Should kids have a chance to grow up and decide what gender they are, or should parents change their sex early on?

semi-Fact # 1.

You cannot choose your sex, it is decided naturally at conception.

 

Opinion # 1.

If anyone believes they are trapped in the wrong body they have a serious psychological problem and need to seek help immediately.

 

Fallacy #1.

Pretending to be of the opposite sex or mutilating your body will NEVER enable you to change what is biologically set.

 

Fallacy #2.

The fact that we are actually struggling with understanding these basic biological facts is indicative of serious brainwashing.

 

Ummm #1.

Some individuals will believe that I am the one who is brainwashed and reject every single fact that I said above because it is unpleasant to them.

 

 

 

Nothing you've written is actually factual.

It is a fact that genetically you are either XY or XX or XXY or XXX at conception. But that does not guarantee you wil be born with a penis or a vag, and it certainly does not predetermine your gender identity which has nothing to do with body parts and is all about your own self image, which of course does not exist at the point of conception because you have no brain at that moment capable of formulating thoughts of self image.

Are you a physchologist or psychiatrist with a speciality in this area? If not you are not competent to diagnose the psychological state of anyone. Medical sience does not recognise trans-gender as being a mental illness, so on what basis do you make a claim of fact?

We change what is biologically "set" all the time, at the extreme end we have actual genetic modification, and at the milder end we have gene therapy. Then we have stem cell treatments and other interventions that alter the way someone has been biologically programmed. There is no reason whatsoever that in not too much time it will be possible to turn a male into a fully fertile female able to conceive and carry in the traditonal manner and a female into a fully fertile male able to get a woman pregnane in the traditional manner.

Naturally given you haven't stated any actual facts your suggestion of mass brainwashing must ipso facto be false.

Your final statement of course becomes nonsensical in the face of the complete lack of any facts in your preceding statements.

What makes yours factual? You think what some group of scientists put down is always true?

Bradley Manning after going to prison decides a sex change. what does this got to do with chromozones or self image?

Some bookworks are usesless and misleading which would be realized with time by then the harm has been caused.
