Transgender

Transgender has two common definitions; both of them are forms of gender confusion:

  1. denoting or relating to a person of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex.
  2. may be used as a synonym for transsexual when someone medically transitions from one sex to another.

(Transsexual is an outdated term and is prefered not to be used)

(61-98% of young people outgrow their gender confusion if allowed to progress naturally.[1]) This is a false statement as a majority of transgender people do not detransition, however a small minority do detransition and do deserve respect as much as anyone else.

The term "transgender" is not to be confused with a whole host of "gender identities" under the umbrella of non-binary some non-binary people do identify with the term transgender and go by trans-nonbinary, which includes:

  • Non-binary is an umbrella term for those whose gender identities do not fit within the definition of man and woman.
  • Bigender (both man and woman)
  • Agender (neither man nor woman)
  • Genderfluid (alternating between genders)
  • Third gender (found in Indian culture, some American Indian cultures, and also invented by modern-day people)
  • FtM is another term for transmen (female to male)
  • MtF is another term for Transwomen (male to female)

Reputable scientific & social organizations which affirm the validity of transgender people include the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association and the American Psychoanalytic Association. This does not show a leftist bias in these organizations as they are doctors and know what they are talking about.

There is a myth that doctors are doing sex reassignment surgery on children, this does not happen instead they offer puberty blockers to children (with possible parent knowledge depending on the child's safety) around the ages of 9-12 (puberty/hormone blockers don't have any negative effects they only halt puberty) a couple or few years if the kid still indeed has gender dysphoria then hormones will be offered; testosterone or estrogen depending on the individuals gender. Later on when they are an adult the individual might decide to undergo surgery if that's what they need.

A majority of transgender people will experience Gender Euphoria after their transition and are seen as their desired gender.

Everyone deserves as much respect and kindness as anybody else regardless of their gender identity and sexual orientation and they do not need to be fixed because they are perfect just the way they are.
