You have cautiously and systematically gone thru the safe guards and tell of your rational skepticism. Renae, I am impressed by this.
I do know a lot of lesbians, gays, BIs, trans and drag queens. Some of them mix up sexual libido (particularly if young) with all the sloganism of LGBT activists.
10 year olds don't have a clue nor are even mentally developed. Young teens and even young adults can make really stupid spur-of-the-moment decisions, extremely influenced by peer pressure and their social circles.
What has been learned from the alarming suicide rates of transsexuals (SRS) is that the excitement of it can be great when young. They can be the hit of the party at bars and social gathers. That works in their 20s. But what about when in their 40s and 50s? What when the youthful attractiveness is gone?
What they have learned in the suicides is that evolutionary delay. As people age, their social life changes, their goals change and their perspectives change. There is no going back from SRS.
Simply, I don't oppose anything that is reversible within reason. Do whatever the person wants. No real risks. It is an entirely different matter when a child is permanently altered by chemicals or surgery. That child's born future was erased before the child was mentally and psychologically developed enough to have a clue - and becoming an adult they learn the decision was taken away from them by some guy with "DR" in front of his man, pocketing hundreds or thousands of dollars over this physical permanent alteration - and approved by his/her parents.
There is NO possible way to KNOW what a pre-puberty child will want sexually after puberty. Forget about "gender." Gender is all about social demands in the current era. Sex is about sex, the physical act of sex. Predicting it can be known what a pre-puberty child will want sexually as an adult is as clear an absurd claim as possible. Even if the male child really, really, really wants to look like a girl, there are a million reasons that could be and, regardless, has NOTHING to do with what the sexual desires of the child will be as an adult.
