что-то происходит
Dec. 5th, 2023 10:03 amNYT опубликовала очередную "вдумчивую" статью на тему как полезно менять пол в подростковом возрасте.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/opinion/politics/life-without-regret.html
Ее совершенно заклевали в комментариях - и это среди подписчиков NYT. Самый популярный комментарий ниже, и первый положительный комментарий где-то на 15-м месте по части поддержки, после него еще десяток негативных подряд. Просыпается здравый смысл?
A person’s sex is determined by gametes (sperm or ova). Males produce sperm while females produce ova. About 0.02% to 0.05% of people are intersex. Only intersex persons are nonbinary. Sex is binary for everyone else, including transgender persons. They are either male or female. Transgender woman are unambiguously male while transgender men are unambiguously female.
Sex is not “assigned” at birth. Maternity ward personnel conduct physical inspections to determine whether babies are male or female, or, in rare cases, intersex. Since humans are not among species that can change sex, males never become female and females never become males. (If this weren’t true, there would be no need for the transgender adjective.)
Gender dysphoria is real and requires therapy, but which type of therapy is age appropriate is a legitimate issue. Society should make reasonable accommodations for persons who suffer from gender dysphoria. Americans should treat transgender persons with kindness and respect.Transgender persons should be protected from discrimination in housing and employment. But Americans should not be required by law to treat transgender women as though they were actually female or transgender men as though they were actually male.
