the correct answer is “You have all the rights that everyone else has- what we will not cave in on though is SPECIAL rights that coddle your mental illness- You WILL use the bathroom of the sex on your birth certificate- You are free to Think you are anything that you like- but you are not free to force everyone else to ignore scientific facts and biology”
Good answer. And I agree with the other FReepers that a 5 year old can only be “transgender” through some negligence on the part of her parent/s.
Yes, to the rest of us, it does appear to be attention seeking behavior (Munchhausen’s) and the need to feel special rather then to feel real and or normal. And it’s amazing the anger some of these folks can show when they are denied the desired recognition they crave from others, because the others aren’t able nor willing to buy into what they perceive as fantasy or mental illness.
“You are free to Think you are anything that you like- but you are not free to force everyone else to ignore scientific facts and biology””
Oh how I wish someone would say that out loud to these people.
