I think what we're facing is Success-of-the-moment which allows more room for problematic possibilities.

In another time and place, Society (cultures) could not absorb the vagaries of gender identity. Even as Greece and Rome accepted (and sometimes promoted) homosexuality, neither would
say that a man was not a man or a woman a woman. Hermaphrodites were in a class by themselves and no one said otherwise. Rare though they are, they are what they are as well.

Thank you for responding in good faith.

Have you considered reading some research on the subject? Sounds like your knowledge is limited and you're conflating unrelated things in order to coerce other people.

@WilyRickWiles The research isn't promising. Dysphoria of any type should be appreciated for what it is.

The research overwhelmingly shows that children experiencing, not dysphoria but confusion or curiosity, resolve the issue before or at the onset of adulthood with no regrets. Dysphoria is being over diagnosed by factors. It s following the same contagious pattern as did anorexia in the 80's.
Both manifestations of contagion thrive on attention. Genuine sexual dysphoria is exceedingly rare, and it takes a person of years to make any type of reasoned assessment, coupled w/ professional counseling. Even in that context, gender dysphoria is as likely to be ameliorated through therapy, therapy which has come under attack as "normal" has lost so much of its meaning.

It's unfair and abusive to require a pat answer from children regarding a question fundamental to their existence such as their sexuality. "I just know" isn't a basis to begin life altering procedures
on persons innocent of broad experience.

We have no business castrating, neutering or otherwise altering children. They need to unfold. They need to grow. Stultifying that growth is abuse of the worst order.

Puberty is the rush. And it is not your right to force medical treatment on others or otherwise bar them from getting treatment they choose. Moreover, this impacts the care of adults as well.

Just let the wound fester and then cut the whole limb off. They can still survive.....

@WilyRickWiles

The difference is child and adult. Your stance on allowing children to be abused and mutilated, without their full and complete comprehension of the serious ramifications, is the same characteristic found in people who have low trust in society and a need for violence and chaos over peace and love.

Moreover, cutting off your dooflinky, slicing off your boobs, and filling your bloodstream with puberty blockers does NOT change your sex. It is Satanic! A boy is still a boy genetically and a girl is still a girl genetically.

I pray for you

@Sensrhim4hizvewz I wonder what your stance is on sending children, without their full and complete comprehension, to conversion therapy camps to yell at them that they are specific way and beating them or giving them drugs? Or your stance on forcing these confused children to go through 9 months of pregnancy and give birth? Or telling these confused children that they must be a specific religion and that only XYZ is true, based on your own belief, and that any deviation will result in eternal punishment and they must get baptized and and go to a specific building once a week and maybe be forced to wear a specific garment or get a circumcision and tell all of their innermost thoughts to some creepy old man in a robe in secret?

@JacksonNought

No child should be sent to any conversion therapy camps against their will

No child should be forced to go through pregnancy and the offender should be prosecuted and jailed

No child should be forced to be a member of any religious order. The mere fact that a child is brought up within a specific religious affiliation does not constitute an abuse of such child's rights. The family authority will provide the religious influence to children in most cases and in most cases, this is done with the greatest and loving intentions. Government kills MANY more people than religion does. Governments start wars. Governments use religions to start wars. A decent religion knows the distinction between God and Gubbermunt

@Sensrhim4hizvewz so you are pro-choice. Good to hear.

So where do you draw the line between bringing a child up in a religious affiliation vs forcing them to be a member of a religious order? Can a child opt out of being circumcised or baptized? Would you chastise parents for forcing their children to attend church, or forcing their children to attend parochial school?

@JacksonNought

I can better be identified as someone who believes in, and is led by common sense based choice.

Ultimately, it is the woman's choice whether to carry to term or not, HOWEVER, it is not the woman's choice to use abortion as her preferred method of birth control when several other proven methods exist. The only reason abortion clinics operate over the precedence and under the ignorance of other birth control methods is financial gain. Fetus parts are a billion dollar industry!

@JacksonNought

You are seriously not comparing baptism to hysterectomies or vaginal construction using a penis are you??
