Obviously, anyone can dress up any way they like. But it may not change one's DNA :( However, New Age scientists may have found a way to annul any effects of DNA - they are working on complete DNA fluidity. Lysenko at his best !

There's science and then there's pseudo-science
that darkly illustrates the disastrous intrusion of
politics and ideology into the affairs of science.

The following link is worth a read:

This one is in the UK but you can bet the same will soon happen here all at taxpayer expense, shear lunacy.

MAKING A CHANGE
Parents pride as son, 12, decides to transition to become a girl…and they’ve vowed to give her sex change drugs

Caren and David Middleton say they couldn't be prouder, regardless of whether their youngest is a boy or girl.

A MUM says she has never been so proud after her son decided to transition to be a girl - and wants her to start puberty blocking drugs as soon as possible.

Mum-of-two Caren Middleton, 44, says her child Kian has always wanted to be a girl, and that their family "will always love and support her whatever gender she chooses to be."

Kian was born a boy, but this term, he asked friends and family to refer to him by the name Zoey, and has returned to school from the summer holidays wearing a skirt and tights.

Zoey says the change means she is "much happier and more confident now," and her parents are vowing to let her start on puberty blocking drugs as soon as possible.

Currently, the Gender Identity Development Clinic at the Tavistock Hospital is the only service for transgender children in England.

Parents Caren and David hope that Zoey will soon be assessed at the London hospital, some 150 miles from the family's home in Chesterfield, and can begin the monthly hormone injections to block the start of puberty.

Foxy,

The national geographic article to which you link in your last post is scientifically informative and while giving valuable information on those born intersex from either chromosomal mix-ups or congenital mishaps, finds no scientific information about those who feel that they are in the "wrong" body.

Given that straight people make up roughly 97% of the population, the 1.7% that the gender advocacy group chose is a little high. Reading further on the article you linked the more reasonable consensus is that the % transgender is closer to 0.5%, therefore, given that 99.5% of the population (including gays and lesbians) clearly identifies with the sex that they are born with, the concept of gender fluidity is tenuous at best.

Which is why the safe schools initiative that tried to reprogram children's understanding of gender and sex to accommodate a minuscule minority was essentially horsecrap.

Follow the money, if it is only .5% of the population who stands to make money out of it becoming accepted.

Possible Lawyers, advocates, charities, councilors, politicians trying to raise there profile or breakdown social cohesion within a country.

Who with half a brain would try to appease .5% of anything?

Dear Shadow Minister,

I read your post and I have to admit
that your use of the word "horsecrap"
pretty much sums it up.
