Gelico, calm down, you're doing your nut over a story that was a big fat lie.

Reminds me of the story of that supposedly christian girl who was being fostered by a Muslim family. People burst their ulcers in outrage over that story, before the full truth came out, 48 hours later.

There is always more to these sensationalist headlines, than meets the eye.

LOL, i'm often doing my nut over something or other

i still think this is wrong to recognise this in children as a fact though.

if martha wants to be arthur or bob wants to be barbara i have absolutely no issue with that AS ADULTS

but i think it's nothing less than child abuse to be honest that this is being taken seriously when any child suggests it.  it's like the latest fad

when i was 9-10 i wanted to be a boy called george.  why?  cos i had two older brothers and i read too many famous five books, that's why

even as teenagers, in fact, especially as teenagers they cannot be sure but to give kids hormone blockers et al is absolutely disgusting in my book

if they still feel the same as fully grown adults then good luck to them say, let them be who they want

tell you what though, when i was a kid at school if one of us corrected the teacher in anyway whatsoever we'd get the blackboard rubber chucked at us likely as not

i agree, girls very rarely had stuff chucked at them. the boys did though quite often, and the other stuff you mentioned.

One woman teacher, when in charge of the dinner sessions used to use a large serving spoon to bang on a table to get our attention, she used quite a bit of force but the spoons were very durable in those days, one day one of the boys moved a bowl full of custard right where she was aiming, the result was a fantastic expolsion of custard all over her, including her very buffont hair, it hardly any hit anyone else, boy was she furious, especially as the entire canteen burst into laughter, including the dinner ladies. The boy continued to plead that it was an accident when called to the headmaster.

Ah, the memories...A.S.Matthews, history master at my alma mater, Holgate School...a former major in the Royal Artilliery whose aim was always devastatingly accurate. His blackboard rubber once caught me behind the ear and I experienced ringing noises for a week afterwards! The bells, the bells........

We considering there is only one human race, this person clearly is an idiot.

However gender dysphoria does exist and there is male and female genders.

So to compare the two is very stupid.

As you must be claiming gender dysphoria does not exist, correct?

Its not child abuse Gelico, to understand if a child may have gender dysphoria.

That is absurd to think it is child abuse just respecting what someone wants to be reffered to.

Lets take a reality check here

Its not right to encourage but support and understand, that a child maybe does have gender dysphoria.

So that means also respecting how the child wishes to be referred to. That is not going to harm anyone and not bring about the use of hormone blockers and any parent or teacher that encourages such use of Hormone blockers would be considered negligent and agree that would be child abuse.

Referring to a child that wants to be classed as a he instead of a she is not child abuse. Nor would it be if they wanted to be called George instead of the name they were born with, would it? Nor would this not stop them finding out who they are over time, would it?

Lets face it, what is happenning in this situation is more about Christian beliefs, than it is of a child that may have gender dysphoria. A teacher is trying to use his beliefs to not respect the child who could have gender dysphoria and is doing this based off a belief that gender dysphoria does not exist.

So why are you defending that?

What did I say about being against encouraging children to use hormone replacements?

What did I say about referring to what a child identifies their gender as?

Can you not answer for yourself?

It seems to me you clearly do not think gender dysphoria exists.

Is that what you are saying.??

Now did you need or want hormone replacements because I bet people did refer to you as George?

that just cracked me up tbh



that kid in the video had spent his life wanting to be a girl, he got wrongly diagnosed, took hormone replacement and then two years later regretted it and wanted to be a boy again, by which time he has a high pitched voice and tits

Didge wrote:Which means he was wrongly encouraged to do so to take hormone replacements.
Are you suggesting referring to a person by a name is not going to allow a person over time to find out who they are?

my point is that as per the discussion on the other link, children go through many phases, children are also incredibly impressionable.  children also go through many doubts, fears, anxieties, insecurities, feeling like the odd one out, as eddie said, but for hundreds of different reasons, gender being but one of them.

Didge wrote:Oh here we go, so impressionable? To the point supporting someone will make them make the wrong decisions, will it?

Again as stated on another thread many grow out of this and as stated already nobody should encourage children to take hormone replacments but go through the possibilities of what might be happenning. That is it good be gender dysphoria, they could be gay, bi-sexual or that its just a phase

doctors need to take that into account - it seems to be very common so the sensible approach would be to let the child be aware that it is indeed very common to be confused about your gender and that it's nothing to worry about and that the natural growth and progression of the body will sort it out so that if they still feel exactly the same way as a fully grown adult, then they can transition (if they still want to)

Didge wrote:
Eh
How man times do I have to say a child should not be encourage to take hormone replacements.

You are doing the most incredible attempt at emulating Houdini, trying to escape out of a very piss poor claim, that referring to a gender a child wants to be referred to, is to you Child abuse.

That is just plain stupid Gelico and you are trying to go off where some children have been wrongly encourage to try and justify claiming that respecting the wish of a child is wrong based off this.

