Dear Amy: I don’t believe transitioning to another gender is the answer to gender dysphoria. My views about transitioning and giving puberty-blocking drugs to youths are in line with my very conservative perspective.
I believe that gender is determined by physiology, not psychology. I don’t believe transitioning to another gender is the answer to gender dysphoria. My views about transitioning and giving puberty-blocking drugs to youths are in line with my very conservative perspective.My best friend “Martin’s” child is transitioning to female. She’s 25. Since I value Martin’s friendship, I refer to his child as “your daughter,” and I use his daughter’s new name and refer to her with female pronouns.
“Martin’s” adult child is transitioning from male to female. It seems logical that this intrinsically personal journey should belong only to the person taking it. You can apply your theories regarding gender dysphoria, hormones, surgery and the like to your own life, should you ever choose to contemplate gender transition. Otherwise, MYOB, indeed.
Dear Amy: I am a retiree and one of my daily pleasures is taking my pup to a neighborhood off-leash dog park. Regardless, dog owners are more intractable and harder to train than the canines they care for. Should you intervene here? Not even with a 10-foot leash.
