It's being promoted as a "choice" to kids in schools these days.
I know personally some transgender people, both left it until well into their 20s before they decided surgery was the right choice. None of this BS about putting kids on puberty blockers, etc.
Growing minds can't make an informed decision easily and many later regret it later in life.
Abnormal hormone levels is not always a factor for everyone who is transgender and same goes for many cisgender people who have way out hormones and grow boobs or hair where they shouldn't, etc.
The people i know after transitioning still had to learn how to adjust to every day things that their new gender had to experience, for example urinals in a men's toilet was something of a shock to see.
Also one of them was told by family that the way she(now he) was interacting with their young children was inappropriate for a man.
These are things that should come naturally if they are born as a different gender than their body.
It's not something you should have to learn how to do if you truly are that gender.
And that is exactly the case with my son. He went through female puberty, it was very distressing for him....no puberty blockers for him, as at that age he hadn't figured it out. When he looked in the mirror, what he saw was wrong for what his brain was telling him. He just didn't understand the why.
He has acted like a male his entire life. Hasn't had to learn a thing!!
He even sat like a male when he was a 10 year old girl!! Much to the disgust of some in the extended family, lol.
"Perhaps I am a bigot. But I'm just getting tired of the direction things are going."
And how exactly does it affect YOU personally C T Russell ????
It is not being promoted as a "choice" in schools. Have you sat in on any classes in schools??? Or are you just going by what is reported in the media from certain sectors of society that have an agenda??
By the way, my son went to an all girls Presbyterian school from Year 7 to Year 13.
Not exactly inundated with encouragement to be different.
