No one wants to be known or mistaken for something or someone that they are not. I remember every adult person of significance in my life encouraging me to grow up and become the best man that I can be. No one ever suggested to me nor anyone boy that I’ve ever known to grow up and be the best woman that you can be.
I am amazed at all of the saints who have no issue with transgender children. Parents are encouraging their children to become something or someone they are not …by allowing them and encouraging them to change their sex
Are there exceptions? Sure there are. There are birth defects that create some choice for only a fraction of a few. If you want some kind of basic guideline for determining a persons sex. Just go with what’s checked on the birth certificate. Let our little girls grow up to be grown women. And please let our little boys grow up to be grown men.
