Homosexuality was considered a mental illness until the 70s.
It was only decriminalized in Ireland 30 years ago.
No doubt there were plenty pontificating about driving gay people and their advocates out of the country back then too.

If hormones can blur the lines with anatomy, why would gender identity not also be subject to variation during development?

Humpf. No, I'm sure they did, but there were far, far fewer. It wasn't 'normalised', and nor should it be.

From my knowledge & understanding, sex is a biological construct while gender is a social & language one. I'd guess that fits somewhat into near-modern feminist theory.
For sex (at least as it goes for humans), the general mode is male & female derived from the sex chromosomes, normally either XX or XY. Of course there are occasions where this does not easily fit for some people due to DNA corruption at some point during early pre-birth development e.g. Turner syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome. In some cases, sex chromosomes are not absolute defining characteristics but they usually don't cause medical issues either for themselves or their offspring. With the current technology, we don't have anything that can change a persons sex and until we are able to realistically approach that potential goal, there is no debate to be hand on this.
Gender OTOH whilst historically derived from sex, isn't rooted in science itself although a lot of language makes significant links to it. On the whole issue behind it, the be honest it's a case of "I'm not going there" for the simple reason that any time I've discussed it (elsewhere), both sides of the matter I've found have zealots that make any rational,frank debate almost impossible. While it can be easy to dismiss "both side-isms" in a lot of cases, unfortunately this is my experience. Now on on hand you have people whom are openly anti-trans; if you had a venn diagram you'd likely get a significant overlap between them and those with other hard-right/alt-right/"alt-lite" talking points/causes, (though there's a number right across the political spectrum). I know that an awful lot of them are c**ts in general, so that's to be expected. However I've also got both barrels from "the other end" as well where if you don't agree 100% with their view on trans identity, you're anti-trans & a bigot etc. even if you're just asking questions to try and learn more from peoples experiences and to compare them with others - one person labelled me as such during a discussion of voter ID simply because I mentioned that in the 20 years its been in force I have never heard of a story either in person on trying to find one online where this was an issue to a trans person looking to vote in NI (or anywhere else in Europe that has such rules of their own) when said person, resident in GB, claimed that it would be a potential risk to trans people. To me it's like the Israeli government claiming that anyone critiquing any of their actions are anti-Semitic, let alone anti-Zionist.
Because of the above paragraph, I'm out when it comes to it. For me, I'll take each individual issue as it comes. In a world which has become hotly polarised, where anti-intellectualism has grown to uncomfortable levels, where people who don't like what they see or read is hand-waved away as "fake news" and where Orwellian undertones (mainly in language but also a bit in the realms of authority or those seeking it) are incrementally increasing without effective checks & balances, I ended up getting tired of all of the shit going on. All I can do is vote and hope that reasonable people whom want to make the world a better place - even where I'd might disagree with a lot of what they say/do but actually have some f**king competence in public service - take the reigns sooner than later rather than being "ruled" by parafascists and/or people who think its all a big laugh while raiding the public purse for themselves & their mates.
Great post

Let people be what they want to be, it won't have too much burden on your lives and if it comes to your door don't close it in their face..
Young ones are different now, I've really had to change my approach when these subjects come up in the house, as we are from a different generation and only coming to terms with these new terms.
If someone wants to identify as non binary then let them
I'm not sure if the link to this is social media, in that it has allowed knowledge of these new genders to be labeled and accepted more.. But not too long ago during punk or the fashion trends of the early 80's people were not afraid to be who they wanted to be

Correct
But I hate to say that in at least two of the cases I know of, the parents actively encouraged this behavior in an effort to bring attention to themselves and get plaudits on social media
Before the second world war 2 institutions in particular divided the people- Tammany Hall and the Ku Klux Klan. Neither survived into the 50s.
They were broken by a united working class.
Because the economic system changed.
Trans will probably be the same. There will be infertile women in their 40s with male chests and people will wonder what happened.

Exactly. Responsible parenting would cut a lot of it out. I personally only know one 'trans' teenager, but I have to say, the parents gloried in being such "look at me, I'm open-minded'"-liberal parents that if you had to pick one family, it'd be them. Remember, if anything goes, then anything will come.

Assuming for the sake of argument that this is true, so what?
It doesn't mean that these are not real issues or that the deniers are correct.
No matter what the issue or how genuine and worthy it is, there will always be someone trying to use it to their advantage.
Look at Steve Bannon and "the wall". Or those BLM leaders who were lining their pockets. Their corruption is completely separate from the issues they were profiting from.

I dunno but Anorexia is treated with months of therapy while gender dysphoria is not. Patients are shunted towards surgery.
Anorexia generates very little money. Gender dysphoria is lucrative.

Let's just hope for their sake that it's not your child or grandchild who has to deal with gender identity issues.
I know 4 kids who are supposedly transgender
I hate to say but from my vantage point it's just oddball kids looking for attention and acceptance
One kid is a complete weirdo who was adopted and went completely off the rails when his parents got divorced. Before he became transgender he was stalking and harassing elderly neighbors at nighttime wearing a mask (pre pandemic) Very disturbing behavior
I accept people who want to transition. Whatever floats your boat. Go for it. But it's this nonsense of non binary and them/those pronouns. And then when Men want to compete in Women's sport. I draw a hard line at that point. It's children who have been over indulged and have developed a mental problem.
Like I said, let's hope for their sake it never arrives on your doorstep.
Correct
But I hate to say that in at least two of the cases I know of, the parents actively encouraged this behavior in an effort to bring attention to themselves and get plaudits on social media
Exactly. Responsible parenting would cut a lot of it out. I personally only know one 'trans' teenager, but I have to say, the parents gloried in being such "look at me, I'm open-minded'"-liberal parents that if you had to pick one family, it'd be them. Remember, if anything goes, then anything will come.
So the parents should have hid themselves in shame?
Maybe they should have done what my next-door neighbour did with their pregnant (late) teenage daughter when I was a kid.
Kept her in the house once she started to show, until after she'd given birth.
It's Not like it wasn't widely known. But sure it still had to be downplayed and treated as a source of shame and embarrassment in 80s Ireland.

