I had all 6 as well. Puberty was terrifying. Now I am a mom with a husband I adore (pretty boy collegic soccer player who is always put together 😂), and our 2 kids who are my world. As the universe has a sense of humor, I also have natural 32DD’s. And muscles because I look like a blonde hair blue eyed typical soccer mom, but I’m still a tomboy that hates pink, loves to play hard, and I still don’t get plastic dolls.

What is happening to children with gender theory is cruel. Telling fabulous boys they are really girls is cruel. Telling strong girls who like trucks and mud they are really boys is cruel.

It is a sad life, shortened by loneliness and big pharma subscriptions, for those who persist in gender dysphoria past the age of 25. I am all for allowing adults to do whatever they want, so long as those with a functioning penis don’t think they have a right to demand my daughter as a college roommate or prance around naked in pool changing rooms with young girls. We have separate spaces because of biology, not self proclaimed identity.

In 2-3 decades we will return to acknowledging both immutable biological reality, and the cruelty of trying to force little children who don’t fit stereotypes to mutilate their bodies long before anyone can know who they will be or what they will want as adults. This is not the first time society has allowed others to turn little boys into eunichs or mutilated the genitals of little girls. It’s cruel, always has been, always will be.

"There appears to be no other objective standards: no blood tests, no MRI, no other diagnostic tools available to diagnose this, other than the patient’s word."

Since true transsexualism is, in essence, a birth defect in which the brain does not develop to be the same sex as the reproductive organs, since this defect can be alleviated with hormonal and surgical treatment, and since this has been known and supported by research since the 1960s, I would think that, if this is a prevalent malformation, there should be a major research effort to establish a panoply of objective standards.

Relying on the patient's word may be sufficient for an adult who has passed through puberty and young adulthood with all of the attendant social interactions. Relying on the word of a youth or teenager or young adult, all of whom are naive to the world and whose brains are not completely developed seepms to border on the criminal.
