Quote from: Leiandra on November 01, 2008, 11:53:31 PMBut a baby identity isn't a gender identity, it's a developmental stage of all humanity.And as for the workplace, well if someone adult believes they are a baby... babies are too young to work. So not getting a job would simply reinforce the identity.It strikes me as a little unfair and hypocritical to adopt an attitude of 'we are prepared to ridicule, and don't want any association with these people because they'll make us look bad in the eyes of the wider world'. Isn't that what we strive against, with regard to how society sees us as transgendered people, at the moment? Do we really want to turn into what we dislike others for being?They're human beings, like the rest of us, with feelings and rights. The fact that society as a whole may have trouble accepting people who walk this path should not, in my opinion, give free reign to scorn and alienation based solely on fear of rejection by association.*sigh*
Quote from: glendagladwitch on November 02, 2008, 09:09:27 AMI think this example is useful for transexual persons like me in getting an idea of what many cisgendered people might think and feel when they experience us. I'm faced with a decision whether to "draw the line somewhere" or do my usual thing and take her at her word regarding her identity. I'm striving for the latter.