Thus you clearly must view that respecting and supporting the gender they choose is thus wrong. When as seen countless children grow out of this, realize they are gay or do have gender dysphoria

i think too much is made of this in that EVERY case is assumed to be true transgender whereas i would say that only a small minority really are

I've no idea but hardly the majority. I know two Thai trans people very well and neither of them do it to make a living.

But you can't deny that Thai transsexuals do make a living from it? 

This from an interview with a Thai transgender campaigner for transgender rights.

Discrimination remains
Tolerance, said Suttirat, is not the same thing as acceptance.
Despite their high profile in Thailand, transsexuals complain that they are still stereotyped - they can find work easily enough as entertainers, in the beauty industry, the media, or as prostitutes, but it is much harder to become a transgender lawyer or investment banker.
And their biggest complaint is that they cannot change their legal status.
Despite a proposal during the drafting of a new constitution last year, to allow them to change the gender on their identity cards, this has not yet been approved.


BANGKOK – Warat “Bai Thong” Tanasanti was a brilliant student who dreamed of becoming a lawyer. Her dreams came to a screeching halt, however, when she realized that this wasn’t possible.
The reason for the 24-year old’s struggle has nothing to do with her qualifications or with Thailand’s employment rate. Rather, the reason for her struggle has everything to do with how she chooses to identify—as a transgender woman.
Tanasanti, a junior lawyer for Kamthorn Surachet & Somsak, cannot achieve her goal of becoming a prosecutor because she refuses to wear the uniform that aligns with her born-male sex. Cross-dressing in Thai Court is a crime worthy of probation, she explained, because it “mocks” the sanctity of the Judge.
“If I have to attend the Court, it’s necessary [for me] to wear a male uniform,” she said in between sips of her blended coffee drink. “But, that’s not me.”
Tanasanti’s story, however, is not unique. Transgender individuals in Thailand—an overt population—have become cultural staples in the conservative Southeast Asian country of about 67 million people. Though it is difficult to find reliable numbers on the exact prevalence of the community, the International Journal of Transgenderism says numbers can be as high as 1 in 180, or as low as 1 in 3,000.
Visibility doesn’t always align with formal acceptance, though. On a surface level, Thailand appears to be accepting of its transgender community—especially when compared to its neighbors. There are rarely any instances of hate violence and there’s a myriad of hospital facilities to undergo sex-reassignment surgery. But, the stories of Tanasanti, and others, challenge this notion—suggesting that kathoeys (“lady boys”) cannot obtain jobs in formal society.

Some trans people do, not all, not most. Your own quote makes it clear many want normal jobs but can't get them. I know those I know would be more than offended if told their trans change was done for financial reasons. Some make a living off it, for those who do however many of them do so simply because, as your quote points out, they are unable to find decent work.

I think you are trying to get out of what you originally said where also this is a teacher who is not setting a good example and deliberately chose to disprespect the child based off his religious beliefs. Now if he wants to do that in his own time, good luck to the bigot, but he is a teacher.

So considering you have posted videos and argued on something I also agree is wrong on encouraging hormone replacement, shows you are avoding the main poor points you originally made. Or you stand by some dumb view that respecting a child wanting to be reffered to the gender they feel they are is harmful to you.

the post i made that you replied to didnt even mention the teacher it was all about the kids actually


when i said not to take it seriously i didn't mean to take the piss FFS!  of course support them, of course understand them, what i'm saying is that kids doubt shitloads in their life so why wouldnt they doubt their gender (while they're still developing).  i also said make the kid fully aware that it is a common thing so they dont feel like some kind of freak.

it was the hormone blockers and interfering of authorities by assuming that every child KNOWS exactly what they are in life when clearly they do not.

this should be a procedure only for adults not kids,,,,,that to my mind IS abuse.  that's my opinion

as for the teacher in question - he's there to teach his particular subject not pander to every fucking whim of the kids

Thats YOUR opinion though.

You know where you can stuff it

[Quran 41.9-12] Say: "Is it that you deny Him [Allah] who created the Earth in two days? And you claim others to be equal to Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds." He set on it (Earth) mountains, and bestowed it with blessings. And [Allah] estimated all its sustenance in four days, equally for those who ask (prayers) AFTER THIS (Thumma in Arabic) [Allah] commanded the heaven and it was still smoke. He said to it and to Earth: "Come together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come together, in willing obedience". So [Allah] decreed them as seven heavens (one above the other) in two days and revealed to each heaven its orders. And We [Allah] adorned the lowest heaven with lights, and protection. Such is the decree of the Exalted; the Knowledgeable.

But seriously, no matter how much science teaches us, fundamental questions remain. I find that religion fills that gap. There's a higher force that transcends science, I feel.

I sympathise with anyone who had any 'sexual confusion' - cos I am a very sympathetic, soft-hearted type, by nature.

But personally, at no stage in my entire life have I ever wished I was a man. Eww.
