[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It included transgender. And transgender people existed in the Ancient Near East too. We know this because the Bible has a
prohibition against cross dressing. Why would they have such a prohibition if people weren't doing it?[/quote]

How many took hormones and had genital surgery?  I know there were eunochs.  Did they wish to be that way?  I think I've read that young choir boys also underwent some procedures to increase the length of time they would be sopranos. Was that a good thing?

Well the people that did these things apparently thought it was good, but unfortunately, there is nobody around left to ask.  In all times and places, some people did strange things to their bodies.  If you tell them they can't they often do it anyway.  Sometimes they kill themselves if you don't let them.  If they are that desparate for whatever crazy reason, it's better to let them do it rather than kill themselves. [/quote]

Where else do we say we should give people what they want because the alternative is suicide?  If someone threatens suicide, they need mental health treatment, not hormones and surgery. [/quote]
Did you know that mental health treatment often doesn't work?  Do you even know how difficult some cases are to treat and what kids who are not even transgender do to themselves while parents desperately try one treatment after another?  Take your ablist privilege elsewhere and thank God if you don't.[/quote]

Do we tell anorexics they really are fat and they should continue to starve themselves?  Do we tell someone with a partner threatening suicide they should stay with them? Why is this suicide threat okay for transgender people but not other scenarios?[/quote]

Letting transgender people take over women’s sports and bathrooms is more like forcing everyone in the world to never eat food in public again because it might offend an anorexic person or make them feel uncomfortable or not included.[/quote]

Please don't give them any ideas.  [/quote]
