I'd agree with you Anne, but not with transgenders. Being gay is one thing, but knowing your a different gender trapped in another, is entirely
different.
Really
Really!
I have taken care of transgender patients. Have you?
The fungal and bacterial infections (follow them for the rest of their lives) of their post surgical area's are remarkable!
Naturally, women produce lactic acid that helps kill off these organisms. Men Do NOT.
This is taught in all Schools of Medicine. To disregard this is to be negligent!
I quote from The American Family Physician," Stimulated by maternal estrogen, the vaginal epithelium is rugated and rich in glycogen in the newborn.
During childhood, the epithelium remains thin until puberty, when it again thickens as a result of estrogen stimulation. Estrogen stimulation produces
copious amounts of glycogen. Döderlein's lactobacilli depend on glycogen from sloughed vaginal cells.3 Lactic acid produced by these bacteria lowers
vaginal pH levels to 3.5 to 4.5; this is essential for the body's natural defense against vaginal and urinary tract infections."

You butcher's disgust me!

Phew ! Lucky we have had a salutary symbiotic evolution with this bacteria otherwise the entire population would be scratching at its glands and not
just the 50%.
As for the child... Well unless you experience the situation first hand, you'll never fully understand the confusion and misery the individual is
challenged by. Gender re assignment at an early age has been in progress for years, regardless of the sexual identity of the parents.
These days there's a considerable amount of various professionals involved in the process. At least this kid will have some control over their gender
dysphoria than being and so will be less likely to end up on suicide watch.
(Btw... there's more variation of sex chromosomes out there than just being an xx or an xy) What ever one you are chances are you have no idea what
it is to be any of the others. Pretty lame to condemn and expect others to operate by your judgemental parameters when they come from a different
perspective altogether.
No chopping/slashing/butchering will occur until they are old enough to make that choice. In the meantime hormone depressors are beneficial for the
kid's psychological state. If at a later date the kid comes to terms with being born male then he can chose to come off the meds. In the meantime at
least the emotional environment for all involved is less chaotic.
If its all about choice, then at least this kid has been given exactly that.
