Transgendering A Toddler Is Child Abuse
Posted by Zenphamy 9 years, 9 months ago to Philosophy
I love the way this guy writes as well his willingness to address any 'political correctness' issue in plane language without fear of reprisal.
In this case: “The Day” referenced, is the day they decided to raise their son as their daughter. Just like that, a 3 year old says “I’m sad because I’m a boy” and his parents sentence him to a life as a transgendered person. Rather than tell Jack that being a boy was a good thing, rather than let him know society could not exist without men, rather than explain gender to Jack, deal with Jack’s sadness, or teach Jack how to be a man, these parents did what entirely too many parents do today, and placated him.
They bought him elastic hair bands and gave him ponytails. They, with the help of his pre-school teacher, began discussing what his female name would be. They, being the obviously less than creative people they are, decided to call Jack, Jackie. They bought Jack his own dresses, girl toys, and all the other things parents do when raising a girl."The hateful monsters of this world are the ones who tell sick people not to get better. The bigots are the ones who, in their contempt for humanity itself, encourage and promote a lethal illness. The cruelest and most evil people in this world are the ones who parade mental illness around as a source of pride for political purposes."
And:
"Men should be proud to be men, and women should be proud to be women. Both genders serve incredibly important and necessary purposes in society. Those purposes are different, they are unequal, and they are not always pleasant, but they have led us to become the undisputed ruling species of this planet. Those who would seek to undo this are the same ones who tell us that we should have fewer children because they blame “humanity” for the destruction of “nature” as if human beings were unnatural.
The promotion of transgenderism as some kind of civil rights cause that ought to be championed and paid for by government, is nothing short of a scheme to undo that which makes mankind the dominant species of the Earth. Gender is important, it is involuntary, and it is a positive and healthy feature of the human experience and our survival. The abolition of human gender is the abolition of the human race, I will stand in defiance against it until I am eaten by maggots, as should everyone who has even the slightest respect for humanity."

And the author nor I, are arguing about what toys children play with or how long their hair is, nor is the discussion about tomboys or sissyboys. You obviously didn't read the entire article including the referenced study of the mental and mortality success/failure of trans gender sex reassignment surgery.
No-one is apparently 100% certain of the derivation of body dysmorphic disorder, but it is a significant mental disorder resulting in anorexia, limb amputation, and sex reassignment surgery, not to be confused with hermaphrodite conditions and some of the barbaric treatments of sex assignment (not reassignment) surgery for those humans.
I do believe that gender cues are more subtle than some here seem to realize, and I accept that if a child is persistently happier in a different role, then that would be integral to their personhood. However, a chance comment by a child is not the basis for drastic action.
I do point out that a boy dressing up like a girl is more strongly disapproved of than a girl being boyish. That's cute. It reflects the male domination in our society, that men are a standard for women to live up to. We have not come close to sociological equality. Equality is an issue when a woman wants to be a firefighter or a jet pilot. Equality is not a problem when a man wants to be a chef or a tailor. Men hold a status that can be challenged. Women do not.
My wife once said that sometimes in meetings, she views people as brains on spinal columns, like seahorses. It may come to that, but we have a long way to go…
As for the decision being made by a child -- I would not go along with doing the surgery until the subject is an adult and makes his/her own choice. But just dressing and living as the new identity is harmless, and it's stupid to call it child abuse.
sex; it might have something to do with hormones,
or body chemistry. I don't know. But that decision
should not be made by a child. A sex change oper-
ation should not be done until the person is an a-
dult, and decides. And such a person should
not be allowed to go into the bathroom of the
other sex, (other than as a janitor or plumber,
etc.) until such operation has been performed.
Especially when my "Male Stuff gets stuffed in Girl Stuff."
Linguistically, you are correct. It is possible that his cross-gendering is a linguistic and social convention only - I have not inquired.

Sometimes I'll write "Our Animal Farm more than equal elite betters" for better clarity.
Of course the George Orwell Animal Farm more than equal animals were the pigs.
He is a very nice person, and I cross paths with him every month or so. I admire the way, with one superficial life decision, 'he' has totally eradicated all of the social expectations surrounding him: No one tried to make him buy a dress to go to the prom, go on dates. His relatives do not pester him to get married and have 2.7 children.
It is rather elegant, actually. I am not sure if he is really cross-gender or if he has simply found a neat and somewhat amusing way of escaping from the pigeonholing of his life by society in general.
Bravo.

By the way, congratulations for your freedom.
Just because I do not care what you do to yourself, does not mean in any way I agree with your doing it.
I just refuse to pay for it or participate in it in any way.

If you want to have your penis cut off and tucked inside to become some semblance of a women, go ahead. If you want to take hormones so your clitoris becomes a small penis and you want to call yourself man, who cares.
DO NOT EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR IT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. It is YOUR choice, and you do not need to announce it to me as though I even care.
Ohh I am transgender, or I am Gay or I am straight, SO FREEKING WHAT!!!. Do your damn job, keep the place you stick your genitals to yourself and do something productive, i.e. add some value.
I should not have to argue on this list that it is OK to sidestep societies dictates and create your own definitions.
