People are trans or they're not. There's no such thing as someone being trans because they were "encouraged" to be so.
Yes, there is. If teachers, who act as role models for children, encourage and celebrate children who identify as trans, other children will feel left out. It's positive reinforcement of a specific behavior. Every kid wants to feel special.
And that's what your side used to say about gays before most of you realized how silly it was.
Being gay is a a sexual orientation. Being trans and saying that a man can be a woman is a misrepresentation of biology. Two totally different things, but this is what your side does when they realize they can't win the argument they're currently involved in.
You guys keep responding to arguments that we’re not even making. It’s pathetic.
Learn the difference between sex and gender. Get it through your head.
I believe there are men and women. Some men say they're women. Some women say they're men. They might get surgery, cut their hair, have injections of chemicals, but you'll never truly change you're biological nature at birth.
That's my take and I'm sure it's pretty mainstream with the general public.
