Wut?
There's gender identity clinics?
I feel like Rip Van Winkle and woke up in a strange new world.
Seriously though, aren't even post-operative transgender people among the group with the highest suicide rate?
Way to go schools, push more kids to kill themselves in the name of fairness and equality.

There's a big difference between a parent talking to their child about it and letting the school system tell them how it is. This is how it SHOULD be, not leaving it up to the schools.
Schools are indoctrination centers.
How many kids have killed themselves because their parents are ignorant?

While I agree there are children who are genuinely transgendered, I have to ask the question to myself, how many other kids are more or less following that path because of the hype and trend?
Then you have those parents who will do almost anything just for some time in the spotlight even if it's just inside their community, if you don't know what I mean, look up beauty contest moms and tiger moms...
I'm all for people being who they are, that's beautiful, what's not beautiful, lemmings and other herd animals following the leader...
That's down right scary as SH*T

Yep. Too many parents tell their kids a boy is always a boy and a girl is always a girl.

What is the ACTUAL occurrence of a hermaphrodite in human populations?
It's very very rare is it not?

We started "You are who you are" at a very early age.
It doesn't have to be complicated.

Children are very intelligent and individual thinkers. They rarely embrace or follow popular social or consumer trends.
That's why this is such a clear cut subject.

The suicide rate goes down post-op, but it's still higher than it should be. Why? Because of lovely folks like yourself.

Totally off topic but you must get really frustrated when your excellent brand of sarcasm is taken at face value. Those planes are flying so high, the passengers experience weightlessness.
