"Can I be a cocker spaniel then ?"

Of course.

I don't think that anyone will be taught that "boys can get periods" without adding the necessary and rather obvious clarification that this only applies to transgender boys, ie, those who were born with a functioning uterus.

I'm getting sick of this old pony, there are 2 sexes, end of. All this gender dis(insert what ever BS word you like|) is non existent. There have always been effeminate men and butch women. Why must we create names and syndromes for them? Madness!

[spathiphyllum]

You realise TTT that the term Instersex is there for a reason, because people can not fit typical definitions for male or female bodies? This is widely recognised

[ToraToraTora]

"boys can get periods" - true, "transgender boys" are girls.

[ToraToraTora]

"people can not fit typical definitions for male or female bodies? This is widely recognised " - by who?

[jim360]

Have you considered reading about the history of transgender people, and their acceptance and prevalence in other cultures, TTT?

Please do. You might learn something.

Absolutely correct.

[SparklyKid]

It seems "intersex" people are genetic freaks, ie, birth defect.

[jim360]

It's absolutely not. But don't let that stop you blindly asserting something.

[spathiphyllum]

Just because SK says something is correct, doesn't mean that it is.

SK, that would be wrong to say. It's know genetics have nout to do with gender, sex or identity.

[spathiphyllum]

known that *

I do however think it could be classed as a 'mental disorder'. The words used at 14:35 are utterly disgraceful :')

[ToraToraTora]

Look I don't give a rats April what certain types get up to privately but they should not be influencing children.

[spathiphyllum]

but then is it a mental disorder, or a physical one? Is the mind wrong or the body?

Neither.. just let people be who they are.

Does a woman want to be a man because she would like to impregnate a woman, be the father of the child? or because society norms that she prefers are associated with being a man?

This is the issue with things being gender specific or applying to a certain gender. People are just people, regardless if they like pink or blue, fairies or cars.

[SparklyKid]

Hardly a mental condition, it seems there are bodily things.

[spathiphyllum]

What if a child feels the same way these people id when they were young? IE, alone, silenced, even maybe bullied?

Speaking out may help these children you think they're "influencing" actually develop and understand. No one could 'influence' me to be a woman. Do think about it.
