I truly do feel bad for people born intersex with either both or the wrong bodyparts, it's traumatizing and very unfair they have to go through it, this is also a very small portion of the human population.
However there are those who feel entitled to special rights because think they were born the wrong sex and will live their lives against nature, this is obviously a very serious cry for attention and mental illness and it's being openly celebrated and being pushed to be socially accepted, which I think is oh so very wrong.
let their 10 year old son get a sex change
No kid should even be close to learning learning or knowing about that shit until they at least discover it on their own, even simple things as talking about gays / lesbians when you learn sex ed(or wherever they include that shit) at school can make some kids question themselves even though it is not the case.
Well, according to some weirdo Austrian who lived 100 years ago when little kid puts something in his mouth he's actually imagining a dick in its mouth and is having his first sexual experience.

No way gender studies were conceived in mind of a sane person.
'long debunked gender binary...' / 'biological fact subjected to critique'
wtf?
Guess I didn't get that memo.
The idea of a gender spectrum, set up in opposition to the "colonialist, white supremacist, patriarchal" gender binary, was described and popularized by John Money, pretty much the popular ideological father of it. He was not the first person to come up with the concepts but he was certainly the first to put them into action.
There's been a ton of documentaries on the Reiner twins. One of them had his dick destroyed during a botched circumcision and this insane pedophile jumped in and claimed he could be raised entirely as a woman since gender was nothing but a social construct. One of the things this involved was "sexual roleplaying" in which the "girl" was forced to sexually engage with "her" brother under his watchful guidance, as Money claimed that this was integral for the full transition to take effect. As horrible as that sounds it's not even close to the worst thing this maniac attempted to bring his theory into reality.
Eventually the brothers killed themselves as adults, and there is a wealth of information and interviews on both of them. Yet today this idea of a gender spectrum has been elevated almost to the concept of a scientific theory by certain social "scientists" of the same ilk as Money. It's being pushed on children more and more, as that it the way it was always supposed to be. Can't destroy the gender binary without subverting the "patriarchal" brainwashing of children and substituting it for your own. Apparently children are mature enough to consent to irreversible surgery turning them into neutered parodies of the opposite gender, poorly immitating the hormonal and physical changes puberty would have on them by the use of pharmaceuticals, or just outright blocking the advent of puberty with hormone blockers. Any doctor pushing or facilitating this shit is in direct violation of thehypocratichippocratic oath imo.
For several years, Money reported on Reimer's progress as the "John/Joan case", describing apparently successful female gender development and using this case to support the feasibility of sex reassignment and surgical reconstruction even in non-intersex cases.
Academic sexologist Milton Diamond later reported that Reimer failed to identify as female since the age of 9 to 11,[2] and transitioned to living as a male at age 15.
On July 1, 2002,[18] Brian was found dead from an overdose of antidepressants. On May 4, 2004, after suffering years of severe depression, financial instability, and marital troubles,[19] David committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a sawed-off shotgun at the age of 38. Reimer's parents have stated that Money's methodology was responsible for the deaths of both of their sons.
This was later expanded into a full-length book As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl,[8] in which Colapinto described how—contrary to Money's reports—when living as Brenda, Reimer did not identify as a girl. He was ostracized and bullied by peers, and neither frilly dresses (which he was forced to wear during frigid Winnipeg winters)[12] nor female hormones made him feel female. By the age of 13, Reimer was experiencing suicidal depression, and he told his parents he would take his own life if they made him see John Money again. Finally on March 14, 1980, Reimer's parents told him the truth about his gender reassignment, following advice from Reimer's endocrinologist and psychiatrist. At 14, having been informed of his past by his father, Reimer decided to assume a male gender identity, calling himself David.
Money claimed that media response to the exposé was due to right-wing media bias and "the antifeminist movement".
For the first thirty years after Dr. Money's initial report that the reassignment had been a success, Dr. Money's view of the malleability of gender became the dominant viewpoint among physicians and doctors, reassuring them that sexual reassignment was the correct decision in certain instances, resulting in thousands of sexual reassignments.
crackpots will crackpot but unless they're taken seriously by the scientific community it doesn't amount to much. But the day people start teaching kids about 'M' chromosomes (named after the pioneer himself) that appear only in 10 year olds that were born in the wrong body, I'll explode the school
[...]But I think most of the world can agree that firing a shotgun at your own face is about as honest an answer as you can give. [...]No, you got that one wrong. I'll bet you that there are a lot of people claiming that society didn't accept... 'it'... properly and the outside hate and intolerance forced 'it' to 'its' deed.
It just seems like they want to dress dumb and have dumb haircutsr
[...] It's like they are intentionally trying to turn something simple into something incredibly complex. There just isn't any potential for it, most of that shit is incredibly redundant.Maybe they just wanna feel academic, scientific and all that. Too dumb for certain fields, they create their own little 'academic' bubble and call their shit 'science'.
For the tiny tiny % of people who are born with some deformity (cba to find a nicer word) or are involved in some accident or other, I can absolutely see why people should be less direct than the sign that got taken down.
To me it's the difference between saying to a kid it's ok to have a synthetic limb, and trying to persuade kids to undergo expensive surgery to have a limb removed so they can get a cool looking synthetic limb.

I don't disagree with that. The thing is mutations of the XX and XY chromosomes, actual biological hermaphrodites, have nothing to do with what is today perceived as transgender. Biologically intersex people are a small, small minority within the already vanishingly small minority of "transgenders", who are mostly perfectly healthy and normal in their bodies, if not their minds (trans ppl tend to have a bunch of comorbid mental illnesses).If you do an empirical experiment, you usually kick out those values which are extreme. You simply consider them accidental and assume that those do not matter for the 'bigger truth'.
Building an entire overarching theory and philosophy on gender based on these extreme outliers is retarded. It would be like claiming that bipedalism is a social construct because children are sometimes born with deformities in one leg. That's exactly what Money did though, and these perceptions are now mainstream. Have been for decades.
