The transitioning times. Today we discuss transitioning biological sex from one to the other. Naturally, I am discussing the 99.8% or so of human beings. The issue in our discussion is if it is morally appropriate to transition with drugs and surgeries children. I will argue in what follows that it is not. I do this because children don't know who they really; this applies to people already transitioned, whatever their retroactive memories may tell them they knew. Any cognitive psychologist/cognitive neurologist will tell you we do rewrite our memories to accommodate our current situation.
If there is a long-term stability in a child's beliefs about their true nature that extends to adulthood then I have no objection. But that stability must be carefully, cautiously established. Not through the power of authorities making suggestions to 12 or 16 year olds. We shall see if my view remains stable on this issue. Enjoy!
Cheers~
