Transgender

[ShanDog]

Please be aware that the tolerance of anti-trans language on BF is at an all-time low. Jokes and insults that are trans-related, as well as anti-trans and bigoted rhetoric will be met with infractions, threadbans etc as required. It's a sensitive (and important) topic, so behave like well-mannered adults when discussing it, PARTICULARLY when disagreeing. This equally applies across the whole site.

I'm a progressive man, with progressive ideas. Just gotta destroy the DNC too though, get some new parties in not run by rich old corrupt warmongers.

Now THAT I can agree with! Their entire system needs a good refurb.

Maybe we can get an economist to explain physics? Would likely be profound and inspirational.

How about BTS explaining fiat money through the medium of interpretive dance.

There's nothing ill-mannered or un-adult like about using humour to make a valid point.

We are being a bit dismissive of something our fellow member holds dear.

Clear off before I let loose the Shandogs of war.

With that in mind, a person cannot be a member of a race when their genetics are not. The same applies in a strict sense to gender.

So are trans women "real women"? Should trans women like Laurel Hubbard be able to compete against biologically assigned women at the Olympics?

If you're born biologically male, can you ever be "a member" of a different gender? In the above post, you seem to be suggesting that genetics are the determining factor.

Some think as young as eight is when you should start. What do you think is the best age?

My eldest is six and I hope he doesn't think he is transgender.

He won’t tell you if he is. Doesn’t sound like you’d be very understanding.

He won’t tell you if he is. Doesn’t sound like you’d be very understanding.

But if he did, what age should he be put on puberty blockers? In your view.

 

[Chief]

But if he did, what age should he be put on puberty blockers? In your view.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Why would you put a six year old on puberty blockers?

You’re the one who’s gonna do it. Let us know how it turns out.
