I know a transgender woman who was born with ambiguous genitalia, but had surgery done on her to make her appear male. She knew she was different, but didn't find out that she had her reproductive organs removed until later in life and had tests done her that indicated she was intersex. <br /><br />Do you remember going through puberty? It is no picnic for all of us who go through it. It is particularly traumatic for transgender kids, to get the body you hate. No surgery is done on kids in South Dakota, why people keep saying that? IT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Puberty blockers just put puberty on pause so kids have more time to figure stuff out with their family. <br /><br /><br /><br />Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320093753319104067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371904020164697258.post-4468314617592427242020-01-31T23:46:29.916-06:002020-01-31T23:46:29.916-06:00Larry, its hardly an equivalent to take a newborn ...Larry, its hardly an equivalent to take a newborn with genitalia that did not fully form with respect to one of the 2 sexes and with parental consent attempt to assign it to the one of those 2 sexes that, to medical knowledge best fits. Versus taking a preteen child that has fully functioning genitalia and is clearly one biological gender, and then because of body dysmorphia subject that child to surgery and hormones that will physically never function quite like the target gender with a result of no fewer suicides among those with gender dysphoria that in those that never have the surgery. This is not an identity problem, the suffering they deal with doesn't make it one.<br />Roger Beranekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816186933620482440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371904020164697258.post-64809362358526058872020-01-26T14:08:04.796-06:002020-01-26T14:08:04.796-06:00The unconstitutional regulation of the L.G.B.T.Q. ...The unconstitutional regulation of the L.G.B.T.Q. community has never been about preventing harm to anyone, but rather to eradicate and erase L.G.B.T.Q. people from the frozen soil of South Dakota ... and that's been Fred Deutsch's motive since moving to Watertown.Porter Lansinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462946359586390472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371904020164697258.post-48714655705322458302020-01-26T14:01:41.461-06:002020-01-26T14:01:41.461-06:00I'd have to agree with my good friend Lar to s...I'd have to agree with my good friend Lar to some degree but would advise those dealing with gender issues and their families to leave S. Dakota. They suffer on multiple levels while annually being used as a distraction from the real issues in the state. Minnesota for example would be a healthier environment to thrive, prosper and contribute to their thriving economy and state.
