Quote:Schools in Ireland have brought in mandatory trans gender talks for 10-12 year olds. After talking to my little brother about it at least 90% goes right over their head.

 

Perhaps they should accurately describe the addadicktome and lopadickoffame procedures to them.  I think that they would probably get the point better then.

 

The thing is, gender reassignment is pretty much an adult thing and in my opinion a choice.  A child that hasn't even gone through puberty has no idea what gender he/she "identifies" with.  At that point they don't even know their whole sexuality preference as far as being gay or straight.

 

I do believe that people who are transgender and possibly even gays are influenced by their upbringing and early influences.  Am I saying that parents make their children gay or encourage them to be transsexuals?  No, but I do have a hard time believing that a child who has not even been through puberty "knows" that they should be the opposite sex and/or be attracted to the same sex.  I do believe that the majority of that is based on upbringing and today's social media.

 

One other thing that would be interesting to study and research.  How many people that are transsexual had difficult childhoods?  My guess is that there are many.
