OT: Boy told to "tolerate" changing with girls and make it "natural"

[athigpe]

Man, I'm usually called a bit of a liberal as for the most part I really couldn't care less about most social things, but damn this stuff is starting to get weird as frick. Boys told they have to accept girls who "identify" as boys changing with them? And before everyone starts the "that would've been awesome when I was in high school" stuff, I'm sure this chick who calls herself a dude is a helluva lot more buzzcut and cargo shorts than she is blonde-haired and cheerleader.

Also, I read a story the other day about a father and daughter going through sex changes at the same time so they could support each other. The article went on to say that the child had identified herself as a member of the other sex since she was 2... Yea, ok.

The adults subjecting kids to this kinda stuff are sick.

There is a "boy" that went to kindergarten with my son who was a girl then. They claim that "he" identified as a boy at that age and suffered from depression as a result until the operation to change. I don't get it. The parents seemed normal at the time from the little bit I knew of them. They now go around advocating for the issue. I keep my mouth shut and just thank God I don't have to make that choice.

Nothing like governing to cater to the extreme minority

I don't understand what is wrong identifying it as a mental illness and getting them treatment.

There is nothing wrong with that, it's the truth. Unfortunately, snowflakes can't handle the truth, they melt when the spotlight of truth is shined upon them. Whenever they are smacked in the face with the truth, they claim racism, or some other ridiculous accusation, to shift the focus away from them and onto you. They don't have a problem, their kid doesn't have a problem, you have a problem, you're a racist or a bigot, or whatever.

It's pathetic.

You'd have thought the last election would've prevented some of this stuff, or at least made it so that the individual with the problem was individually accommodated instead of making everybody else accommodate them. But I guess all the corporate and media world being in favor of it means that anybody who does anything but make everybody go along with these (strongly held) delusions is going to feel their wrath.

I can somewhat sympathize with parents who just think they're doing the right thing to help their kids by grasping onto the available cultural narrative about "transgenderism." Theorists in the academy influenced activists, and then activists convinced the corporate and medical world that there was such a thing as "sexual minorities" that needed to be protected, and that people who identify as "transgendered" were one of those minorities in need of protection.

In that context, parents who don't want to be labeled haters and who don't have any strong ideas to the contrary are going to interpret their kids' conflicted feelings as their kid being "transgendered." They're just going along with the best advice from their child's doctors, and they're being socially responsible as far as they know. I don't even entirely blame the theorists who came up with this stuff, because academics are always coming up with craziness that gets mostly ignored. The real problem is the nexus between activists and the corporate and medical world that unquestionably enforces their narrative.

Really? In all truth the Citadel should have admitted women years before and saved the state of SC from looking like a bunch of morons. Heck, I remember Citadel grads bitching about the school letting in blacks.

I think that's when a lot of this PC BS started.

I am so mad about this for reasons not based in reality, fact or experience. I am also mad at the people who have a strong opinion (either side of the argument) on this not based in reality, fact or experience.

As a country, I think we need to focus on social issues and fight with each other while the republicans and democrats rob us blind with phony economic reasoning and ignorant policies. That will be really productive.

Yea, that's when it started.

Glad we agree

I foresee a lot of slutty girls identifying as "boy" in the near future

The Citadel did allow girls to attend.

Oh, I got the sarcasm. Just forgot that morons like you still existed, but LA means Louisiana, correct?

Sorry Mr. Faulkner. She ruined years of tradition so she could get her 2 minutes of fame.

Disagree completely. First, what's your basis for that and what does this treatment entail? Let's say this was one of your children that felt this way, you're okay with potentially subjecting them to something that could feel completely unnatural to them and make them unhappy? And for what benefit? So they're "normal" in your eyes?

I get the ideas of feeling uncomfortable about subjecting children to what some of you view as weird or whatever, that putting other people who you identify as the opposite gender in a bathroom/locker room/etc doesn't seem right. That this is a small % of the population who is marginalized so why change everything for them. I'm not sure of the best solution, to be honest. When people take it to another level of assuming they're sexual predators and such, that's a different story...if it's strictly the fear that sexual predators would pretend to be transgender to take advantage of these situations, then it's not unfounded (although I think quite a few of them already do whatever they can to fulfill their disgusting desires).

Anyway, like the people who have or had issue with homosexuals, gay marriage and the like, the feeling that it's not within the norm and so it's okay to view them as less of a person...what is the real harm with someone being transgender? Particularly if society actually were to become more accepting of these people? Once again, they're a small segment of the population and does it truly have any other impact on anyone but themselves unless everyone else allows it to affect them? Aside from the mistreatment they face, what's the need for "treatment"?

Even if it is a mental illness, is there something that has to change?

Ha, no actual reply though? I'm curious what you think for real.
