  1. Sex education prevents children from being groomed. The more childrens know about sex from a healthy point of view the more healthy life they are going to have. All the grooming is a nonsense, kids are not being sexually groomed, they are becoming more mature by design of their biology, hence why puberty has been starting much earlier in kids than in previous generations, their natural intelligence is also much higher than previous generations. Nothing has been more harmful to kids than fearful projections of toxic parents thinking their kids are being sexualized or groomed, when the truth is it is the parents that are sexualizing something that is not sexual by nature for prepubescent kids that can never be sexualized, because to them such content is playful and neutral, it is the parents that are creating the most abuse for children, hence why they are running away from them, at this point kids are much safer around teachers than ever before, and that is a fact.

  2. As a trans woman I know it is not just social, gender dysphoria and gender in particular is a somatic embodiment of the sexual polarity in relation to the body we have and in relation to the world outside, the society. That's why I could be alone in a desert somewhere and still feel gender dysphoria, I knew my gender was at odds with my body sex since I was 3, and only due to the observation of my own body, not because of society. No amount of mental talk would create gender congruence with my body, cause trans people also have a sexually dimorphic nucleus in the preoptic area of the brain that matches that of the opposite sex, plus gender dysphoria itself was found to have genetic origin, a dysphoric gene, in other words for trans people their true sex is in the area of the brain as a defining factor of sexual polarity that is consciously inhabited.

  3. This bs excuse is always hilarious because iirc studies concluded that ASD folk are the least prone to propaganda or manipulation, and are far more true to themselves than most society in the world. Not all autistic people are born with the neurobiology of a trans person, but many are, neurodivergence/autism functions in the brain more like a gateway towards the brain structure and development matching gender identity of the opposite sex. Thing is autistic people hate arbitrary rules And gender is a bunch of arbitrary rules about how you have to act, dress, behave, and the interests you are allowed to have. The more trans people transition, especially as kids, the more fulfilling life and happier life they tend to have, and also much longer life, I know autistic trans people in their 80's who transitioned in the 1978.

  4.  @graycat7704  Everyone of us has a gender, because it is a sexual energy that seeks harmony with the body, if you were a boy with the brain you have now you'd get dysphoria almost certainly, which is instinctual, like for example me being a trans woman, one day I was shaving my legs without even realizing I was doing it, it's because my own body itself was driven by this sexual polarity within me seeking a harmony with the right body, that is called gender identity, and we may not even know that identity consciously yet, but our body acts upon that identity automatically beyond our own control, because it is an overall sexual polarity that dominates the whole body. Anytime you get a haircut or express yourself in a certain way, it is informed and driven by your gender identity formed by the frequency of your dominant sexual polarity, which is very unique to you, ultimately we are sexual creatures driven by sexual energy since we are born, and even after we die. I think Yogis would perhaps understand better what I am talking about here.The materialistic science will never be able to tackle this properly because it ignores the reality of our energetic body, ethereal body or light body, those are subtler levels of energy that are influencing on our own being and the body that we possess, all our quirks, interests, and expressions, all of them are consisting of the masculine and feminine balance unique for each one of us, for a trans person that dominant masculine or feminine polarity is not just emotional and mental, it is also physical, because our whole body is just another mechanism of communication, it's not verbal, it is visual. We are sexed through and through, and the body wants to reflect that dominant sexual energy more harmoniously, for you all it takes is perhaps get a make-up, get a specific hairstyle, for a trans person, their whole body needs to be changed in order to communicate more freely, at the end, it really is not about being man or woman, it's about communicating that sexual polarity/gender identity as efficiently as possible - mentally, emotionally and physically. It comes down to a recognition of how our body should be formed to feel more free within.

  5. Exactly. It is disturbing how or why they are pathologizing something that shouldn't be, as if there wasn't enough stigma as it is, it makes things only worse.
