And another thing there are at least two countries I know of that have rampant transgenders. Thailand and the Philippines now tell me that each one of those transgenders fall in to your little morbid fantasy.

I will save you the trouble they definitely don't.

Many Many Many other transgenders function just fine in society. Especially societies that grow and accept them.

Sorry you had to be a moron of a conservative that can't adapt and progress with society. That has to have it one way. His way because he can't possibly fathom that he may one day fall for someone who looks like this because you believe you can tell the difference in gender.

I just don't see how it's the role of the state to get involved. There's lot of things that are legal that parents can do that potentially harm their kids, and in this case, the lack of those services is proven to harm kids. I can legally feed my kid a quarter pounder with cheese every single meal if I wanted to and there isn't dogshit the law can do about it. We make one legal and the other illegal, why?

I feel similarly about abortion. I don't care about the ethics, they're too fuckin' messy anyways, so why make the choice even tougher?

Asian “ladyboys” have a reputation for extreme passability, hence the term “traps” I believe originated with them. Passable to make most men believe they were born the other gender

I would like to see some studies on how both perceived and objective passability factors into a tran’s person quality of life. I think there may be a correlation there, but it’s just a guess

It's implied the state was funding the child trans thing previously



Fun derail, let's move ahead.

To me, that suggests that further research is required. This reminds me of all that hoo-hah about fetal stem cells all those years ago. For every research org that posts something along the lines of 'we are opposed to this', there's a research org that posts something along the lines of 'we support this'

For all we know the fact that it is more common than it used to be in western societies is making a larger point that we aren't seeing because it feels icky to a bunch of reactionaries
