"Boy body with girl brain" is an oversimplification, but not outright incorrect. Teaching young kids that it is okay to be whatever they are isn't a negative. But teaching kids that what they are is something they aren't IS a negative. The study doesn't affirm that a mtf kid is a "girl brain in a boy body", but all the reporting on that study implied that was the case. All the study confirms is that a mtf brain is aberrant. I'm not suggesting you teach kids they're a freak or anything, but you don't tell a kid in a wheelchair they're the same as every other kid and then not build any ramps. You tell them that it's okay to be different, because they already know they're different, and then find ways to help them fit into society. Oh yeah, and we could make the same arguments for left-handed people as well. The thing is, all these things can be taught and adapted to, and they don't have to be a problem. But it does require that people stop taking the existence of trans as this crazy thing to be stamped out, ostracized and litigated into obscurity. Stop trying to rationalize your dislike of the subject. It is clear that you aren't interested in helping children, you just want to make them intolerant of differences as well. Oh fuck off. I actually bothered to read the study and educate myself on the subject, rather than just accept "my side's" arguments as doctrine. Don't pull that helping children bullshit. You know what helps? A study (small sample size) was done that showed that schizophrenia medication completely removed trans' individuals desire to be the opposite sex within a few days. Why aren't we funding a larger study to see if the results can be generalized? With a 40% suicide rate, that may be by far the best way to save lives. It's not dislike of the subject. I have no problem admitting 0.3% of the population is trans, and that's its a real condition. What I DO dislike is being told it's normal, we should celebrate it, and rather than continue to research treatment methods we should just assume the suicide rate is due entirely to social stigma (even though it doesn't go down in passing individuals) and will "go away" if we all believe hard enough. I'm sick of being told the left is the party of science while at the same time being told by the same people that we should make sweeping changes as a society when the science isn't there. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
