So I have now become a victim of the LGBT agenda

[World's End Stella]

Well, victim might be overstating it slightly. To the extent that my sister is bothered by her daughter's actions I suppose it could be seen to have an impact on me as I rather care for her.

Her daughter, who has been openly gay for some time, has just decided that she is a he, has changed her gender to male on Facebook and is now called James.

Her choice, of course, but it struck me that 20 years ago she would have just happily lived her life out as a gay woman. Her mother, father, grandparents, friends all accepted some time ago that she was gay, so why the need to take another step? Is it possible, just possible, that by going over the top on trans rights we've actually reached a situation where people are making changes that they might not otherwise consider? Changes that aren't really required at all and that cause angst and discomfort and inconveniences both family members and the public at large, just because they can?

Alright Curly? Still insane always and mostly drunk?

Um, yeah, it does have something to do with me. I can imagine my sister, for whom I care a great deal, might be quite bothered about it. As I pointed out in the opening paragraph.

All good old fellow.
Oh and if he/she is over 18 then it's nothing to do with your sister either
Personally I care not one jot where a chap puts his Willy Wonka or indeed if he cuts it off or has one sown on.Surely it's all about the childs happiness?

Well, yes, but the question is whether or not she (he) needs to do this to be happy, or is she (he) doing it because of the reasons Burney nicely summarises in the post above? Is it just attention seeking, power seeking, narcissistic behavior that is encouraged by the current obsession (for no particularly good reason that I can see) with trans rights?

Knowing the girl (boy) herself, it would surprise no one if it was the latter. She lives in Vancouver, the politically correct capital of the most politically correct country in the world. There is zero question in my mind that this played into it.

I think if I was going to switch over from being a chick to a bloke I would go for a more exciting name than James.

Something like Clint or Snake

Children cutting off / sewing on genitalia on a whim is probably not something that should be encouraged, in the same way that experimenting with setting the house on fire should not be encouraged even if playing with matches makes them happy.

I think there has been an instance when research into the long-term effect of sex-change operations on the young was suppressed by a university, in case the results went 'against the paradigm'.

Oh I quite agree on the children aspect but once they are over 18 who actually gives a fúck?

I’m sick of it all. Metoo, transgender, gender fluid, vegetarians. They can all get ****ed.
