However so we can discuss your OP topic, what is it you object to; sex change surgery? Or some parents having some sort of malevolent, reckless influence over their children’s sexual identity? I suspect both but they are very different issues.
You should follow through to watch the entire talk imo.
I am concerned for the wholesale marketing and money making business emerging to manufacture thousands of kids who are deemed candidates for sex change.
I knew of a woman who wanted a girl child SO BAD, that she called her male son's name "Beverly Ann". I think that is too selfish and not right. and I wonder what identity problems such a boy might have being forced to identify himself with the female name.
Someone said that it is very difficult to realize that you may be doing something wrong when money is pouring into your wallet.
My reasons for including this on the Spirituality Forum I will give latter.
I do think that I should be able to listen to a young person's problems with this matter with understanding, and not putting them off with fear. In that aspect professional medical people and laymen should be sensitive.
I am concerned for the kind of arrogance of modern science which assumes because we CAN do something, then we SHOULD do it.
I speak of blocking hormone development and removing genitalia and carving up the bodies of thousands of children "authorities" deem, in their wisdom, like high priests of science, need a sex change.
