Here is the link to the documentary that I watched.
Georgie Stone - an interesting film. http://refinery29.com/en-au/2022/09/11126593/dreamlife-of-georgie-stone-netflix Posted by Foxy, Monday, 30 January 2023 12:23:11 PM

This whole subject is an exercise in unreality.
The DNA makes the decision, nothing else. The whole matter is one of either fashion or a psychiatric disorder. The teachers who have been pushing this in schools should be dismissed immediately and never reemployed in occupations with children. The harm that has been done to children justifies charges and as for doctors who administer drugs or even worse surgery should never be allowed to practise medicine again. Where will this slippery slope end ? Foxy, have you been to Davos lately ? Posted by Bazz, Monday, 30 January 2023 12:47:43 PM

Hi Bazz,
Our realities appear to differ. There usually in life are exceptions. You point out that sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. However your gender identity is internal. It's what you identify as. And even in sex chromosomes there are exceptions as Danish researchers show: http://novonordiskfonden.dk/en/news/more-women-then-expected-are-genetically-men/ You asked if I've been to Davos recently? Only virtually. Posted by Foxy, Monday, 30 January 2023 1:15:05 PM

Onya, Bazz!

3. This group makes up the bulk of transgenders. They have no discernible traits of the gender they claim to be and have come to the view that they are other than their biological sex in their teens. A very high portion of this group suffer depression. Are they depressed because they feel different to what their body and society tells them they are or do they want to change gender because they are depressed? Chicken-egg. The trans community assures these people that their depression will be resolved once they transition. But the data for that claim is scant and there is growing evidence that transitioning doesn't resolve depression for many transitioners. Rather it increases it. There is good evidence that these people are influenced by group-think and current trendiness. A portion of these transitioners regret the decision and seek to go back to their original sex. The tragedy for these folk is that a number will have their body irreversibly physically altered through hormones or surgery, only to regret the decision later. Society should make such decisions difficult to achieve and should ensure that it never is allowed to be done to teens.
There is a further group that we can ignore - people who transition for advantage

All of this is about the transgender person. The problem becomes that many such people demand changes to society to suit their proclivities, demanding that all should , by force of law, accept the new sex selection of the transgender, be it in sport or bathrooms. That's where the line must be drawn.
