Transgendered children

[Violet]

Okay, disregard the wikipedia part of what I posted... despite there being several academic sources cited in it... if you want, but that still leaves out the bolded part. It sounds to me like you made an assumption about this situation without reading the whole article. The kid was diagnosed by psychiatrists, just like you agreed they should be. Certainly if this was a case of doing it for attention as you claim, a medical professional(s) would have seen it for what it is?

I don't consider medical professionals as well as you seem to... there being multiple involved is the necessary part to combating this very severe distrust of mine. Multiple is necessary. If that was the case: I can only hope that they were right, and that the child is happy. I've already accepted that I may have acted in blind rage towards the wrong I perceived, the last time I'd read articles relating for this were back when the story first broke, and the information I've had rattling around in my brain regarding it has been influenced strongly by a recent interest that an internet community took in it and what entered my mind while lurking there. It took that rage to get me to come back and say anything to begin with (post at all)

My hatred of Money is very very deepseated. The reality of studies of transpeeps is that there is a LOT more work to be done. I'm very critically aware of this, and it's of great concern to me. I'll give Money and the generation that immediately followed him that at least they tried... but I cannot forgive their ignorance for the suffering it has caused. He was instrumental to getting treatment off the ground... but he is absolutely dated, absolutely failed to properly follow up in the Reimer case, and because of his negligence thousands of operations have been wrongly performed on people as a response. I don't know who I hate more in the whole world, actually... however justified that might be.

There is a very real void of good data about transsexuals. It really needs to be remedied, without any political side seeking their views reinforced.

Not your choice, though, is it...when someone else is doing all the associating...and failing the pink hair they will find whatever other convenient rationalization they can grasp for to associate you with the same, regardless.  

You seem to think we should respect these peoples "opinions".  I'm not crippled by any such delusion, lol.  

Can't be disrespected for having purple hair if I don't have purple hair, Rhythm. Nobody has to do anything based on what I or anyone else thinks, it's my decision based on what I value in my life... and I think I pass better as a blonde to boot
