I'm very happy for people to be exactly what they want to be.........."people" meaning adults!

However, I resent the resources demanded by the LGBT community for counselling and reconstructive surgery whilst others are left waiting for appointments for a very very long time. I also resent resources being demanded for "gender neutral" facilities, including passports, other legal documents and toilet/changing room facilities. Personally, I don't want to share a changing room with someone who looks like a man but has long hair, hormonal breasts, make-up etc but I don't want my taxes being spent on special toilet/changing room facilities.
Let's prioritise NHS procedures for life saving/enhancing surgeries, before gender changing surgeries. Let's also say that if a person has a penis, that person uses the mens facilities!
I also believe the gender issue should not be discussed or debated in schools............kids need to develop naturally without debates influencing their decisions.

I agree adults should be allowed to make their choice, but I do think that registering a new born baby as gender neutral is not right. Apart from the quite rare but obvious cases where babies are born with abnormal genitalia, most are born either male or female and should be allowed their childhood as such.

The whole world has gone mad.

I might have missed it but is anyone suggesting that new born babies should be registered as gender neutral?

There was a spot on the beeb news the other day about children born without their genitals being discernibly developed, which led to decisions being made by medics as to their gender. A highlighted case (obviously) described a baby where the decision was made to bring up the child as a girl but by teenage years, "he" decided he was a boy and felt happier as a bloke............but the decisions by medics as a child resulted in removal of male sex organs!!

So............in those cases wouldn't it be better to leave whatever the child is born with to develop and leave it to the parents to decide as to which sex to bring their child up?

I wonder whether a more sensible decision might be based on the chromosomes of the affected child.

XX = female
XY = male

I think this could be determined by tissue samples.
