Western institutions and media have been feeding children this nonsense on gender for decades now. It's part of the attack on the traditional structure but I won't harp on about that.

I think you made plenty of good points.

Personally I'd only allow a 21 year old to make these decisions and only after years of treatment that promoted traditional rather than transitional gender.

But that isn't going to happen and in my view, many lives will be damaged and destroyed by these anti normative idealogs.

Can I ask why? I never saw any connection with this. Just asking.
I mean, I'm with you on Boycott Starbucks, even though when they started in Sesttle they were fine. But I just never heard any trans thing.

I object to their woke virtue signalling s***e on this subject

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I know someone who's recently come out as transgender. Changed there name to a male name and the he/him pronoun.

I'm pretty certain he had a hormone imbalance and has been thinking about this for a long time and the Starbucks advert is a pretty fair reflection of what he went through. His previous name certainly didn't suit her. That said, I think he doesn't really fit within either gender stereotype and is probably has more in common with females than males than he realises. I think I've finally understood why they call it a gender spectrum. Addressing issues with gender stereotypes is more important imo.

Whilst I'm pleased for them, I'm also sceptical, previously there were a lot of mental health issues, unstable home, bullying at school (by girls), ADHD, drug addiction, abusive ex boyfriends and homelessness. There was a suicide attempt a couple of years ago, partially triggered by a secrete relationship with a rich older married guy posing as a white saviour type. From what I know, that was back on in secrete and has only recently been ended again.

In a way, the sadness seems to come as it feels a bit like a friend committing suicide, in that they have just ended everything that was great about them.

I wish him all the best for now, but hope they see how it goes for a while before any meds or operations that can't be reversed are used. Knowing him, its likely he will jump straight into it to try and distract him from other issues that they are troubled by. I just don't want them to make the wrong discission. Most importantly, I really hope he gets the counselling he needs for a lot of issues to ensure it's the right path. I don't think that is currently happening due to lack of access to services.

It seems like people can self diagnose before bringing up with medical professionals as the answer to all their problems. Then the medical professionals in institutions like Tavistock have a politically motivated agenda and accelerate the transition processes without exploring all issues and avenues.

Its a very complicated issue involving nature and nurture, these Woke activist jump in claiming to have all the answers, I doubt they understand the issue but I'm sure they wont admit their are gaps in their knowledge.

I also think the likelihood of being transgender or transsexual is very very low. There are lots of people jumping on the band wagon who are just attention seekers. I know of another girl who says she is gender fluid, she's not, she's just a t*** who thinks everything has to be alternative. They make things worse for everyone.

The biggest problem is that you can't speak up and offer an opinion without all the a bunch of woke activist jumping down your through even though they are incapable of an independent thought. I swear a lot of them just get off on being intolerant of and view that doesn't match their own narrow minded opinions.

But please leave children out of this issue until they grow up.

Have a read of this, and try not to be appalled:

I only hope our legal structures are strong enough to withstand this barrage of idendity politics cancer, because it's inevitible we'll import more carcinogens into this country over the coming few years.

Medicine is often linked to what is fashionable you might think this is an odd statement. However think about it, back in the sixties and seventies I was the only kid in my class who didn't have his tonsils out, how many kids do today?.

At one time being gay was considered a mental heath issue and so on.

A year ago I predicted a similar issue with the Tavistock Centre and that young children were being pushed into transitioning because it was the fashion. I predicted that sooner or later this would become a scandal and so it has.

The Tavistock centre is now under special measure and Sajid Javid has just announced an enquiry into the way the NHS treats children who want to transition. I just hope that not too many lives have been ruined by ideologues.
