This isn't about hate or about love.  It's just about truth.  We shouldn't mock a male who goes about his daily activities in women's clothes, but we shouldn't hold them up as examples of bravery either.  The people with the training to help them shouldn't be encouraging coddling and body modification.  They should be encouraging coping strategies.

Why does it matter and why are people getting their knickers in a twist.  Why does it matter if Elliot Page wants to be recognised as a male from birth?

So long as this isn't exploited in the sporting world, it simply doesn't matter.

So what do we do when it is exploited in the sporting world?  It's only a matter of time, especially in professional sports, which is where there the money is.  Can any male who "identifies" as a female compete in women's golf or tennis?  Do we petition the IOC to abolish all gender specific events?  

Where do you draw the line?
