I had a look at Online Opinion for the first time in ages (it's a wonder it's still around, I think), and noticed that there was a recent, skeptical take on transgenderism, referring in particular to a news story about an Australian school supporting a transgender teen.
The claims in the article were hotly disputed in comments, and to be honest, I haven't tried to check up on who was right or wrong.
But, it did remind me to check in on the 4thWaveNow blog, which I have posted about before. (It's a non-religiously motivated blog for parents skeptical of the way transgender desire/interest is now handled in children and teens - basically arguing that views have swung way, way too far into promoting early intervention to help transition.)
There is a recent post there that is really good - showing how experts who are completely and utterly on one side of the matter (pro-transition) try to dominate discussion and advice as to how parents should act.
I find the arguments of the people who run this blog very convincing, and a correction back to the centre of how to view this matter is already overdue.
your sexuality is dominated by your 'brain' not your body. Funny how it takes ages for your 'brain' to tell you you are a woman in a man's body.
