So this is an interesting point..... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 09/03/2017 05:56:12 PM

Enabling the transgender person to reconcile their self-identification the way they want doesn't kill them.

Biopolar-ness in and of itself doesn't kill them. Depression doesn't in and of itself kill them. OCD tendencies do not (tyipcally) in and of themselves kill them. And the treatment for these conditions doesn't kill them....

Yet we help them all the same.

Why on this one topic, do we enable them to live out a reality that doesn't exist? And beyond that, they can "reconcile" their self-identification all they want....they still aren't that other gender. Jenner is still a man. Cher's child is still a woman. All the cosmetic surgery and hormonal work...all the re-issued government ID's...all of the "self-identification" they want to pursue....they are still their original gender.

That hasn't changed.

I have to say I'm very confused about what your question is... and I don't think it's just me. Legolas - 07/03/2017 12:04:27 AM 704 Views
Yes, I'm talking about... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 05:03:18 PM 722 Views

Mind over Matter? Jeordam - 07/03/2017 09:06:53 PM 685 Views
Mind over body might've been more apt. I believe I did answer your question actually. Legolas - 07/03/2017 10:41:01 PM 763 Views
Let's be clear.... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 11:17:02 PM 665 Views
By all means. Legolas - 07/03/2017 11:58:41 PM 691 Views
Well that's the crux of the topic isn't it.... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 05:48:50 PM 607 Views
That takes us right back to body vs mind, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2017 07:13:32 PM 659 Views
Well that would be the difference... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 08:54:59 PM 716 Views
So do tell me what in fact the purpose of our discussion is, then? Legolas - 08/03/2017 09:40:09 PM 661 Views
What can I possibly say? Jeordam - 09/03/2017 05:45:54 PM 659 Views

I feel like this has been said several times already, in several ways Sareitha Sedai - 10/03/2017 04:10:27 PM 670 Views

That's true - doesn't change the issue as such but certainly there's intolerance on that side too. *NM* Legolas - 10/03/2017 07:45:43 AM 347 Views
