Then they aren't transgender. Transgender necessarily means wanting to be the opposite sex.
This doesn't really mean anything.
This isn't true there are plenty of people that care if you don't want to date them.
agreed, supporting a child who claims to be transgendered that you don't really know because you have no ability of getting inside of their head, only sets them up to be in a demographic with a 40% suicide rate that is child abuse. I'm not saying actively discourage it, but kind of keep it within reason.
what not wanting to screw up their child for woke points I think it's great when parents fight against this anti science.
I disagree you can put a pink bow in your hair and call yourself petunia but if you're six foot eight and you have 5:00 shadow that's not a social construct.
we don't really have rigid gender roles here at least not that I've observed. In the 1960s perhaps but not really now.
I think trying to fabricate a new enforced gender stereotype is moving backwards. As I said before we don't really have rigid gender roles anymore. And to say that people can switch them necessarily requires that they're rigid. I grew up in the 90s and a man wearing a skirt probably would have raised some eyebrows at the church formal but not really anywhere else.
Gender is simply how you identify. We used to call people that didn't fit into the norm tomboys and effeminate boys. Now we call them mentally ill I don't understand why.
Right. Some man saying that he's a woman and putting on women's clothes so that's superficial. That's transgenderism now.
drag is a performance you mean to say that's cross-dressing. The only difference between cross-dressing and transgenderism is identity.
well I would agree it's more superficial than that you don't have to put on clothes. It's just saying that you're the opposite sex. And it isn't living in that identity forever. You can bounce back and forth as the moods hits you. It's called being gender fluid.
Something to keep in mind is that transsexual is the word that used to describe what is now called transgender. But it was felt that it was insulative and not accurate. So transgender was coined to to be the label. Transsexual now is slowly being used to apply to those transgender people who actually get the full SRS.
Any SRS types surgeries on underage minors is pretty much a myth. Hormones for transitioning also is a rare thing, but some late teens (16 or 17) are getting it, IIRC. Hormone blockers on the other hand is supposedly not permanent. There is still some debate in the medical community over that, as I understand it. Most of what is happening with children is allowing them to present themselves as their gender instead of their sex. And in some cases, yes they either stop claiming to be transgender and go back to the stereotypical gender presentations or stop the claim, but continue with how they were presenting as their own gender presentation.
Ever heard of Chimerism? AIS? CAD? Being Intersexed? Did you know that not all intersex situations are obvious? Some people have both XX and XY DNA in their bodies.
I'm just going to address this "women's toilets" thing because transphobes always make it seem like it's about protecting ciswomen from transwomen.
As far as you know, right? Hell I could have any of those conditions, but I never have had any issues that necessitated have my DNA check for them. Many people who are intersexed never know they are. It's discovered after death if an autopsy is done. Chimerism is even less detected since a DNA same is usually only taken from one spot.
When my boys were in scouts, we went camping and everyone was able to go, all parents, male and female.
The point is that no matter the sex, anyone can be a sexual predator.
Any person you'd be allowing to join would have to be a man you know/trust, as we don't let strangers around our kids. But the person being someone you know makes them more likely to be a perpetrator of sexual violence towards you/your kids then someone you don't. It's a paradox.
Then we should do away with completely open locker rooms like that and instead introduce locker rooms changing stalls so that anyone who wants privacy can have that privacy and not be forced by, for example, schools, to get naked in front of other people.
Butch women are women, but you can't tell the difference between a butch ciswoman, a transwoman, and a cisman. So how would we enforce a bathroom policy like that?
This was an online poll. Information about participants isn't public. None of the participants had any reason to feel pressured into giving a certain answer.
