Transgendered children

[Violet]

Vae, you channeling Milo Y these days?

Our opinions couldn't be further apart in regards to transgenderism... but I can certainly understand the Right's general backlash towards trannies as a result of pushes by transtrenders and feminists. I can't respect that crap either.

Lot of frustration from the fact that they claim to represent me. I'm not particularly close to Blaire White either, given my willingness to say that I've never been a boy in my life (regardless of appearances and treatment by society)... but I still wouldn't want my parents to have just jumped right on board when I first told them.

I think the situation is complex, and a simple answer isn't possible without doing severe injustice to a number of children and adults. There's a solid contingent of me that says 'fuck it, let the damage be on their own heads' level of libertarianism... but there's another part of me that doesn't want to see children suffer. As I say, it's a complex issue. Hence my weighing in on it from the angle I feel is responsibly sane.

I don't see anything wrong with pink hair (other than that it's been really hijacked by the worst of the SJWs of recent years).

God you and me both... I've got to lose the purple until this recent crap is over.

I think children transitioning has to be a case-by-case basis. I get the argument for being cautious about letting them transition, I actually don't think just any child should be allowed to on a whim because they're going through a kind of femme phase. However, if you've got a kid who has been consistently saying from age 3 down to age 11 that they feel like living as the opposite sex then I don't think that's a "phase" and I can take that a bit more seriously.

Shit yes, agreed: there absolutely has to be a stability component to this. How long and to what degree is a real debate that I feel really needs to happen... but regardless it has to be a part of the process in my mind.

Thank you for coming by with your opinion, and pushing this in a more constructive direction I really appreciate it.
