Here's the thing folks. You think some people felt different for a few months and then identified with it. I think there are many studies out there showing that false. For the most part they felt different from an early age. Their surrounding society just never let them pursue their feelings. Many knew exactly what they felt but couldn't come out and identify as such. I had a step brother who was gay. He knew it, the family knew it, and some of his close friends new it. We all accepted it except his father who would riddecule him, beat him, and constantly told him he should be dead. The 60s, early 70s. He actually tried to take his own life a few times and if not saved by others he would have succeded. Adding to his trama was a group of boys who picked on him and would sometimes beat him up. Late 70s he disappeared. No one knew where he was. He was found 300 and some miles from home in a wooded area hanging from a tree with a rope hanging from it. They estimated his death was about a week prior. The note pinned to his shirt read, because I was just too different".
Time has changed for them. With more information out there at their disposal they could finally have some understanding of what they were feeling. Of course, many still deny them. Especially you on the far right who make them seem criminal. They are human beings. No one ever said that all human genes line up the same way for everyone. Evidently, they do not.
I believe that no matter who or what they identify with, they are all humans. They all have emotions and the ability to reason. I respect all of them in regards to their choice. Are there some I don't care for personally, of course but it has nothing to do with who they identify as.
