She said that 1 person in a 100 in the UK was likely to be of a forced gender.
Myself I am just a normal girl and feminine in all aspects.
I suppose some men would say they were of both genders just so they could wear a dress these days.
???
here is were their brain resides map
I find this world changes because of few not of the many----not saying the few do not need help, but hey what about mums and dads to sort this out not at school. Kids need to leave school being able to read and do basic maths and feel good about themselves --self esteem great people do not always need certificates but gender issues for all a no no
I just cant for the life of me see how some kid 13 or under will know what out of 25 gender options he/she is.
You are born totally feeling and being a female - everything you know is female - you know you are a female
But when you look in the mirror, there is a strange male body covering you.
That is not a mental issue.
She is actually born inside a male outer shell
A teacher should be able to spot kids with problems of this nature and give help and talk to parents etc.
I can remember when my kids were 12ish they crossed a field full of fungie and when in class they were told about magic mushrooms then 6 kids ended up in hospital because they tried them.
I know this is off beat a little but i know you will get the gist of what i am meaning.
No problem in helping any child but 13 and under is going too far
It must be great to be one of the people who doesn't have to deal with these issues.
Congratulations!
However, just because you do not have these issues, does not mean they do not exist.
i don't have cancer.
Yet cancer exists, and affects other people.
I acknowledge the existence of cancer and its effects on other people, even though it doesn't affect me personally.
So where are these terms used?, Universities to my knowledge, Im sure there are more places, Someone enlighten us please.
But yes
You are born into the wrong gender body.
not really...
Me i just do not agree bringing it to a whole classrooms attention
Playing cowboys and Indians, electric train sets, soldiers... no dolls for me!
Definitely got me confused,
I myself don t figure a lot of people especially younger people know what they want or are.
Scotty, I didnt notice, and as far as Im concerned if its not a personal attack say what you like, dont worry about it.
Free, It's actually true, and you are right about the parents.
1to1, It's constantly getting weirder these days, I do wonder if these new gender identifications would mean people in the UK would get higher social payouts.
