I don't think the issue itself is a laughing matter at all. I think the way it's being treated by some of the posters in this thread is just laughable...too laughable to be offensive.

Okay, the wording gave the wrong impression of what you meant. I'm glad you don't think the issue is laughable.

I find transexuals kind of funny....I mean the ones I have met have been INCREDIBLY ugly 'women'  (which of course they aren't, no matter how the tolerant ones want to pretend they are...)

Silas is obviously under the impression that genetics and biology is predetermined by God. In fact, Furthermore, Silas also probably believes in predestination and that dinosaurs and humans walked the planet at the same time.
My comment goes to speak about the sensationalism in this country in regards to their supposed moral fiber or lackthereof, which has been popular to denounce since the 1960's.
I'm not going to speak of this doctor or his ideals, but I will say, if one believes that sexuality is based in a part of one's brain, similar to that of in a ram (where 1 in 10 male ram's are homosexual) and one might determine that in many children, the wires may be crossed and guided toward a homosexual urge, or a bisexual urge, or a hyper-heterosexual urge, then one might then come to the conclusion that it could be fixed at an earlier age BEFORE a child has endured a short lifetime of criticism, laughter, self-loathing, confusion, and suicide. [Though if it were found out that a child did fix nature's mistake, I'm sure one would endure just as much trauma by people like Silas.]
It's not to say that I agree or disagree, but this thread very easily shows how unwilling many Americans are able to face change and new ideas with open minds. But then again, Bill O'Reilly has told you that it liberal ideas like these which are destroying the moral fabric of our country.
<gag>
P.S. If you found out your child would be MR/DD, or have Severe Hemophilia, and you had the power to change it, would you? Food for thought. [I hope those I attempt to connect with are open-minded enough to make the proper parallels]

You mean like her? Kate's pics: Me!
Don't assume all or even a plurality of people fit your stereotype.
And I think the point of this doctor is to delay masculinizing features so that if someone does move forward with transitioning, they have a shot of fitting in physically and being able to live a productive life.

Are you suggesting your link is the normal everyday looking transsexual???
They will NEVER fit in, mainly because they are abnormal.

Thinking.... thinking.... nope, pretty sure I'm not connecting with your attempt at logic.
Please view the October 2003 study by Dr. Charles E. Roselli et al. (Oregon Health and Science University) on male rams and homosexuality in nature. I believe I was wrong, however, as you may find his theory to have pin-pointed their homosexuality at a rate of approximately 8%.
(Hits myself in the face)

Like black people in a nearly all-white town. So what. That's not a reason to fault them for it. "Abnormal" really ought not be such an offensive term. Simply not being part of the majority isn't a crime in itself.
