"What's stupid...stupid...STOOPID is a guy, standing naked in front of a doctor with his penis hanging there and insisting the doctor address HIM as Ma'am and insisting on being given a pap smear."
This happened?
Can you get anymore ridiculous?

So, if I understand this as asserted by the posts on this thread:
Some people, for whatever reason, identify as the opposite gender. We should humor them . . .

NO. We accept that the brain tells you your gender. Even if the packaging doesn't match.
We accept it because its real.
We accept what specialists in the field and transgenders themselves know, and stop closing minds to something because its different.

I think this is getting ridiculous too. Gender is defined as one of two groups, designated male and female, based on reproductive organs and their function.

No. What's wrong is the amount of intolerance displayed in this thread.

When we get people that can be biologically born between human and cat like we can get people that are born biologically between male and female, we can start indulging furries.

White woman 'identifies' as black. Does she know what color her skin is?

And that has exactly what to do with Gender Dysphoria?

Exchanging one dysphoria for another. If a person can self identify to a different gender why not self identify to a different color?

Some people, for whatever reason, identify as the opposite gender. We should humor them and go along with it in regards to how we speak to them, the titles we give them, which restrooms we let them use, etc. But in reality we should ignore the fact that they claim to be one gender when in reality they are the other, and as in the case of medical professionals, treat them as the gender they actually are, while humoring and supporting the imagined gender identity they have assumed for whatever reason...because it would be insensitive to do otherwise. Even though letting men in dresses go in the little girls room may be insensitive to the little girls, who I guess should just get over it and not develop some kind of complex or be traumatized by it because that simply isn't productive for the agenda?
And this is considered healthy respectful behavior? In what capacity of mental health is it considered positive or healthy to enable and humor a fantasy based life over reality? At what point does it become destructive?
I think it would much more helpful to give them a mirror and a medical book complete with pop up pictures, leave them alone for a while, and let them sort it out for themselves.
