Al Bundy Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 27 minutes ago, Mister M said: They may need attention, and questioning their gender may be a way of getting it. I'm not going to dismiss that because anyone who goes to the doctor needs attention. Not everyone who questions their gender identity does so as a proxy for something else - I think many will be absolutely genuine. In my previous job I worked with a couple of young people who were in the early process of transitioning. In both their cases I had absolutely no sense that they were doing it for attention for any other reason. The process of change involves lots of singling out of people who feel different, but like most teenagers, don't want to be different to anyone else. I know that on here, on another thread ages ago, some were saying that it was all done in a 'look at me' way. Definitely not the people I worked with, and like I say, most teenagers that I know don't want to be singled out and to be made to feel different to everyone else. They just wanted to fit in. Good post. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally ridiculous in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have used a white, single mum called Shaz... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
