Quoting: Rising Son Not sure why you couldn't provide links to these articles, unless it was in the effort to show how intellectual you are. I really don't have the time to look up all of these articles, but what I can see so far is that almost every article is based on hormone imbalances and steroidal/hormonal treatment. If you are intending to state that gender identity disorder is based off of a hormonal imbalance, then why the need to validate this disorder as acceptable? Further, your articles fail to explain the effect that external stimuli such as social or family influences have on hormone levels, neurotransmitter efficacy, and brain development. I will concede that hormones play a part in gender confusion, if you will concede that there is an external stimulus component as well. Either way, they are NOT okay the way they are, they need help, and the subject of this article describes a very damaging response that will only further restrict them from recovery. It is not a disorder and you will see that is being aptly pulled from the DSM 5 as a term. As a poster above pointed out it is very rare and yes..."true transsexuals" are approximately .01% of the overall total population. I will agree that there may actually be an external stimuli component involved with SOME individuals that fall under the "transgender" umbrella term. I personally approach that term as a pronoun in practice. The actual "transgender" community makes up a small percentage of society to begin with and "true transsexuals" (those with the strong potential of having a hormonal imbalance in utero) make up an even smaller percentage of just the "Transgender" Community. I do think there is still a lot of education and study to be put forth in deciding just who these individuals are and providing the appropriate course of treatment for them rather than lumping them into a one size fits all modality that does not truly address the root causality and I think that is starting to occur in the Psychiatric community. I do not think ANY child that wishes to use the "bathroom" of their perceived Gender Identity should be restricted from being allowed that privilege as long as that child is getting adequate counseling and support, and there is the rub, how do we define "adequate counseling and support"? Here are a some of the actual links but you will probably be "to busy" to read any of the documentation presented. [ link to dbm.neuro.uni-jena.de] [ link to faculty.bennington.edu] [ link to imatyfa.org] [ link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] [ link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] [ link to www.umass.edu] [ link to www.shb-info.org] I would much rather hear what your opinion is, moreover WHY you believe what you do - rather than sift through agenda-driven articles, but thank you for posting them - I will read them. What I think the real issue here is that a very small percentage of individuals with apparent biological origins of gender disorder (hormonal imbalance) are being used by a growing percentage of individuals who have chosen to take on this transgender lifestyle, most notably in the form of homosexuality. It is these individuals who have demanded clearly provocative and controversial changes in order to seek the attention they crave, while the true transgendered kids want to hide from everyone. I am also puzzled how you do not consider this a disorder, yet call for its treatment. Regardless what you call it, it is still a problem, and these kids would much rather live a normal life than suffer with this "condition". Forcing them to use a bathroom which will undoubtedly cause even more ridicule and emotional turmoil is not the right answer.
