normal?

  The American Psychiatrist Association has determined that gender affirming care is a medical necessity. So that means it is a medical condition. A condition that requires treatment in some fashion. The reality is it is a mental condition. That's why the psychiatrist. If I get really angry, lose control of my emotions, and harm someone I can plead temporary insanity, not a temporary medical condition.  

 Why have the professionals decided the treatment for a medical condition is to affirm that condition? That is to say, the treatment is to simply go along with the delusional thinking. And I'm no expert but I know this much, if you are a male thinking you are a female trapped in a male body, that's delusional! You are a male! That's what you are. What your sexual preferences may be, has nothing to do with that simple fact of biology. I don't care how much you enjoy wearing makeup, high heels or whatever, you are still a male. The medical treatment for that should be to get you to understand that. It shouldn't be to reenforce that delusion! 

 There is a sharp rise in children reporting themselves as transgender. Wonder why that could be? It wouldn't have anything to do with attracting attention to themselves, would it? No, I'm certain that isn't the case. Strange I remember wearing certain styles of clothing, listening to certain types of music, driving certain cars and all of that to attract attention. We called it being cool. Now the cool thing is to be as different as possible. You don't need a degree to figure that stuff out. Kids just naturally gravitate toward that kind of stuff, to be cool. I remember when a lot of kids wanted to be hippies. Far out man, drugs, sex and rock and roll. Free love, communes, and everyone doing their own thing, as long as it was the cool thing. Don't be square.

 Look, the bottom line isn't hard to understand. It you have a condition that requires medical intervention that means that condition is harmful to you. With this notion of transgenderism, it is actually a mental condition, and the same thing applies, it is harmful to you and requires intervention. Enabling the delusion isn't treating anything. The only thing happening here is normalizing abnormal behaviors. Just because everyone is doing it, doesn't make it right. 

 You know it is possible to recognize and identify abnormal behavior without condemnation. It is what it is and that's my point. Simply call it what it is! If a guy is sexually attracted to another guy, that's queer. That's what it is. And yes, that has been happening forever but that doesn't change a thing, it is still queer, odd, abnormal, deviant and an aberration. It isn't normal or expected behavior. Occurs less than 3% of the time in the human population. If I'm a betting man, I'm betting you are heterosexual. 

 I'm not hating anyone. What I am saying is as long as we keep "affirming" this and the treatment is to enable the behaviors, it will continue to grow. Yes, it can be uncomfortable this conforming to societal expectations. The thing is, it is necessary to a functioning society. We have laws for the same reason, to establish what are acceptable behaviors. Without laws there is chaos. We don't allow people to just walk around naked. If you feel uncomfortable wearing clothes that doesn't mean the society should change to suit you. If you are a male at birth, you will be a male when you die, regardless of any medical or mental intervention. And that is just a simple fact.

 There is a difference between public and private. What you are doing in the closet is none of my business, unless I'm in that closet! Keep it there. You are doing whatever out of sight for a simple reason, you know that others are not going to like that. It's been said that integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking. I agree with that. If you feel like what you're doing should be done when no one is looking, what is that saying? It should be telling you that whatever it is you are doing is somehow wrong. At the very least it should be a clue that society in general will not find that behavior acceptable. The solution isn't to get society to accept that behavior! Seek help to change the behavior or keep it out of sight, that's pretty much your choices.
