This article and thread are a good example of how transgenderism is tearing the world apart, especially families. If trans people had wanted to, they could have gone public with reasonable positions. That would have meant eschewing the affirmative model and encouraged trans people to seek therapy first. It also would have meant acknowledging that trans people are not REAL men and women, but facsimiles. It would have meant NOT encouraging children to join what obviously has become a fad. And it would have meant NOT invading women's private spaces. Trans activists decided to "go for the gold", and that meant the whole nine yards of pushing themselves into every part of human life, and pretending to be "real". The activists are extremely bad people. I might say that about all trans people, except some of them are the victims of the activists. Of course, the victims often adopt the positions of the activists in order to feel confident about what they are doing.

Now, I'm going to say some things I have said before which most people scoff at. Human beings survive death. Furthermore, reincarnation is a reality. I have been studying near-death experiences (all my life, but more so recently because I am approaching my own death). They provide MORE than adequate proof that humans survive death. What this means is that if a child screws up his/her life because of this issue, or a parent ruins his or her child's life, that is just one life lost to this delusion. The lesson will be learned in this life, and the mistake won't be repeated. Life goes on. We are all immortal.
