The education department ought to be teaching teenagers good maintenance of their bodies, to be contented with their body they have not be confused about their gender. Most teenagers do have identity issues.

I can remember at 16 dreaming I was giving birth. But that never gave me the idea I was actually in a female body. Homosexual males are males not women in a male body, and it should not be suggested they need sexual readjustment to become women.

Almost half the teenager girls if they were happy with their body would say- NO! Having seen the emotional and eating disorder effects of teenage girls being bullied about their bodies; e.g. for not developing breasts; these girls do not need to be suggested they have the wrong body.

Josephus, perhaps you should have actually read the page at the link you provided. Others have pointed out already it's not the education department. You appear to be in agreement with the author of the article "Homosexual males are males not women in a male body, and it should not be suggested they need sexual readjustment to become women."

For the part that seems most relevant to your concerns

"Sexual Identity is not the same as identifying as a different gender or feeling like you're in the 'wrong body'.

'Working it out' for some people may be about determining which gender they are. Sometimes people are born feeling they are in the 'wrong body' and may experience themselves to be the opposite sex to their anatomy. Someone born with a female body may feel 'male' or with a male body may feel 'female'. Sometimes people decide to make physical changes to their body through surgery and hormone treatments so that their body aligns with who they are. This is called 'transitioning'. Being transgender/transsexual is not the same as being gay or lesbian. Transgender people can also identify as being heterosexual, gay, lesbian or bisexual. Being transgender is also different to being intersex."

For those that do not believe the site is Govt funded and in part of an anti-bully programme for schools, see.

As WmTrevor has already pointed out, Kids Helpline is a service of the not-for-profit organisation BoysTown. You can see a breakdown of their funding here:

http://www.boystown.com.au/about/funded.php

Most of their funds come from their 'Art Unions' with only 12% coming from the Government. BoysTown are a national organisation, and not beholden to the Education Department of any State or Territory.

Bazz, are you on something? The idea that sex for fun and not babies is abnormal is frigging hilarious. Good luck selling that one, mate. I don't know a man on this Earth that would refuse a blowjob just because you think they're abnormal.

If someone thought they were a dog would you graft a tail on them and tell them to bark ?

A silly comment ? Of course it is ! Just as silly as telling someone
to believe they are the other sex and then send them to a surgeon.

No, any responsible sane person would have their DNA checked, because
there are people with deformations, but we are talking of "normal"
people, then send them to a psychiatrist.

Bazz who is telling anyone they are the wrong sex?
Isn't it the people who feel they are the wrong sex that are dealing with these issues?

It isn't an easy thing to do you know, to tell someone else you feel you were born in the wrong body. I would imagine you would have to be pretty sure you felt this way before you would consider opening yourself up to ridicule and possible rejection by people like yourself.
What difference does it make to you or your life anyway, unless it is someone you know well?
