    Because reality is always being discovered.
    Trans have been around almost as long as humanity.
    There is no destruction going on, except perhaps in your mind.

    Transsexuality is a harmful social construct. Children are being led into a lifetime of medical intervention and unhappiness to feed the narcissism of damaged people.

    2. (chemistry) A compound in which two atoms or groups are situated on opposite sides of some plane of symmetry passing through the compound. (Also used without the hyphen as an adjective; see trans.)

    Trans is a fluid word in itself.
    I don't see what you see as pathetic. Confused yes. And given what they must feel, confused is accurate.
    I doubt it is very well understood. But it is real. Not pathetic.

    No. They are not.
    It is NOT a social construct either. They are real.

    At this point, we will have to agree to disagree.

    Making sense like that is one of the many, many things that makes prog/lib/dim heads spin (and sometimes explode!).

    I know. They are giving 13 year old children hormones which will permanently sterilize them. What sort of parent sterilizes their children?

    You just touched on one of my pet peeves- stupid names for girls such as using last names for girls. Example:
    Campbell - as if the parents named her after a can of soup
    Taylor- as in an occupation
    Bailey - just plain stupid name for a girl
    Morgan - as in a bank JP Morgan
    Kinsley - just dumb
    There are more

    Thistp thing with transsexualnknconformingflashdashrashbrash genger **** has gotten way out of control. But I do not see it as a political thing no it shoukd not destroy our society. When I was growing up in the late 1950's and early 1960's people said that Rock n Roll was going to destroy our minds eat our brains wreck society created by Communists to bring down capitalism. Someone forgot go tell Capital records not to print Rock n Roll on it's label they made some serious money

    Holy crap! That list has every gender listed except straight and heterosexual. But then again, that list merely defines personality traits and mental disorders. Actually, I see nothing on that list that resembles anything remotely like a gender.

    Oh, you might mean something like this.

    Dr. Eyler: So there are treatments for trans adults who want to become parents. Would the two of you like to discuss the needs of transgender youth, particularly children who may not complete pubertal development in the natal sex, and possibilities for future fertility for them?

    Dr. Pang: My experience has been only with postpubertal individuals. The youngest transgender person whom I have treated was 22 years old, so I do not have any experience with children who are either early postpubertal or prepubertal. I think that more transgender young people are becoming interested in potentially being parents. Last year, I was contacted by the mother of a transgender teenager, a 15-year-old transgender son. Her son is interested in fertility preservation; they had questions so I explained to them what it would involve. The technologies that I have to offer are useful only for postpubertal youth, such as someone his age, but I am sure that you, Anderson, might have ideas about how to help prepubertal children.

    Dr. Clark: In the trans community, more and more trans youth are being treated at younger ages, such as at Dr. Norman Spack’s clinic at Children’s Hospital in Boston. Some gender variant children are treated with puberty suspending medications, GnRH analogs, similar to the treatment of children who are experiencing precocious puberty. This keeps them from going through the full puberty of the birth sex, spares them from developing secondary sex characteristics that are misaligned with their psychological gender, and gives them some time to mature.

    Dr. Eyler: Cognitively and emotionally.

    Dr. Clark: Yes, to be able to decide, when they get older, whether they want to medically transition. Some gender variant children are not actually transsexual or transgender as such, and will eventually decide to stop treatment and experience the puberty of the birth sex. Others, with the support of their parents and clinical team, find that they need cross-sex hormone treatments to proceed with the puberty that is aligned with their gender.

    So you disagree with me that transgenderism is not a social construct, but a real condition.
    But it seems as though it is a real condition.

    And it doesn't appear to be irreversible.
    But this shows it certainly is real and not some social construct.

    No, and you're free to Google this, or search the thousands of posts here which provide ample support. :) Burden more than met; use your search function or Google. :) No; that's bizarre.

    There is indeed a spectrum. :)

    No, this is what happens when adults are afraid of human sexuality; most likely due to religious brainwashing. Sexuality is innate.

    I never needed anyone to explain my sexuality to me. I remember a moment in a psych class where we talked about latent homosexual tendencies. So for a moment I wondered if there could be some part of me that could be attracted to men. I looked at the guy next to me and then the cute girl behind him.

    That was the end of that. It took about two seconds. No one could have convinced me that I like men. I knew what I liked and no amount of eternal influence was going to change that.

    It is human nature to live in fear of things we don't understand. Don't be afraid of life. No one is coming for your children. The right wing has righties living like scared little animals.

    Does that same rule apply to those who defend someone who claims they just go up and grab women by the *****.

    Yes and you are wrong there IS no science supporting this claim.

    There is only repeated opinion with no empirical or scientific evidence
