What? Seriously, what?
watch your kids in 8-9 years or whenever you do getting legally raped by a fat transgendered pedophile filth because of your acceptance planted by your government,
Why do you think rape will ever be accepted? What does pdeophilia have to do with being trans? You are still rambling incoherently.
by the way why did you wake up? shouldn't you be sleeping a gooood spraying sleep? I guess those funny clouds in the sky aren't that funny anymore right?
Seriously I have no idea what you are saying, like at all. Please get your thoughts together and form an actual coherent comment.

I wouldn't ordinarily go stright to a ban for someone as new as you, but your sole purpose here seems to be trolling transgender people and people who support them. You can dispute the question of whether supporting the transgendered is positive or negative in a civil manner. That does not seem to be your intent. You just seem to want to say as many nasty things as you can.

*** 1 day ban for trolling. ***

And for posting past the ban, both Conservative Hellenic State and Traditionalist Conservative Hellas are *** DEAT. ***

I think it does nonbinary people more justice to refer to their identity as a gender identity instead of a new gender. The two binary sexes, male and female, do not stop nonbinary people from existing, it actually is the reason why it's possible. I know the word gender has become used the same as identity, but I think saying identity makes more sense, because it is based on the existence of the two biological sexes.

Cisgender is a gender identity, meaning their identity matches with their birth sex. MtF and FtM transgender is when the gender identity is the opposite of what you were born with. Agender is when your identity is neither. Any sort of genderfluid is when the identity switches between __________ states. I am bigender, meaning my identity is both male and female, though I'm technically genderfluid with how mine works. You can apply this to any gender identity that is an actual gender identity. Nonbinary identities are basically just a way for people describe gender dysphoria that doesn't fit into strictly male or strictly female, dysphoria being what causes people to not mentally be what they were born as.

I think we should start explaining it to people this way, I think it would makes more sense to people who've never heard of it.

What is the common thought across the Transgender or LGBTQUA$BI community about swapping genders or making the change at a young age? For instance there is a seven year old girl in Texas who was a boy and became a girl at around age 6.

Personally, I think such a move is quite drastic and can lead to huge mistakes. If I got my way when I was three, I would be a border collie right now. Or a girl. Young people aren't mature enough to decide what course of action they want to take in their life. Such a well thought out move is only possible given the proper education and growing up. A kid at age 7 doesn't even have a proper grasp of morals, religion, politics and language, let alone gender or expression. Encouraging your kid to chop their balls off at age 6 is as bad (if not worse) then indoctrinating your kid into whatever religion and politic stand point you go by. Such a move could lead to huge regrets later in life when you realize you have a hard on for girls and your no longer into barbie dolls and long hair.

But I digress.

I'm curios on thoughts from actual Trans people on this subject, and that's my bad if someone has already asked this question because it probably already has but I am too lazy to read back and search for it.

Now, I'm only questioning, not verified trans, and make no claims to be an expert on the matter, but, here are a few little notes that might clarify this for you:
1) In a general sense, the general consensus among the LGBTQ community is usually somewhere along the lines of not doing anything irreversible, like your example of castration, until sometime near where most kids start puberty, the puberty of their physical sex usually only being suppressed, so it may continue normally in the event that there's a false flag. So that's the physical side of things. On an emotional and presentational level, however, the child in question is usually accepted within the range of what the parents or guardians feel is safe for their child, which mostly depends on whether the environment they're in has potential for major bullying/ostracisation over the child in question's transition from their assigned gender to the one they actually feel to be.

2) That may be you, though this sort of thing isn't one and the same. Perhaps you as a three year old thought it might be fun to be a border collie, but I don't think you felt repulsed by the idea of being your assigned sex and gender based on your comment, so I understand your confusion.

3) Again, this actually is taken into account. Permenant physical changes are rarely, if ever, on the table for preteens, and teens are rarely given surgical options. The doctors who work with transgendered individuals are medical professionals, after all. They are by no means stupid.

4) This is what one might refer to as a common misconception. In the frankly uncommon cases where this happens, the individuals in question either had parents who overreacted to a child's rambling, notably different from a persistent insistence on something, or to people who took a hypothetical scenario too far. Again, I must stress that these situations are rare, as there is a fairly, sometimes almost excessively, complex system in place in most places that offer medical services for transgendered individuals that, if only for the fact of the pure beaurocratic nightmare it is, makes it so that transgender people are the only ones who will tolerate it to get what they need. I say need because, unlike in the scenario that you present, being transgender usually implies that the person in question no longer has desire to transition, but rather needs to transition to their preferred gender to continue to be able to live a healthy and happy life.

Now, the way I've described it, which I'm sure is a bit excessively complex, may make it sound as if being transgender is a mental disorder. Now this question is rather tricky. It is certainly not a mental disorder, but it doesn't quite fit right with physical disorders either, leaving it in a limbo. The best analogy is trying to fit the cylindrical piece of a child's play set into a square hole, the hole being the body and the piece being the brain. Sure it fits in the hole, but it doesn't quite look or feel right. It's simply that the two pieces don't match well. Transferring(badum tiss) this into real life, it's a matter of a transgender person's mind not fitting right in their body as it is. So, when something doesn't fit right, we fix it. In the case of transgender people, transitioning is more or less what one might refer to as 'the cure'. I use quotations because referring to being transgender as an illness, as implied by cure, is a touchy subject.

Hope I could help shed a bit of convoluted light on the subject. :)

On a miscellaneous positive note, two hundred record labels and artists have agreed to donate 100% of their proceeds from tomorrows Bandcamp sales to the Transgender Law Centre. Bandcamp themselves will be donating 100% of their share of the proceeds from any sale, regardless of the artist, to the TLC.

Personally, I think such a move is quite drastic and can lead to huge mistakes. If I got my way when I was three, I would be a border collie right now. Or a girl. Young people aren't mature enough to decide what course of action they want to take in their life. Such a well thought out move is only possible given the proper education and growing up. A kid at age 7 doesn't even have a proper grasp of morals, religion, politics and language, let alone gender or expression. Encouraging your kid to chop their balls off at age 6 is as bad (if not worse) then indoctrinating your kid into whatever religion and politic stand point you go by. Such a move could lead to huge regrets later in life when you realize you have a hard on for girls and your no longer into barbie dolls and long hair.

But I digress.

I'm curios on thoughts from actual Trans people on this subject, and that's my bad if someone has already asked this question because it probably already has but I am too lazy to read back and search for it.

FAKE NEWS article about this kid and trannie bathrooms.

Most professionals won't even prescribe hormones until the patient is an adult, much less surgery.


Yup. At such a young age, at most, blockers.
