[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 302805, member: 265"] Well … there's a reason that medical terms change and it usually, as in this case, has bupkas to do with political pressure and a lot to do with research results. Like I said before, the factors that lead to a transgender identity are pretty complicated and there are (probably) multiple paths to the realization. I personally know two such people, one who had full sexual reassignment surgery and one who did not. Neither of them have any "identity crisis" at all. Iow, I think your major premise is simply wrong. There's nothing "make believe" about their identity. The only crisis about their sexuality transgender people face is caused by those who - like [I]some[/I] people we know - are bound and determined to not face the facts about their gender. It is true that many transgender kids are driven to attempting suicide. However, that's not because they are transgendered but because they are driven to it by people who will not accept their identity and who, in some instances, pass silly laws to try to enforce their prejudices. Because that's what they are, you know. [/QUOTE]
