I am trans…I have an XXY chromosonal difference, I at 4 years old…no matter 9 years old, I knew there was something fundamentally wrong with how I ‘was’ and how others treated me.
Please try to understand that this isn’t sexual, it is about gender, we are under the wider ‘umbrella’ of LGBT as when have similar issues, however this isn’t about sex, who I care to sleep with or same sex relationships, as to all intent and purpose I am ‘straight’. If you saw me on the street, bought a coffee with me, sat and talked to me You would know nothing of my ‘past’.
It was a terrible struggle to come to terms with just how I was, and I tried to be ‘normal’ I had therapy to try and remain ‘normal’ however this is something I was born ‘with’. My Mother will also tell you the same thing, this isn’t conditioning, it isn’t me ‘copying’ another gay or queer person. I was like this at 4 years old.
To have allowed me to express myself from an early age would have included me dressing as a girl, not for ‘fun’, but because in my head…I wasn’t a boy, and was desperately unhappy having to ‘be’ one.
I hope in the future people will be smart enough to realise that throughout nature there are instances of ‘Queer’ behaviour everywhere…ie frogs…not enough females…the males change sex.

I am all for protecting the ‘moral’ fabric of society, and I understand your concerns regarding the ‘recruitment’ of ‘Queer’ behaviour, however, I have ‘normal’ parents, and I have a ‘normal’ sister, so where did my ‘trans’ come from? I was born with it. So by that rationale, am I not to exist? Are you saying that God, whom I believe in made a mistake? Nature is infallible, ergo…I have to be vaild, I have a right to exist, and whether or not society is smart enough to dismiss this gender binary, which is a form of control, which says that as a man it is wrong for you to be sensitive and emotional, empathetic and understanding of anothers needs, instead to be a warrior? to be a murderer? to react to a situation with violence rather than compassion and charity?

This is not a black and white subject and neither is gender.

This whole gender ‘thing’ will become more understood as we go along, however, please do not dismiss my right or a childs right to express themselves as they see fit, Remember…From the mouth of infants and nursing babes Thou hast established strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

To allow a child to tell the truth about how they feel…and protect them against those that would seek to dismiss the new essence of life that is at once truthful and pure, would be foolish in the extreme?

Does the world you live in revolve around a dress code? A symbol of what?

What on earth does a NINE year old child know? “Exploring her gender?” She is still a CHILD! I hope her parents are seeking professional help for that poor child. With the pro-homosexual TV shows, gay “pride” parades, blurring of gender lines and the never-ending assault on the minds of our children by special interest groups, especially those who want to remove what is left of our parental rights, little wonder that our kids are screwed up more today than they have ever been. Even the police in the UK are now under pressure to accept “transgender” recruits. One case involves a male Captain from our esteemed Parachute Regiment who served his country with distinction for 20 years. And then what happens? he has a mental lapse, decides that he wants to be a woman and a “transgendered” police officer to boot. Unfortunately, they took him. What a joke. Thank God I don’t live there anymore.

The real tragedy is, political correctness and social engineering have sought to undermine the moral fabric of our society and turn old fashioned morality and common sense into ogres of “backward” thinking that should be banished. We are too afraid to view “transgendered” people for what they really are; individuals who are clearly mentally ill and need psychiatric care, not have their hormones buggered up and their genitalia removed(or added). I for one will continue to fight the good fight against you and your misguided ilk.
