[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 302809"] Well let me rephrase what I said, because I don't think I said it well. I don't think that what THEY think is make believe. I am 100% convinced that they are absolutely genuine that they feel they are the other gender. What is make believe is that you can't just say you are a certain gender and then voila you are. I'm also not saying if you were born a male and feel female and you grow your hair long and dress like a female that you are playing make believe. The medical community actually even recommends that's how you work through this - you assume the gender that you feel. What is make believe is doing all of the above and then actually stating that you indeed are the other gender. That is scientifically and biologically false. For example, Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn or however you spell it) is 100% definitively not a female and should not be in female dressing rooms, bathrooms, or locker rooms. (My opinion.) That doesn't mean Caitlyn shouldn't dress like a woman, be treated respectfully, and understood. But Bruce/Caitlyn's true and real identity is a transgender person. Born a male, identifies with female. Its that simple. Throughout our history we haven't needed laws because everyone just lived their own lives and away we went. But when you start having folks wanting to codify into laws scientific impossibilities and an endorsement of certain behaviors (I want to be careful here, I am referring to a behavior of Jenner going into a female area, not the identifying or dressing behavior), that's where you're going to get pushback. There are numerous studies, and here is one of a 30 year period from Sweden, that shows more support for the danger of this type of approach: [URL]http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885[/URL] To me, its just more proof of how harmful all this is on the inside for transgender people.
