be respected and made available, but science is a moving target, and even a council of experts can make a catastrophic mistake. Why take responsibility from people? It just slows everything down with this blame-debate."

Rachelle chimed in. "But what about minority voices? How do we ensure that people are protected from the careless actions, or inaction, of the majority?"

Tailor thought for a moment. "If the government fosters an attitude of enablement and transparency, maybe society won't be so hung up on the right way to live? Maybe if government is more of an infrastructure than a shepherd, we'll learn to be less paranoid about replacement, and more focused on a healthy level of skepticism and reflection?"
