Some sex organs ate developed before birth and others are matured as the kids grow to 9 to 10 years old. There are less than .1% people born with abnormal sex chromosomes.

liberals think that sex and gender are different and you can pick your gender. They also now are saying sex and gender are the same and you are a bigot if you believe in chromosomes or that “Caitlyn Jenner was born male”

US "liberals" have gone crazy.

Literally.

I don't think it's liberal or accepting to have a boy cut off his penis because he doesn't think he feels like a 'real' boy on the inside. Bizarre.
It's especially nonsensical for children, who are thinking and feeling all kinds of crazy stuff until the dust settles.

I wanted a tail when I was a kid. Should I have demanded I be treated like a monkey?

Good news! There can! And there can ALSO be people who are transgender or non-binary.

You really think there are people who are somehow really girls born in “boy bodies” and vice versa? Really?

Of course! I grew up with one in a very small town, and I'm in my forties.

Or maybe he was an effeminate gay man?

Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Whatever he was, he was a boy. And whoever he was on the inside should be okay for a boy. It doesn't make him really a girl.

It must be really, really frustrating to constantly be yelling at people that they're being themselves wrong.

First of all, I'm not yelling. Second, yes, I think cutting off body parts and taking hormones is not being yourself, by definition.

So if we add a third gender how are these people counted for title 9 purposes? Since so many kids identify differently, not just the trans ones - over time will this have an impact on the funding for girls’ programs?

Most of them are humanity major, I guess. 99.9% people have either XX or XY chromosomes. The toilets are designed based on how one urinate.

I am 100% certain that both people with male genitalia and people with female genitalia can use a standard toilet to pee.

Truth, the weird kid from my so called life is still weird

On the issue of bathrooms..find the whole thing confusing. A trans man (a woman transitioning to be a man) at work uses women’s bathroom. He looks like a man, albeit a very short one. Has a goatee and a mustache. Why still use women’s bathroom? Makes me very uncomfortable because he looks like your average (very short) man.

Dad, I feel like being a girl this school year. What should we name me?!

Maybe because your male coworkers make the bathroom a bad place for him to be?

Biologically, she is still a woman or female, with XX sex chromosome. Being understanding.

Misgendering someone is not being understanding.

Bathrooms for trans people are incredibly fraught and complicated. My spouse is trans, very recently started transitioning, and he makes a case by case decision. Largely at this time, that means using women's rooms, which triggers some dysphoria, but less than being confronted using a men's room. Sometimes, if he feels like the situation is safer, he'll use a men's room. Generally, we all need to spend a lot less time policing who is or isn't in the bathroom with us; some people are fighting real personal battles over which bathroom to use and we should respect whatever decision they make.

Do you have kids?

I’m sure it’s tough for your spouse, but can you also see that it might be tough for parents of teen girls? Maybe parents of teen and tween girls are not comfortable with the idea of ‘young men who identify themselves as female’ being in the school bathrooms with them?

DP.

First of all, PP's spouse is transitioning FROM being a woman TO being a man. So you really ought to be posting about how it's tough for parents of teen boys, who are not comfortable with the idea of "young women who identify themselves as male" in being in the school bathrooms with them. But you didn't. Why?

Second of all, speak for yourself. My 2 teen girls' main concerns in the bathroom are (a) doing their bathroom business (b) people vaping.
