Living In The Past

[BlueTiki]

It's munchausen syndrome by proxy  . . . I'm not saying that some kids aren't truly transgender, but let them be kids and make a decision as an adult, not exploit them on social media just so you can get your rocks off.

I like your Munchausen take.  I didn't even consider that.  Makes sense.  Harm by exploitation.  Good catch!

When I used the terms "nutter" and "psycho" (after listening to some of the kids and parents), they NEVER consider this new identity as anything other than truth . . . "from the mouth of babes".

Where is the abundance of of juvenile psychological and psychiatric research?  What quantitative or qualitative tools are being used?  What psycho-social stimuli might be contributing to the decision for a child to want to change gender?  

It's funny, if one were to have stated the "lab leak" theory, regarding Covid, without any evidence provided one of the aforementioned tools, you'd be labeled as a conspiracy theory nut-job.

When it comes to gender, all it takes is a "feeling"  . . . and those who support it, are heralded compassionate sages . . . and not as disciples and sycophants of unproven theories.

I know two people who transitioned.  One a male to female and the other . . . female to male.  Both did it well into their late twenties.

For the male to female . . . 2 years of intense psychiatric work, through Stanford Medical Center, before being approved for "gender reassignment surgery".

Female to male . . . 18 months (not sure where in Colorado . . . I'm thinking Trinidad).

Both were happy . . . both sometimes had regrets . . . but they accepted who they are now.  And so did I.  They kept their same sexual preference, after transitioning.

So I guess that means they are now gay, too. 

Never liked the new names they chose for themselves.  "Claire" and "Pheron".

But this was over twenty years ago and I haven't seen either, in over ten years.
