Should gender changes be allowed ?

It's nither social or genetic, it is more likly to be enviromental or something along those lines that causes it. Though kids will sometimes go through a phase of wanting to dress like the opposite gender, kids are curious, doesn't last for too long from what I read a while ago.

You bring up stereotypical role, but it isn't anything to do with that either, most little kids will play with anything you give them to play with, or I did anyway. I remember haveing two carboard boxs, I set them up outside and called it my office, I had a pen and a book and such, prettending to work. I had a plastic cooker with plastic food too once, as well as a set of cars, I was happy with any toy.

Do you know though, I'm probably going to kick myself for saying this, it's the first time I've probably posted it too. You say you've never felt uncomfortable with being a girl, well I say I've felt uncomfortable being a boy, many of times, might come as a shock to you, but a lot of the time I'm confused with who I really am, at one point when I was 14 I thought I was homosexaul, but I wasn't attacted to other guys, I'm still not.

Yet, being a guy still seems a little weird to me, can't really explain what I mean. I've gone through several years just thinking it's a phase, but it always boils down to the samething each morning, I look in the mirror in my room, I don't see myself looking back, but I know it's me.

I've read the article you posted BBQ, and I still do not understand why people wish to change to a different sex. I know that they are psychologically uncomfortable, but if we use science in this it does not make sense.

When they were discussing transgenderism in my class a few days ago, they used an example of a young boy putting on dresses and lipstick and feeling comfortable in them. This caused him to feel as if he was the wrong gender. So is this more of a social problem or is this genetic?

It does not make sense to me that someone would wish to change their gender simply because they feel more comfortable with a particular gender's "stereotypical" role. For instance, the stereotypical belief is that girls play with barbie dolls as opposed to toy cars. I played with toy cars and army men, and I never once felt uncomfortable with being a girl. So what makes other people's genetic formation different ? What causes this psychological change?

I understand that everyone is different, but if we look at it in a scientific point of view; how does someone born with estrogen or testoroine suddenly decide they are the wrong gender? I'm open minded about the subject. If there was a clear-cut reason why they desire to change to the opposite gender, then I would likely be for it. Conversely, there are various opinions on the subject, which contributes to me opposing it.

That's the same as saying "Why are people depressed sometimes and sometimes not? Does that mean they are all bipolar?" It all depends on how someone feels and its their decision if that's what they want, unlike being depressed where by its more of a burden...

Anyway, people might have a certain strong characteristic that they feel is unable to be shown in their current gender and so they have a sex change because they believe its more fitting to their characteristics.

Hotprchichi, it is not your decision to make though, it is theirs. So don't decide it for them. You have a life, live it, I have no idea why people don't just worry about their own.

Well that would really be the major factor in feeling like you aren't the right person, if you walk around thinking you are the wrong gender then you would be trying to act like you think you should, though it's not how you want to act. Though with some people, they might just find that dressing up as the opposite gender does it for them, eitherway mental health should come before how you look in socity.
