Sly's WTF Wednesday: Tra Targeting of Teens and Children in U.K. Schools

A response to this post on Transgender Trend.

I am quite sure if I were growing up now rather than in the 70's, I would have ended up transitioning and regretted it.

I realized early on that girls were treated as inferior, and it enraged me.

I didn't want to be treated like a girl. I wanted the same opportunities and respect that was given to the boys.

I was always fine with being female. I just didn't like the way girls were talked down to and not allowed to take the cool classes like metal shop. We had to take freaking home ec. I knew how to cook! Learning to weld would have been interesting to me, but I was not allowed on the basis of having ovaries.

So, of course, rather than eradicating crap gender roles which pigeonhole people into certain behaviors, I must have actually been a boy and should have been given puberty blockers.

Which would not have messed me up even more than I already was. (sarcasm)

SMDH.
