[quote=Anonymous][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.

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. 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[b] sex is defined by gametes[/b] 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]

Always, or sometimes? Most of the time? If you are a stickler for scientific accuracy, and it is "usually" so, then you should say "usually."

Is she female? She has a female pelvic bone structure, female voice and hands. grew breasts at puberty, and other than a lack of pubic hair and period, looked just like any other girl, but she has XY chromosomes.

Wouldn’t this person fall under intersex? This is really irrelevant to the discussion of non-intersex individuals whose brains supposedly do not match their bodies.

But this is only a discussion about people who are transgender because the paranoid OP chose to read the original FCPS announcement and imagine it to mean somethingbitvdidn’t.  Intersex people are one one of the reasons for this language change, as is the ambiguity as to whether sex is chromosomal (immutable but also can be assigned wrong) or based on genetalia (can be surgically changed).[/quote]
