Florida education officials on Wednesday unanimously approved harsher penalties against state college employees who violate a new law barring them and students from using restrooms or changing facilities for a gender other than the one assigned at birth.
Klinefelter syndrome occurs when a person who is assigned male at birth is born with an extra x chromosome. Most people with the condition are cisgender boys or men.
Being trans is not a medical condition, although many trans people have gender dysphoria, which is psychological distress a person may have due to identifying with a different gender than the one that they were assigned at birth.
Huh? Being trans is absolutely a medical condition. Many people die without appropriate treatment. Trans people are treated seriously by medical professionals because it’s recognized as a legitimate medical need that cannot be resolved through therapy or socialization/conversion therapy. It’s unclear what you’re saying here, that it’s a just social figment or something?
I’d go further, and say that anything that needs “just” therapy, is also a medical condition.
The mentality of “as long as it lets you work, it doesn’t matter whether you suffer or not” is pretty inhumane, IMHO.
In a sense, yeah. Though things like trauma and PTSD are caused by experiences, where as being trans is probably more akin to being intersex. But yeah, no argument that mental health should be treated as seriously as physical health. Many societies fall short in treating either as particularly important.
