This whole topic leaves me nauseated. Messing with what God created is an abomination (to me). You would have to wonder why there is an explosion of the thinking. It almost seems to go hand in hand with the Covid narrative. Why they are trying to do with kids putting these ideas into their heads at such a young age should horrify their parents. Why are parents not appalled with this. More than ever I wish parents could afford to homeschool their children. Thanks for airing the subject, You and John Waters are doing great work

Your mother was one of that vanishing breed of Irish women who lived not only for this world, but for higher things, and who knew the importance of duty, and of love for others. You didn't have to do anything, in my opinion, it sounds like she had it all figured out.

Absolutely brilliant piece echoing every single thought that has been rattling around in my addled brain for the past few years and as someone who took a 'sociology of gender' module in UCD ten years ago, there was nothing like the content our confused youth are being exposed to. A trip to an endocrinologist may also be the starting point to help clarify what is causing the gender dysphoria in the first place, and not a trend of referring children to the Tavistock centre in London!

What a complex issue to write about...yet so necessary.

My viewpoint for whatever it is worth is that, for a long time now, pharmaceuticals have taken over in that field too and society has been brain washed for decades now. It is After all an ever growing financially highly rewarding market.

What If there was nothing "wrong" with the body we are born "into"? To which extent have "trans" +++ been coerced to believe they can only be valued if their body matches their sexual inclination? What if this world was moving towards an androgen society ... where sexual "physical "complementarity" mainly had for purpose reproduction of the human species?

What if the first step was to be that of learning self- love, gratitude for being given the experience of the physical body...? Would this not lead to a more inclusive, loving, emotionaly balanced, hamonious society?

I happen to be straight and I have no problem with same sex attraction. Where there is true love ( and attraction) there cannot be anything wrong. My concern is In feeling that human beings have been manipulated to the extent that they feel they need to resort to surgery to feel " valued" and my understanding is that once the "elation" of taking that step and the physical suffering that goes Along with it has subsided ( when/ if it does) it just opens once more the wound of the " mal être" and yearning for the soul which Is a characteristic of all human beings.Here lies the origin of the "evil" currently ravaging society: coercion into making us believe that our happiness/ worthiness is dependant on physical attributes/ norms.
