There are so many people in this world that do weird things and behave in weird ways that I stopped asking why a long time ago.

I came to the conclusion we may never know the answer to that question. Or perhaps some extraordinary genius person will figure it all out and explain it to us someday.

LOL, I don't think testosterone therapy would help him! More than ever before, I think rather than criticize or condemn, people should be feeling quite thankful if their lives are not affected by transsexualism in any way.

I’m very sorry, big hugs to you, I can’t imagine going through that. I hope you are all doing ok. I do believe you, thank you.

Not. Even. Close. I could post so much here...
It was perceived as one at one time.... that's the point

Mental gymnastics and irrelevant.

Did the left handers movement demand to change reality for the world? Demand new language, new biological definitions, teaching to 5 year olds to explain they, too, could be left handed if they wanted to? Did they demand drugs and surgery to 'fix' the issue?

No comparison at all to what is going on today.

I think while there is more acceptance, there is also more backlash than decades ago because of the overreach to make this part of the everyday lives of the entire population. YMMV.

It's clear you aren't aware of what is happening in schools.

Everyone thinks that they are LGBTQ.

You'd be celebrated, not bullied.

Trans is the latest tool inthe socialist quiver to achieve more power. nothing more.

No trend or fad, just more of the same division to compliment to invasion across the southern border to destabilize society and give the government an excuse to overstep state's rights.

Thank you. He is much better now and the happiest he’s been in years. . He put in a lot of effort to get there.

Funny you should mention that, since I had a much-loved teacher in elementary school who was left-handed. There was a period in which I wanted to be left-handed too. I tried and tried writing with my left hand, and I was frustrated that I couldn't be a left-hander like my teacher. It just wasn't fair!

It took a while for the adults in my life to convince me that I was right-handed, and that was something I could not change, just like I couldn't change the colors of my eyes.

In today's world, I wonder if it'd be different - that I could be a left-hander if I really wanted.

That’s great to hear. No parent wants to see their kid really struggling, for whatever reason.
