  1. Francis is quite right about one thing. We have had public discourse TOTALLY HIJACKED by a tiny minority on an "ideological crusade" for want of any better description. I absolutely agree with Francis these people have made public discussion of the topic almost impossible. Where Francis is wrong however is there are these very rare cases of people, who for whatever reason are genetically caught between male and female. A famous example is the South African athlete Caster Semenya who has a testable, verifiable genetic condition. So Francis can't just say there's only male & female because there are these rare cases BUT are NOT the people being discussed. What's being discussed are people who psychologically want to identify as whatever they like. This all comes from an ideology that's been pushed before. There's the famous case of David Reimer. He had a tragic accident as a child and a psychologist named John Money stepped in. John Money claimed David would be fine raised as a girl so long as nobody told him. It ended tragically when David Reimer committed suicide. People like John Money were dismissed as fringe lunatics and cases like David Reimer's PROVED their ideas were simply WRONG. How these ideas have made a comeback is ridiculous. Just like happened with the repressed memory cases of the late 1990s that also were found to be manifestations of fringe psychology the few people who were genuine cases got lost on the mess. Others got tragically destroyed in the witch hunts as happened to a friend of mine's family. This is the problem with fringe ideologies. They cause real harm and for whatever reason the psychology community seems to attract fringe ideologies.
