    I've never seen people labeled SJWs advocating to deny men and women who are transgender legal rights or attempt to deny them institutional access based on that status. Methinks the people who are making it worse for those people are social conservative.

    Both would be. I wasnt sayign they where advocating against it, its rather they do silly things sometimes and have at least somewhat trivilized the issue which makes it "easier" to oppose. Its kind of bad to say you are a Female as a male and not be suffering from gender something disorder. I have kind of stopped looking into this area though because its depressing. :p


    [edit] Should not have scanned this post, in response to psot holder, get them to cotnact the GP about it. Most modern places should have good support groups and treatment options for a lot of mental health issues. (and if they dont, charity it up, because if you are not in the U.K there should be a equal to Mind in your country)

    I’m actually gay and I am trying to become a drag queen. I also don’t try and put labels on myself that I don’t need. I think the main problem is how society literally labels items sold in stores for one gender and making it seem like a person of the other gender can’t enjoy it too because of the gender association the item has whether it’s on the label or its color. Some people don’t really like using gendered terms as they like to think of themselves as just being a person. The worst offender in my own opinion of something not being seen as gender neutral is sexual assault and domestic abuse. Men are just as likely to be in an abusive relationship but are often too ashamed of admitting it because society has made it appear as if that sort of thing happens only to women through literature and other media. And if they do tell someone then that makes them less of a man somehow.

    As a drag queen, I only want to perform just to have some fun and make others feel happy and to also make some extra cash. Drag is nothing more than a form of acting and I’ve actually had one person refuse to talk to me again jus5 because it interests me. I don’t dress as a woman 8n my everyday life. I don’t want to be a woman. And I memorized at least twenty songs that I can confidently lip sync to while moving and throwing hand fans into the air all at the same time while wearing heels without tripping and falling off the stage. Plus I plan on incorporating my martial arts skills into my acts while in tight clothing, a head piece, heavy clip on earrings, and heels to make myself stand out among the other local drag queens.

    In short gender identity isn’t always so black and white and there are a few things that blur the line of gender itself.

    Nothing to add other than there is an awesome drag DJ night at a gay bar round the corner from mine, so if you like cheesy 80's pop and happen to be around Bristol way, gimme a PM! :D

    I’m in the US but interestingly enough my drag style is 80s pop superstar.

    I thought I had...might be way off....I wonder if there would be less people unhappy with, or wanting to transition away from, their current gender if society (take that was narrow or wide as you feel) was much more accepting of difference and different "ways" of being a "man" or a "woman"?
    So in some ways the most ardent "there are only 2 genders, boys will be boys, boys and girls are just different" types of people are contributing to the problem because they also create an environment that is not sympathetic to diverse gender identities. So maybe people feel more forced to be one thing or the other? So when they don't feel "one thing" that only leaves that they must be the "other"?
    I dunno.

    I think the cases would still be any very small number.

    I think that on the whole there are things we absolutely should be doing, like teaching boys it's alright to be hurt or to cry if they need to, and teaching girls that anything a boy can do they are equally entitled to try.

    The problem exists (like most things) when it's taken to the extreme.

    In the next few years the popular ideas of the left such as allowing kids to play with any toy they like will correlate with an increase in the extreme cases i.e "My CIS boy today feels like a fairy princess so the school should absolutely let him go to classes dressed up with wings. It doesn't matter if he's 17".

    Extremism in any form is always shouted down by the general population. Common sense will prevail (hopefully).

    I had to laugh when a church spokesman (person?) was on Radio 4 this morning talking about some sort of church release about young people wearing different clothes and such. He was called Nigel Genders.
