My point is that children believe what they are told, and if they are told that they may not be the gender biology says they are, that could lead to the child deciding he or she isn't in the right body, especially if the child has been traumatized in some way. Children are not born racists, the people around them teach them to believe they are superior. Children are knowledge sponges and not everything they absorb is good for their long term interests.
BOLDED...there is an error in your thinking.....the child isn't TOLD,THEY KNOW....the parents R usually

I think you're confusing this with children who are attracted to the same sex. That's a whole lot different than believing you are in the wrong body. If you don't think the current environment of "you can be whatever gender you want" influences young minds and could actually change a child's way of thinking, then there isn't much point in continuing this debate. In a controlled environment I could have taught my children to believe almost anything.Rick wrote:

Perhaps you can help me, a male (XY chromosomes) wants to have carnal knowledge of a female (XX chromosomes), that describes his sexual identity and his gender identity, do you agree? If not, why not?

If you disagree with my assessment, what is your opinion?
I can contact the individual in the recording and have a dialogue, but I would rather engage with you.
