Here's some new and refreshing information, for a change!
The CDC (remember those crooks?) has announced GUIDANCE ON MEN BREAST-FEEDING BABIES.
Oh my goodness! This is GREAT news!!! This hormonal fluid being produced has little (if any) nutritional value for babies, and it definitely doesn't provide the mother's protective antibodies. It's horrendous that this has been allowed to happen, and I pray that any babies so subjected had someone keeping a close eye on them and supplementing with proper nourishment -- whether genuine breast milk or reputable baby formula.
I would post this breaking news in additional applicable threads, but I've been getting banned a lot lately. Maybe this is worth a thread of its own???
I'm not sure it would stand alone and not just be closed and referred back to this thread. Maybe someone brave will give it a try and find out?
I'm still not up to tending a thread. I can only type so much, and then I've gotta pamper this arm again. It's getting better, but damn it's slow going!!!

Guys in dresses should not be the foundation for policy change.
No but discrimination should.
I totally agree that nobody should be discriminated against. But the universal "acceptance" of this 'thing' is a problem as I see it. Feeding a sick person's delusion just seems unhealthy. I'm not a psychiatrist, so have no evidence to back up my concern, but knowing that person who wished to "transition" wants to become the other sex, but never will, is wrong. If there was a way to do this for real, it would be different. But ultimately, this is a part of the topic for professionals, who have been eerily silent on this.

As part of a psychology major I had a fairly experimental human sexuality class in the early 80's. Even then there was early academic pressure towards woke.
When the professor asserted that a female could be born in the wrong (male) body I didn't overtly disagree--or guffaw--but I did make the observation that if such a thing were true then it would also be possible that the former male could also be lesbian. The professor jumped to agree. The class guffawed.
Two decades later and well past any crazy desire to work in mental health I was working in TV and film production. In this instance I was helping a woke friend shoot a documentary on a young lady who was about to have a mastectomy and various transitioning stuff on her journey to manhood as it were.
Her parents were very supportive ultra-woke University of Florida professors. So I got to know them during the filming. She was intelligent, adorable, a fox as a girl...and confused as hell. Her parents seemed to be pushing for it all in a hurried way which disturbed me.
At some point after the breast removal she was pretty miserable and stopped dating women completely. Her choice of mates were...gay males. It brought me back to my comment in the human sexuality class.
I can't remember the name of the film---it was UoF sponsored partially and played a few festivals. Probably could google if interested. I sincerely hope it all worked out for her.

No but discrimination should.
Who's being discriminated against?
Guys that want to get naked in girls locker rooms?
Good.
Those who have issues with it need to advocate for trans locker rooms. Society moves very slowly with changes.
Why not advocate to also remove lesbians from women's locker rooms too? Where is that outrage?
The discrimination goes way beyond locker rooms and you know it.

the problem with these things is they end up being hijacked and they start to collapse when the real agenda become visible which it always does with so many parts in motion, as it did when the pedos hijacked the gay rights movement in the 70s and 80s..

Ive wondered about that as well.
In fact, I challenge people that believe a woman can be trapped in a man's body (and versa) but don't believe in a soul (many are atheists too). If all the DNA in the body is the same, how can the 'person' be 'trapped'?
Edit: My whole life, I'd rather be friends with males. Maybe I'm a gay man reincarnated into a female body, so it all worked out nicely!

Your brain has the same DNA as your ass.
Sorry, but thats the facts.

Then what is the non-DNA part of the body?
