Changing sex, irreversibly

the risks of closing off our options

There are difficulties with changing sex, irreversibly

I do know, from close experience, that people can be near to neutral in terms of sex, and not be able to identify strongly with male or female

And to confuse us, there is the factor of masculinity and femininity, which seems only loosely correlated with sex. Maslow touched on this in an article published in The Journal of Social Psychology as far back as 1939 (vol 10, page 18).

When it comes to genes, as well as the more-often arising XX female and XY male, there are XXX females, and XXY and XYY males. And some people are born with parts for both sexes.

Embracing all of this, as I do, I feel certain that whatever form we are born with, our natural state is to be loved and to love.

What I’m reacting to here, though, is a sense I’m getting that some advisors may be nudging children towards changing sex irreversibly, without understanding all of the risks. This is why I feel those who may be inclined to nudge others should have the opportunity to see this https://www.binary.org.au/detrans?

Perhaps other ways to manage an urge to change sex should be explored too, especially if they can help to keep options open
