People are not freaks for something they cannot control. That's like saying people born with physical disabilities are freaks. They didn't ask to be born like that.
You have no compelling evidence that will convince me that people who imagine themselves to be some other gender are normal. I understand biology very well. I understand animals very well (humans
are animals, by-the-way). The plumbing you are born with is the uncontrollable element that cannot be changed. What puzzles me is that some people insist that an entirely controllable intellectual choice is "uncontrollable".
I've said this before, I don't care what a person might choose to represent themselves as, but I request that they refrain from trying to compel me to accept their intellectual dishonesty and that their self-deception as something "natural".
AND: I don't want to have to foot the bill for them to fulfill their little fantasy changeover.
Its not about what you are born with, its about what happens BEFORE you are born. Hormones that the mothers body sends to the fetus - estrogen if its a girl, and testosterone if its to be a boy. If a male fetus gets too much estrogen, and not enough testosterone, what do you think can happen? Its not a matter of just injecting the kid with enough testosterone to 'fix' him. The kid is born with a body that has developed as a male and a brain which has developed as the opposite sex.
There are differences between the female and male brain, as we well know, as studies have been done on this. If a male has a totally female brain, how do you suggest we change that? We cannot alter the brain to change its way of thinking, certainly not with counseling or medication, but we can alter the body. All that does is 'confuse' the brain into believing it and the body are the same sex, thus the person, or patient, is happier.
Makes perfect sense to me, but others are just closed minded.
