  1. I realize there are cases of, wrong gender application. I still think it's decided too often unnecessarily. People have feminine and masculine genes. Some more or less of each. It doesn't mean ya gotta go whole hog full change. The Jenner person wasn't a ultra macho man, but she's making a horrific woman. My opinion obviously, and I'd never stand in the way of anyone to change, if they feel soooo the other. But I think there are many men who are feminine, and women who are somewhat masculine. And to me that's fine . I just think it's like trying to make humans into something they're not. Like cloning. Trying to create a person by deconstructing their genes. But like I said. I'd never stand in anyones way of doing it. As long as they're 100% sure. It like being gay. Would u tell your partner he or she has to trans, because it's more, the way norm is? We should accept it, but I don't think we should press it. Funny, we call a pedophile a freak for desiring a young lover. I don't mean 5, 10 years old. We call Roy Cohn, a scumbag for wanting to date teenage girls. When in the early years of America, men married girls 12, 15 years old. And it was commonplace. Then you had to be 18, 21, to marry. Just saying

  2.  @Chaos-._  That's why I tried to specify my lack of, hands on experience with the gender issue. I'm 70 years old, and through all my youth, never had contact with anyone trans. And even through puberty and on through my years as an adult, still never been exposed to this gender issue. So you'll understand my ignorance in the area. My whole point was meant to try and understand the total transition, vs acceptance that not everyone is the same degree of male or female. When I was in the army, there were guys who were conscientious objectors. Some guys gave them grief. Called them names. Of course this was during the draft. Your number came up, you're in. Unlike today. I gave them the right to be objective. War does suck. Especially seemingly misunderstood ones. Noone, should be forced to kill another person on the roll of the dice. Anyway, all through my early years and middle years, I knew about gay folks, cross dressing, etc. But never knew a trans person. Being a remodeling person, I've worked for gay people and never had any feelings of animosity or that they were weird or anything. Just guys that were living with other guys and women with other women, that they loved or just had an arrangement with. I guess it's hard for me to think of a 7 year old, truly having the mindset, without outside influence, that he or she was meant to be the other sex. I did have a woman I knew tell me, she thought she should have been a boy, because she liked to do typical boy stuff. Play football, baseball etc. But she turned out to be very much a woman. Had a son. Likes to cook, dresses like anyone else. All the general markings of a woman. But I do notice she's kindofa tomboy too. Likes hiking, kayaking, camping, etc. But that doesn't mean she wanted to change her sex at an early age, when she wondered if she should have been a boy. And that's my point. Maybe we jump too early. Just cause someone else says, sure! Go for it. But I don't think less of your brother or anyone that makes the decision. It's just my feelings on the subject. Just like a little boy wanting to play with dolls say. Do we automatically assume he's really a girl trapped in a boy's body? I wouldn't. Time to grow thru life naturally. Accepting the differences.
