I suppose those things are very difficult to argue against, so now we've moved on to the efficacy of surgery to prove a point.
What a patently absurd conversation.
Mirrors this one quite evidently:

Yeah, maybe. I tend to see it is an alarming trend, not towards recognizing, and validating the experiences of transgendered children, but rather the ham-handed, edu-speak drive to do something that may or may not be effective.
I tend to think that families, and children are far more resilient than you seem to think.
What irks me, and strikes me as actually blatantly totalitarian, is this assumption that we all have to have the same opinion. You, and others, should be ashamed of yourselves for not taking the views of others as seriously as your own.
