We all have things we’d wish our taxes didn’t pay for now don’t we? The cost is also pretty low, as the estimates for the defense department show:

Of course that’s true.
But the effectiveness of sex reassignment surgery is unproven. Those suffering from transsexuality have the same suicide and mental illness rates regardless of whether they have surgery.
And I think it is really a questionable practice to give people -even children- powerful hormone treatments. Hormone treatments cause serious side effects for those folks that have to take them for prostate cancer and other serious ailments.

Fact check to the rescue: children are not prescribed hormone treatment. The closest it gets is blockers and that is for extreme cases where the patients life is deemed to be at risk.

It’s all just high risk experimentation, courtesy of the far left APA, among others.

Another fine product from psychiatry, the industry of death. They discovered that prescribing powerful and unpredictable (and sometimes lethal) psychotropic drugs was more profitable.

Wow, that’s some fear spreading. Should we judge all of the medical profession for things done in the past?

So, if you had some sort of mental problem, you’d prefer to have a lobotomy? How about the so-called “ice pick lobotomy” where something like an ice pick was stuck through the eye socket into the brain? Would that one suit you?

Actually, both puberty blockers and cross hormones are becoming more common. Teenagers can get started on cross hormones before 18 with a parent’s permission.

When Children Say They’re Trans
Hormones? Surgery? The choices are fraught—and there are no easy answers.
www.theatlantic.com
Fascinating article from The Atlantic, which is not exactly a conservative publication, highlighting some of the many issues with rushing “trans” children into transitioning. A long and in-depth article but very worth the read to anyone interested in the subject.

Yes, from 16 they can take hormones with a special amount of hoops lessor through. At which time we are beginning to stretch the word “child”.

If you were asking me, the Atlantic article I posted mentions it.

Any adult whom a child is emotionally bonded too (parents, grandparents, aunt/uncle, older sibling, neighbor, etc could have a negative affect in a child if that child felt that he/she would be better loved by that adult if they were a member of the opposite sex.
So again, the culture doesn’t matter, any adult can screw up a child.
HOWEVER, in some cultures it might be easier or harder to screw them up like this.
And yes, society can screw up kids too. We see that clearly with the sexual revolution.

I think we’re moving things around a little but okay. None of the trans* folk I know had people in their life do such things to them. Three were actively kicked out of their families for being trans*.Alex337:

Is that a riddle, or an extended non-sequitor?
Regardless, a false dichotomy.

That’s not the DNA lying. That’s the body screwing up the implementation.po18guy:
Actually the DNA can lie. An intersex person who is XY can have androgen insensitivity syndrome and have all the outward physical traits of a woman. In fact, many of these people don’t even know that their chromosomes are XY until they fail to menstruate during puberty. As someone pointed out in another thread, there have undoubtedly been Intersex people who have looked physically like women and have gotten married to men in the Catholic Church, perhaps without even realizing that their chromosomes were XY.
Someone who is XY is male, someone who is XX is female. Regardless of what their hormones or body parts indicate.
Even people who are XXY or XYY, are male. The Y chromosome makes a human male, regardless of anything else. They might feel like a woman, etc, but they are biologically male if they have a Y chromosome.
NOTE: I do feel for people who are transgender, just like I do for people who are homosexual. Both are a real cross to bare. But in the long run, pretending that this is totally natural and healthy will have devastating affects; just like the idea that fornication is natural & healthy has had devastating affects.
God Bless

Well, I have heard several talk about such things and/or talk about unhealthy relationships with their parents, grandparents, and/or older siblings.phil19034:
