Is this a serious question?
It’s not just NJ either.
First, how can one be gender confused if there is no way to define the terms boy or girl? Second, where does such an idea even enter someone’s mind?

I think you are looking at it a bit backwards in that the whole crux of the issue is that, well in the case i know of, that this person was male already from birth but was born in a girls body.
I don’t think even they nor i know exactly how it happens but people are born with all sorts of anomalys.
You literally just proved @Jezcoe right with this response.
The article you linked to cites an instance where the substitute teacher was removed for answering a question asked of him by students. And for daring to answer, you’ve implicated him as a groomer.
What a stupid response, though right in line with the standard Trumper position.

@plsd2mechu i am by no means an authority on the subject apart from the fact my daughters best friend transitioned at 12.
They are not gender confused i don’t think if its a genuine situation.
They are very clear that they were born in the wrong body.
It’s that certainty that causes them problems and i agree parents need to listen at least.
People speculate 12 is too young but those kids have been dealing with the issue for years and going into senior school can bring matters to a head.

Doesn’t need any new definition. A man or woman still means what it always did.
Its just there’s another group who maybe don’t fit into either group or were born the wrong gender.
They are known as trans and will be identified as such hence the distinction from us regular folks.

Well exactly @Eagle-Keeper it’s too outside the norm to be contrived and the answer is they were born with it.
I don’t know why its so hard to fathom.
I mean why are some kids born with cancer or any other mental and physical conditions.

Wrong. They are calling themselves men and women. Not “trans.”

Oh, and I’m not a “trumper” nor does this thread have anything to do with Trump.
See somebody.
I don’t “understand” it all…
All theses new acronyms and new pronouns really confuse me but…
I’m just saying folks need to leave them ALONE!
I always did!
i left it too the professionals!
However?
I bet most that are so angry and RAILING against trans theraphy?
Are folks that are "trans/homophobic.
I honestly don’t care if any of my 5 sons and 10 grands where “gay/ bi/ fluid…”
You CAN’T “make” a person gay/bi/Trans/Fluid"!

You are saying that the body from the neck down defines who you are.
Trans people say the area from the neck up defines who they are and want their bodies to reflect that.
I don’t think any transgender on earth would try to claim they were naturally a woman or man, hence their whole dilemma in the first place.
How we deal/define these individuals is up to us.

Did their parents allow them to get “surgery” at 12?
Or did they let them start hormone theraphy?
And HOW is this your boogle?
I did. If you have something to offer beyond this I can respond.

Then it’s a comprehension issue. He was proselytizing
You can’t “make” someone gay or Bi or Trans.
