Compare that figure to Viagra and other ED spending.

I began transitioning nearly 5 years ago. Went to my doctor (whom I have seen for over two decades) today for my annual physical. For the first time, he mentioned the term "transgender" and asked me if I was on hormones.

I'm confused, maybe things are different in your medical system, but why would your doctor not know what drugs you are on?

He does. I have looked (at least somewhat) like a woman now for over four years, and my doctor has just ignored that fact for the last several years even as he has pushed my long hair back to look into my ears, tapped my fully shaven legs, etc.
I found his comments to be amusing and was surprised when he asked, and so, decided to share that here. Perhaps healthcare for transgender individuals is changing?

Who could've guessed?
Oh, that's right, everyone.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ya know, as a mom, I think all kids do better if they are allowed to be themselves - as long as they aren't into something dangerous like cutting.
My three went through a lot of phases and stages, especially my girls. I let most things play out. My parents were so rigid with what they thought I should be, and what they allowed, that I knew that was unpleasant and not how I wanted my kids to grow up.
Funny - I am still mostly the hippie chick I was back in the day. The hippie chick mom and dad hated and did their best to break.

Am I alone in thinking that transsexualism fundamentally reinforces "carcinogenic/old fashioned" and wrong sexist gender role stereotypes i.e. men are/feel/do like ABC and women are/feel/do like DEF?

Yes you are alone in that because it doesn't

I’m not really sure what you mean.
