[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is because of this issue that I cannot call myself a liberal any more.

I am female. When I was in high school, I was not girly, I did not fit in, I crushed on other girls, and I possessed (and still do) many attributes and strengths more commonly associated with males, and I had depression and anxiety. I believe that if this had been a thing at the time, I would very likely have concluded that I was trans.

[b]It is TERRIFYING to me that “affirmation,” surgery and hormones are the go-to treatment now for young people in the throes of figuring out who they are.[/b] I am not happy at all that that transgenderism is being normalized. I am so glad this wasn’t really a thing yet when I was growing up. I am afraid for my young daughter who exhibits many of the non gender conforming traits that I did.

I agree with a PP that the movement is, at its heart, anti-woman.
I don’t care what FCPS says about it. I will not keep my kids out of Sex Ed for this but I will make sure they understand that sex is defined by gametes and not feelings or personality characteristics. I will also ensure that my children understand the mechanism behind all rational discussion and scientific research on this being shut down.[/quote]

You'll probably be really happy to know that other than affirmation, those aren't the go-to treatments for kids and teenagers.  Hormones and surgery are reserved for adult who have transitioned and shown over time that their gender identity is stable.  [/quote]

No. Puberty blockers start being taken at 11, 12, and 13 with hormones being started at 14,15, and 16. Teenagers and their families are having to make difficult decisions that will affect the kids for the rest of their lives as these kids are left sterile. [/quote]
