Demystifying the Transgender Movement

[Sally]

When did gender become the one thing that we're not suppose to change?
For most people the concept of gender is a very simple thing. When you are born a midwife, doula, doctor or nurse looks at a babies genitals and decides whether the baby is female or male. That magic letter “F” or “M” is put on the babies birth certificate and the gender of the baby is settled. Or is it?
Until very recently the “T” (for Transgender) has been the stepchild of the LGBT movement. It’s only in recent years that Gender Studies has become the hot new major in many colleges, and transgender issues are now making the cover of TIME Magazine and The New York TImes Magazine section.

I attempt to look at it from the whole truth.
If I'm a man identifying as a cat; I'm exactly that, a man identifying as a cat.
If I'm born a biological human male and I identify as a human female; then I'm a biological human male identifying as a human female.
I feel much of this is to do with people trying to determine their own individualism/expression and place in society without fully recognizing what we all have in common - humanity, regardless of gender.

There needs to be a recognition of the whole truth, not just the part that suits...

For example, how can male genitalia be examined by a gynecologist?:
