I don’t buy her claim that Big Pharma is pushing the current trans-weirdness. That sounds nutty. But I’m not sure what actually is the cause of this modern craze of gender strangeness. I am a big supporter of people pursuing hapiness, and its none of my business what form your happiness takes , as long as it does not hurt anyone. <br /><br /> But was being trans always out and public and in your face like this? All of these people coming out of the woodwork announcing they are trans is something new for our society. It seems more likely to be some kind of attention getting syndrome. Or an avoidance of admitting that you are actually gay. Or fear of intercourse itself so you invent an excuse for not having sex. Or a insecurity in one’s own sexuality. Or a deep dissatisfaction with self image and the only pathology that offers a solution is to destroy the self and become a new person. All seem more likely than a flaw in your DNA that made you the wrong gender. <br /><br />I think labeling pre-puberty persons with any type of gender definitions is wrong. A 10 year old can’t be gay. Or trans, or bi, they are pre-sexual beings and I do not like the sexualization of children. Let the nancy boys be what they want to be, and let the tom-boys be what they want to be. But don’t medicate them to delay puberty. God help these poor kids who are going to wind up being twisted around with chemicals- and when they come out the other side are still going to have to learn the same lesson that every other well adjusted person has learned : You gotta love the skin that you are in. You can’t love another unless you can love yourself. Change the things you can change, but accept the things that you cannot. <br /><br />Jim in St Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028577920540521692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-46011349330201133422017-06-20T13:45:49.194-04:002017-06-20T13:45:49.194-04:00Gender identity politics is a violation of human r...Gender identity politics is a violation of human rights.Methadrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828014989470539375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-29447343994293111062017-06-20T13:15:05.118-04:002017-06-20T13:15:05.118-04:00I don't know why Paglia gets so much attention...I don't know why Paglia gets so much attention.
