I tend to think that families, and children are far more resilient than you seem to think.

Well let's put it this way then, peter. We know that in the current system that transgender youth are at a high risk of suicide and various forms of assault. Now that may be a case of correlation and not causation, but I'm highly skeptical of that. Either way though, we know that status quo isn't working. Is there not some sort of obligation on us as a society to try and protect those who are at risk?

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.

Oh geeze, this crap again. It's not totalitarian to take certain opinions more seriously than others when their supporting arguments merit it.
