i really shouldn't attempt to step into this misinformed mish mash of deviant perspectives on the transgender condition, but y'all are propagating pure bullshit.
some evidence based facts:
- the only thing binary about human sexuality is what kind of gamete is produced by one's gonads. beyond that, there is too much variation, both physically and psychologically, to label everybody male or female. historically, cultures have recognized at least three sexes, male, female and intersex, and transgender people. The consensus among medical authorities today describe agender and bigender people as well.
- All of the main medical organizations recognize that same sex attraction and gender variance are not mental illness. Clinical studies demonstrate incontrovertibly that when gender variant people of any age or demographic are encouraged to express themselves naturally, they test out on a par with or superior to their cisgender counterparts across the board on behavioral health parameters and scholastic aptitude, most notably the suicide, self harm and substance abuse rates fall into typical ranges.
- It has also been found that the horrifying rates of suicide, self harm and substance abuse are linked to rejection by family, getting terrorized just walking down the street and facing insurmountable ob st acles to employment, housing and access to health care. This site has been associated with at least 10 suicides.
- "Autogynephilia" and "ROGD" have both been refuted as legitimate diagnoses . "Transtrender" is a nonsense term. This is nothing new. What is new, is that during the Obama administration, there were a number of court rulings that made it a lot safer for us to be visible.
- "transgender" is an overbroad term, covering a huge range of gender expression. a certain percentage of the population is born better suited , both physically and psychologically for the transgender role in every generation. how they adapt to this varies all the way from occasional cross dressing to full medical transition. there is no rational reason to discriminate against effeminate males and masculine females and any of the things anybody does do their body for any reason. none.