I have honestly no idea if that's true or where it's true, so I'll leave that alone.
The rights and wrongs of how it is dealt with is, to me, a separate argument from whether gender identity is a genuine real issue that should be looked upon with compassion rather than bigotry and denial.

In the Tavistock case in London the majority of female trans surgery cases were either lesbian or autistic teenagers. Some aspects of it are quite sinister.

I had actually first hand experience of this and tread carefully as wasn't sure what to do. Girlfriend at the time oldest girl ( 10) at the time, always seen herself as a tomboy. It moved from there to wishing she was a boy, and feels like a boy, to wanting to be addressed as a boys name and called him. Parents had split and I at the time, put abit of it down to that. And she grow out of it, she never changed 5yrs later, even though I don't see the mother any more. So it's more than a phase. Didn't like me calling her name, and I found it hard to call her a boys name, so u just try to work round it. Situation for her mum was awkward, as its strange coming from one so young at the time. But that how people feel and you have to accept all people are different.

This is a discussion board and people share OPINIONS on discussion boards
My OPINION is, that the 4 people I know who are transitioning, are motivated by a desire to seek attention and to receive positive reinforcement from others on social media.
Other posters may have different OPINIONS based on their lived experiences
That being said, I make sure to address them by their chosen names and correct pronouns if I happen to run into them or their parents.
Either way, regardless of their motivations for transitioning, it must be difficult for all involved

"Line one, page one of any psychotherapeutic approach – be it Freudian, Kleinian, Jungian, it doesn't matter – is what you get is not what there is. There's something else beneath the manifest.
Most trans kids need therapy to find out what the problem is.
If I had a trans daughter I would not approve the removal of her breasts if I wasn't sure what the problem was. You must be joking.

Of the 540 total, less than 10 percent, or 45 children, were entered onto a programme that in the past used puberty blockers.
The statistics were given to TUV leader Jim Allister, who has previously raised concerns about the matter.
The North Antrim MLA, who believes sex is determined at birth, referred to the controversy over the Tavistock Clinic in England, which is to close next year and be replaced by two regional centres.
I'd be examining my conscience Seaf if I found myself on the same side of anything as that archbigot.

The left has lost the plot on this, Ross. Some of the best stuff comes from right wingers.
Alex Massie had a very good column about it in the Times, you couldn't argue with it. Unless you were MR2 ;)
Ill share another "anecdote" with you
My wifes niece has long been in the shadow of her older sister
About 4 years she developed all these mysterious illnesses. After extensive diagnoses by some of the best doctors in the world, the conclusion was that it was all a cod
Then two years ago, she wrote an essay at school about killing herself......immediate intervention, again the best healthcare professionals......conclusion......more attention seeking
Then last Labour Day weekend at a family cookout (which is the first weekend in September) she announced that she was really looking forward to going back to school and was in particular looking forward to joining an "affinity group" where the broader school body showed solidarity with the non binary, trans and queer students.
I said to my wife on the way home, that if I was a betting person, a big announcement was imminent
So far shes just in the affinity group but has several friends who are non binary, trans and queer. While her parents are liberals, they have already dealt with the attention seeking behavior so know how to handle this.
Other parents might handle this differently and "encourage" or "indulge" this behavior and end up with a kid taking measures that are completely unnecessary
Interesting uses of quotation marks.
I would have more time for trance

Well, obviously I shan't repeat the offence! A one month ban. Had to do with Polish border guards supposedly only allowing white Ukrainians cross the border. It was probably 'fake news' anyway.

There are two sexes, either your female or your male. Anything else is a mental illness. Regina Doherty and the people behind the curtain pulling her strings should be driven out of Ireland.
You do get that sex and gender are not the same thing?

Like his Party leader I'm sure he's all for inclusiveness.
This reminds me of something that happened in my local area
One of the Libs in an adjoining town has a daughter who came out as non binary. The daughter was instrumental setting up a support group at the local high school for LBGTQ youth.
The local newspaper ran a very nice story about the daughter and the group.
Someone then put a link to the story up on the local Facebook page and it got a bunch of likes and comments
And this is where the fun began.
People who were genuinely supportive, started making comments like:
"your DAUGHTER is amazing"
"I always knew SHE would accomplish great things"
"that GIRL is an inspiration to us all"
Well of course, these are gender specific pronouns and are offensive to non binary people (and their parents)
The mother started replying to these comments, correcting people and lecturing them about the correct use of pronouns and other gender specific terms. She ended each response with..."we all need to do better" which has now essentially entered the local vernacular as a snarky response you make to someone you disagree with.
Then some local Trump supporters got wind of the post and they all started chiming in......pretending to be supportive, but of course using all the wrong terms.
Post eventually got locked by the admins

It's called trolling, generally happens on the US thread, you should go on it sometimes
