A) Same sex attraction is NOT REMOTELY like "changing sex". NOBODY CHANGES SEX - EVER.
B) Being "trans" has got nothing to do with who you are or are not sexually attracted to - a remarkable number of these trans-identified men are "lesbians". "Lesbians" who get angry and violent because lesbians (the female kind - you know WOMEN who like WOMEN) are neither attracted to, nor impressed by their "lady dicks".
C) No-one is stopping these blokes dressing like something out of a low-budget porn flick and giving themselves a girlie name. As far as we are concerned they can knock themselves out - BUT THEY ARE NOT WOMEN.
D) They might want to be women, think they look like women, want to be in women's sex-segregated spaces so that they can tell themselves they are women, but they aren't and never will be.
E) No-one is suggesting conversion therapy for them or anyone else. All that is being suggested is that when children or teens express these emotions they are not rushed into transition, into hormones, into surgery - into anything that will have a permanent impact on their health and their lives. Waiting is not "conversion therapy"
F) Do you not think that hating your healthy body so much, wanting to change it so radically, and claiming that people can change sex "shows disordered thinking, they need help with mental illness". Because I do. Puberty is bliddy awful for nearly everyone - but it is part of a natural process and needs to run its course.
Watchful waiting gives precious time to mature - physically, mentally and emotionally. It is known that most children who think they may be trans grow up to realise they are gay, or are autistic, or are both, and don't need any brutal, life-damaging surgery.
People who genuinely suffer from body dysphoria/dysmorphia will be properly supported and helped. The perverts jumping on the bandwagon will jump off again when they realise they can't con people any longer.
