Recently, I advised parents to not allow their children to watch Chaz Bono compete on Dancing With the Stars.

I stand by that advice.

I believe that mainstreaming behavior makes it more likely that others will engage in that behavior. I believe this is particularly true for those who are still forming a psychological identity—a firm sense of self. Children and adolescents certainly fit those criteria. There is a wealth of scientific data supporting that view, but many activists and media personalities and even some mental health professionals have taken issue with that claim.

If making this condition known influences people to want SRS then how would this person explain me?

I first realised that I wanted to be female at about 7 or 8 yrs old, at the time I knew nothing of SRS, in fact I didn't learn that this procedure was possible until I was a teenager, up until that point I thought I must be gay.

No doubt this person would claim that I must have heard about SRS & not aknowledged it or that I convinced myself that I came to this realisation later in life & fooled myself into thinking that I knew this at an early age!

It's people like this who make life so hard for us & keep the general public ignorant of the true issues of GID, this medical dinosaur needs to learn to bring his mindset in this century & educate himself properly without the blinkers of a medieval view or keep his narrow minded views to himself.

Sorry for the rant but this kind of ignorance trying to call itself an educated view really gets under my skin
