re: A pal of mine said his son wants to be a girl

His son is 25. There's not much he can do. He does need to understand the chances of him burying his son due to suicide will increase exponentially if the son gets a sex change.

Even indentifying as a gender other than the one assigned at birth leads to increased suicide rates of individuals in that category. Of course this can be interpreted as mental illness due to gender issues but it does not happen in a vacuum...it happens in a society where people with those issues are marginalized and inundated with information telling them there is something very very wrong with them. Remove the latter from their lives and who knows if they commit suicide at a higher rate than the general population? No one knows but we know for certain with those issues they do indeed kill themselves far more often. Logic would dictate that we curb that shite and see what happens...of course that would mean that people would be required to mind their own fricking business and that aint happening...
