Don't unnecessarily conflate rare intersex conditions with me. You know nothing about me.
I was left to my own devices as a kid, it was before regressive strict gendered toys and clothes were a thing. I played with toys that, looking back, would be called "boy's toys".
I haven't worn dresses/skirts since school uniforms.
Trousers are more practical for building dens and riding bikes, playing cowboys and Indians (it was the 70's before terminology changed)
I learned to ride a motorcycle when I was thirteen, bought my first one at seventeen.
Was very attractive to boys my age because even when I was doing things we'd now consider "masculine" and wear clothes we'd now consider "masuline", all my biking gear was men's stuff, I always looked like what I am, a woman, so I wasn't mistaken for male or thought of as masculine, or butch, or lesbian BECAUSE it's always obvious what sex someone is.
Most of the time I wear blokes clothes, not because I want to look like a bloke, they're just clothes and a lot of the stuff I wear is stuff I've got from boyfriends, or charity shops tbh lol. They're comfortable, hard wearing, and have pockets! And yet I'm never mistaken for a man, because I'm female.
And get hit on by men all the time, because I'm obviously female and look female, even feminine, even though I don't DO anything at all to look feminine. Being a woman is ENOUGH to look feminine.
Whatever we wear, or what hobbies we have, or what job we do, we look like the sex we are.
I've never ever tried to look more girly, I just go about my day, in the body I have and funnily enough people just know what I am.
Shocker.

It was an eye opener. I wanted to join them and work for them for all the right reasons and I've worked as a volunteer for charities too. The volunteers in my experience, for the most part (there are always exceptions of course! that's human nature I guess) those volunteers have been good people with the best intentions. For instance, I worked as a volunteer manning the Samaritans phone lines. All lovely, genuine people and to be fair to The Samaritans, they run a rigorous training and selection process so only the best get through. I only have praise for that organisation.
I don't know, but I think the figureheads of these large charities are probably good people too.
It's the people who rise to the middle ranks, or the highest ranks of local branches, who are the bad apples. The good people with honourable intentions leave the organisations and don't go for the senior roles as they know they're in the minority and that they don't "fit". The wrong uns stick around and climb the "greasy pole" as far as they can go. You can't change an organisation that's rotten, singlehandedly.
It's soul destroying to try to change a rotten culture, and also to watch the wastefulness and hypocrisy. I imagine that's how people working for public services: academia, the civil service, law and justice departments, the BBC and the like, must feel too. It would be interesting to hear from someone's perspective about that.

@niriop
I guess that's a fair question from your perspective
I pray, I focus on building a daily relationship with an eternal, omnipresence that I first encountered in my early 20's while learning to meditate.
As Bill Hicks would describe it, from his experiences with LSD, my third eye was opened up to a realm of Infinite oneness that as an atheist I didn't then associate with God.
As the Gautama Buddha said, don't take his word for any of the things he describes. Do your own practice and test to see if you find the same.
Until you do, it will seem like woowoo and nonsense! I totally get that.
These experiences are out there waiting for you if you choose to look 🙏
If you do provide the quiet space in your life to find them you too will be convinced that they are real. Until then, you will scoff at the ideas. And that's a shame. However, it's up to you to explore rationally and scientifically, IE with an open mind, and without assuming the answer before you've looked.
The ball is in your court. And it's entirely your choice. Be well 🙏

Marshall, your mealy mouthed attitude here is exactly why we're in the mess that we're in.
The gender ideologues have consistently said there's no debate, they've refused to debate, they've aggressively shut down debate.
I'm not a huge fan of Matt Walsh, I disagree with him on many things, but on THIS issue I completely agree with him.
There IS no middle ground.
The gender ideologues don't debate, because they don't HAVE the truth on their side AND THEY KNOW IT. They make out that they do and in their echo chambers they probably believe that they do. But no research, no factual reality actually supports what they're saying. The number of people who are truly dysphoric and need hormones and surgery is something like less than one percent. Not several in every class at school, which is what is happening. Children are being aggressively marketed to and influenced online and through schools and media.
Please talk to Marcus, The Offensive Tranny. He was born female, sufferers crippling gender dysphoria and transition for Marcus was absolutely necessary to exist in the world. Medical transition was right and necessary for Marcus.
But Marcus acknowledges that he was born female, is still biologically female AND ALWAYS WILL BE, he's open about that and he advocates for not transing children and for allowing ALL children to take the time to work out who they are, get all the psychological support and help they need to figure things out and get the treatment they need, which may not involve any hormones or surgery for the MAJORITY of them.
Marcus is well aware of the aggressive cultish ideology that is pushing this agenda on naive vulnerable people, they're vulnerable BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG. Tiktok'rs and YouTubers and social media platforms, AND schools, are pushing an ideology on ALL children which will only be relevant to a tiny proportion.
These ideologues are deliberately targeting children on platforms like tiktok and Reddit and with sex education in schools (PLEASE watch Disaffected YouTube channel on what's being taught to young schoolchildren in Vermont for instance. And the pornographic content in books aimed at thing children in school libraries).
Deliberately targeting and grooming children, who are naturally questioning and unsure about themselves, lacking confidence in their identity and their place in the world - being a kid is about learning ALL of that isn't it - but look at the misinformation they're being fed. It's no wonder so many children are unhappy and confused and this confusion they're being led into IS UNFORGIVABLE.
Matt and people like him, parents and childless adults like myself are FIGHTING for children to be left alone to be kids and figure out who they are - slowly and naturally - without ideas about sex, gender, sexuality, genitals etc etc etc being pushed at them.
This is war against children and it has to stop before more kids are harmed.
