Though what does "transgender" mean? Are those people for whom sexuality is difficult to determine because of physical traits from birth....or are those people who have surgically altered their body to blur that line.....or does it include BOTH? If you are born a man, and want to become a woman, that's different than being born a man, but being told that you are NOT a man, or that your gender is "unknown". Maybe it's a subtle difference, but I think it matters. I can't for the life of me see what the harm is in telling my son that he is a man, and my daughter that she is a woman.....and then 20 years from now if they tell me they want to change that fact....that will be an entirely different discussion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:338190 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
