[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a tween girl right now and she came out trans I would accept the child, love the child and support the child any which way can and I be happy I have a son.

But, how anyone can say there is no medical/mental condition present when a person's brain does not match the body is beyond me and totally defies any sense of logic. Biology is biology to me and having a mental/medical condition is no judgment about the person. Alas, I will be called transphobic, ignorant, a bully, bad parent, and bigot.

Biological sex is not even just male/female in humans. You know that right?  Have you read about intersex?  If biology is biology to you then you need read more because your basic information is very incomplete.  Gender is a different thing altogether.   You are talking about defying any sense of logic but that is because don't have a foundation of facts - only things you think you know that are wrong.  [/quote]

Intersex conditions are a disorder of sexual development. There are children born with one leg, or some other deviation from the standard 2. That doesn't change that humans are bipedal. Disorders happen.

For what it's worth, advocates for people with intersex conditions have been pretty clear on their desire not to be used as a bludgeon for transgender activism. People with intersex conditions have a lot of stuff they have to deal with and deserve to have their own voices heard.[/quote]

Again, you are looking too narrowly and missing so much by doing so.  Gender is its own thing but you are basing your contempt on biological "facts" that are not facts.

I didn't speak to gender at all.

I responded to your comment, which used intersex conditions for transgender activism. If you want to make life better for intersex people, then listen to them and raise their voices about their situations. Don't co-opt them because you think they provide cover. Intersex conditions are different from transgender conditions. Please respect people with intersex conditions, especially if you want people to respect people with transgender identities. That is an area where there is common ground, and doesn't require you putting on anyone else's struggle in order to make your voice seem louder. Using people with intersex conditions is not a good look for the transgender community. [/quote]
