I'm not a Yes or No person.

I'm a moderate and tend to look at things from several perspectives.

All that I will say is:

The current trans trend seems to be an unnecessary human social development.

But would it occur if it wasn't necessary?

To answer that question truthfully, would be to know the meaning of everything.

Assuming that there is a meaning to everything.

If not then nothing matters anyway.

So if kids want to wear tin hats and call themselves spanner brain, then they might as well do so.

Should therapy be tried rigorously before accepting gender transitioning?

That doesn't make sense you're not a yes or no person.

There are some things that require a negative or positive answer and anything else would be irrelevant.

I understand some questions can't be answered in that way even if how the question is formed in a yes or no inquiry.

With testing, there are positive and negative results. Did you test positive for such and such?

You say you have such and such in your blood or system. That still isn't telling me did you test positive for it .

The fact is , such and such is in your system but the true answer is, no you tested negative.

I ask do you have a receipt for your purchase, you say the person rung me up and you paid cash .

I still don't know if you have a receipt.

So you'll have to be a yes and no person.

Maybe just for the simple common things and not so much for anything else.

I don’t think so, unless the trans person wants to get gender affirming care. 

I had a second cousin once who’s dad was a trans man. One summer she decide that she wanted to be trans and changed her name to griffin. About a few months later, she decided to change back.

There’s no harm done in experimenting, and if the kid realizes that they made mistake, they can just change back.

If they want to get a surgery to change their sex, then that’s a much bigger commitment, so I think parental approval should be required for that, and at least a 13 age limit. If the parents want to do therapy before making the decision, that’s fine, but I don’t think it will really do anything. The only way to tell if you are really trans or not is to just try it and see how it feels.

I have to agree with ILikePie5 on this one. Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. So I would say no surgery until 30 years old.

People that have completed transgender de-conversion, would you have recommended them to receive thorough therapy initially in lieu of reverting back to their cisgender identity status?

If they want to they can. I don't think most people will need it, but maybe if they were a kid and got excessively bullied or something then it might be beneficial.

You took the first line of my post, and went off at a tangent, to make the somewhat unrelated point that certain issues can indeed be unequivocally resolved with a yes or no answer.

And ignored everything else relative to an issue that you raised, wherein there is no definitive answer.

For sure, if one is opinionated then one might unquestioningly respond negatively or positively.

Whereas relative to the issue, I am aware that there is no definitive explanation available. Therefore all arguments are valid, and  YES or NO are not feasible options.


So if you desperately require a YES or NO response, I would suggest that the best question to ask relative to "trans", is:

Q. Do you fully understand everything about current transsexualism trends?

A. No.


Do you Mall?

I should be allowed to have the starship Enterprise, but there is no starship Enterprise and there is no way to change your gender.

The question is what level of make believe is unhealthy and whether parents have a responsibility to correct delusions (which is not fantasy, fantasy is a falsehood the person knows is false).

The worst part about being born a Boy. 
And wanting to be identify as a girl.
Isssssss. 
Your parents naming you Russell.

I suspect Trans kids dont like there given name. 

Imagine a boy that is transitioning to a girl keeping the name Robert. 

Soooooooo not only are they born the so called  "wrong gender" 
They also where given the wrong name. 
I mean . 
They cant fucken win right ? 

Ya start to think that The parents  stuffed up big time. 

Imagine a parent choosing a name for a kid. 

Before parents name there kids its like they are taking there sex / gender into consideration. 

Ask someone what a nice name for a child is , and they'll reply with. 
Well if its a boy they will name him TROY. 
If its a girl its NATASHA.   

So Names must have like a ring of gender to them or something right .

Otherwise Daisy wouldn't bother changing her name to Gazza
But NO. 
They alllllllllllll change there names. 

How many hot chicks have you meet named PATRICK.   
Orrrrrr
How many blokes do you know named ELIZABETH.  

Poor little things.

The level of when it's unhealthy is key. Otherwise healthy habits are encouraged by responsible best welfare caring legal guardians .
