Unless they have physically transitioned I don't think re-establishing gender or sexuality is very punishing, and iirc you take a very long process to make physical changed and can't be done if you're under 18
More power to them in the short term sure. They'll hit an age and realise they messed up somewhere though, and I don't think these are the sorts of problems people should be contributing to.
Homosexuality probably comes from both social or biological factors. You will however, Sirius, find that most gay people try really hard to fit in and have girlfriends because they want to be normal, but in the end they just accept who they are. Other cases, especially on this website, people just want to be gay because that's the way things are heading for the younger online generation now.
I mean I think both what you're saying and what I'm saying are contributing factors, but it's different for every person. If they feel better identifying as that then w/e more power to them
I think this is true, but also the sole fact that transgender is quite a new "concept" thats just now been accepted as something else than mental illness
If you couldn't be genetically (or culturally, but I think it's inherent AT LEAST in the extreme cases) predisposed to homosexuality then there's no way people would choose to be that way when it wasn't considered acceptable

homosexuality is not genetic in the slightest. alan turing is another good example in history of homosexuality being conditioned. i could go on forever.

what's his name, mishima, wrote confessions of a mask basically on how his homosexuality was a result of conditioning rather than genetics or whatever. and so on, and so on, and so on.
and homosexuality is OBVIOUSLY genetic, I don't care what game of thrones says.
Sure, sexuality isn't black and white, and the whole tumblr community bullsh!t over-labels it, and it can be influenced by external factors, but homosexuality is Obviously A Thing.
Nah it's bollocks Escurai. People weren't particularly hostile, only the very acute minority. I honestly think people just have s more readily available, widespread accepted excuse for their misery. People are becoming increasingly less interested in perseverance and perhaps this ties in to the grass is greener lifestyle they live.

pedo? yes, but dude? transexuality is something I find hard to relate to because I'm not transexual but it clearly exists regardless of what causes it

game of thrones also doesn't believe homosexuality is inherent, nor does pretty much the entirety of literature. robert baratheon's gay brother was as such for the super powerful big brother he had, who he would depend too much upon. the other dude he was fcking was gay for his sister's influence, and all that roses stuff, and whatever - programming. it's just newfangled bullsht says otherwise pretty much, and there's a sale in it too, contrary to religious teachings. and it's the same with transexuals, and just whatever. it's all fetishisation, will to power or at least compensation.
It's more like people were much more hostile about different genders and sexuality, and now non binary and all that jazz has recieved media coverage and some people aren't as judgmental, a lot more people are going public with it. You'll here many people who are either transgender or no gender or whatever floats their boat say that for a long time they didn't know what they were but they just didnt feel right etc.
