No but people are men or women.
PFL
They perhaps have second thoughts once they come to realize that despite the hormones and hacking off and adding on, they will never REALL be the sex they want to be. And, that surgery was NOT the answer to all of their life problems. And, that others in society do not necessarily play along with their attempt at being what they are not. Even most liberals are secretly laughing behind their backs! Who would want to date/have sex with someone who has done that to themselves? Only other freaks. Sad. Sad. Sad.
Oh?
People who have undergone the medical procedure; Lopadickoffami; have NEVER been charged with RAPE afterward!
It’s a shame the mental health community has decided that these people don’t need treatment.
You think you are supposed to have different genitals so the solution is to mutilate them and pretend you are the sex you want to be. What about people who think they should be trees? Should they go stand in a pot of dirt? Or maybe SEE A SHRINK?
My sense of so-called “transgendered” people is that they have a deep self-hatred, which they direct at one of the most fundamental aspects of self, gender. They so thoroughly displace their self-hate onto their genitals that they imagine that if their genitals were removed, they would magically become a different person, one that they actually like being.
It cannot happen, of course. Their problems are not caused by being born as the “wrong” gender, they are caused by a multitude of factors. And those factors need to be identified and treated, so that those people can learn to accept themselves.
With children, I have the feeling that the “transgender” identification has a simpler cause. Maybe they are jealous of all the things they perceive that people of the opposite gender can do, which they can’t. Or it is just a form of make-believe, like having an imaginary friend. I remember going through a phase where I pretended that I was a chicken, and told stories about my chicken life. It would have been highly inappropriate for my parents to pay a doctor to surgically implant feathers and a beak onto me—just as inappropriate as it is for parents of a “transgender” child to administer hormones and physically mutilate the child to make him or her superficially resemble his or her fantasy gender.
Are you saying we should cancel the dog fur transplant surgery we have planned for our 2 year old? She insists she’s a dog...and she barks a lot.
Yes, I am. ;)
Mean means purposely offensive/malicious. Mean is done with malice.
So truth isn’t “mean”. It may well be painful/unpleasant but that isn’t the same thing as mean.
