So, let me ask the questions in a straight forward way. 1) Can a person who is not trans become trans ? 2) Can a person who is trans become not trans ?

There are detransitioners who claim this is their experience & I see no reason to disbelieve them. It’s incredibly rare, of course, but I don’t accuse them of lying, just incorrectly generalizing their experience and drawing unfounded conclusions based on it.

Now, my turn: Do you think children should be forced against their will to maintain gender norms? For instance, forced to have hair long or short, forced to wear clothing they hate and avoid clothing they like?

No, I do not. But I also don’t believe changing your hairstyle, your wardrobe or the toys you play with changes anything other than your hair, clothes and toys.

Me neither. So, if for whatever reason, a child is being mistaken for the wrong sex, I assume you think that should be forcibly corrected? Like, if you saw a child whose friends were all boys, you’d step in and say: “No! She is a girl! She is different!”

And, I assume, if a child’s parents DIDN’T correct people about the sex of their child, and make certain all their teachers and friends knew their sex & corrected it mercilessly, you would consider this child abuse? However much happier the child was to not have this info shared?

..."mercilessly"... interesting.....Anyway, I would consider it odd to allow people to mistakenly think a girl with short hair wearing cargo pants is anything other than a girl with short hair wearing cargo pants. I also do not generally encourage children to lie or deceive.

So, to you, sex is so important it must be remarked upon at all times, and if ever anyone is mistaken, even briefly, about what a person's sex is they must be corrected, otherwise it is deception? That's not sex, that's gender. I thought you were critical of gender?
