Weihana. Transgenderism is not a serious medical issue but a mental one.

http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/medical+condition

medical condition A disease, illness or injury; any physiologic, mental or psychological condition or disorder…

http://www.dsm5.org/documents/gender%20dysphoria%20fact%20sheet.pdf

Characteristics of the Condition

For a person to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, there must be a marked difference between the individual’s expressed/experienced gender and the gender others would assign him or her, and it must continue for at least six months. In children, the desire to be of the other gender must be present and verbalized. This condition causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Gender dysphoria is manifested in a variety of ways, including strong desires to be treated as the other gender or to be rid of one’s sex characteristics, or a strong conviction that one has feelings and reactions typical of the other gender.

The kids need shrinks, not surgery.

They need to decide for themselves what they need with assistance from those who understand the condition.

Surely it must be time for a serious review of our name suppression rules.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/Jock-Anderson/news/article.cfm?a_id=927&objectid=11454992

Either there is something very wrong with the law or… there is something wrong with the way some duff
incompetant judges are interpreting it.

So many examples recently of why this discretion, granted to judges should be removed from them.

There should be very few cases where name suppression is warranted.

They should be clear, known to all, and not subject to interpretation by lower court judiciary.

I think you may find that incest is a major cause of transgenderism.

“In other words no you don’t. You make it up as you go along and laugh at those who actually engage in empirical research. I don’t doubt you have a brain, but whether or not you are using it is another matter.”

your argument is as weak as piss.

its like me presenting a study that says 80% of trannys are batshit crazy. then the only way youd be allowed to disagree is if you had a study that contradicts it? how boring.

1.2% is a huge number. not as big as the mythical 10% of people are gay. (if a chick says shes kissed another chick she goes into the gay pile.. not really gay, just an awesome girl friend 😀 )

“I assume this is a personal anecdote from driving around the back streets of K Rd looking for a good time?”

its safe to say Dime knows his way around a sex worker 😀 but trannys dont really do it for me. no matter how you spin it.

like the line in the new Ted movie “there arent no chicks with dicks! only guys with tits!!!”

Basing things on evidence is boring? I suppose it is. That’s why we have religion.

1.2% is a huge number. not as big as the mythical 10% of people are gay. (if a chick says shes kissed another chick she goes into the gay pile.. not really gay, just an awesome girl friend )

The rainbow community are not known for pigeon-holding people. That’s why we have “LGBTQIA” among other iterations. Though actually I know women who have been pigeon-holed as gay though it’s for doing more than just kissing. But any lefty worth their salt knows it’s a spectrum. 🙂

1 in 100 doesn’t seem particularly huge to me and you can be sure that plenty of people have hidden how they feel due to bigotry. Did you think Bruce Jenner had a gender identity issue? Maybe 1.2% isn’t the correct figure, but it is certainly more reliable than just making it up out of thin air.

edit: as an aside I don’t care what the percentage is. If we had only one child in New Zealand who had any other disorder that required special treatment we would agree to make accomodations. The same should be true of transgender children.

Again just making stuff up out of thin air based on zero knowledge and complete ignorance. Several documentaries have been made on transgendered children. I suggest you watch one and educate yourself. Listen to the people who know something like the parents of transgendered children rather than expressing your lack of knowledge in this conservative echo chamber.

Weihana – i know you love the trannys. its your thing. for all i know, you are one.

population of NZ is 4.5 million? close enough? Or do i need to check studies to get the exact figure?

for now ill go with 4.5 million.

that gives us 67,500 wannabe trannys.

why are there only about 150 on the sex change list? i guess its all our fault and they feel sad. but hey, if a reality tv guy has just decided to chop it off then there must be millions upon millions more just like him.

im guessing that NZ isnt different from the rest of the world???

so the US has 4.8 million wannabe trannies! thats impressive!! theres more wannabe trannies in the US than we have people!

its an epidemic!!! we must start making everything gender neutral NOW! dont wanna offend and of the freaks.

Looking forward to the next Local Body elections when Brian Rudman stands for Mayor. He would be the ideal choice…he has all the background information gained in hindsight…unfailing ability and knowledge to make the right decisions according to him and so very quick to know when other people are making the wrong choices. He would ensure that rate rises are kept to a minimum and that no money is spent unwisely. He has spent a life time researching this and knows all the pitfalls of running a city. After reading many of his articles I can see that he would be the best choice for mayor NOT.

Tauranga council are a disgrace , again. Although, at least they are finally doing the right thing.

Years ago they hired a safety officer and I was really critical at the time, not really knowing what a safety officer does or why they needed one. In todays news, they are announcing the job is being ‘disappeared’ which is great .

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503343&objectid=11456597

My opinion was at the time that people are trained/inducted to do their jobs safely and should not need a safety officer.

However, it is even worse than that… this safety officer has been implementing community anti bullying programmes and other social agenda guff….

“Tauranga Moana Safe City has helped deliver programmes such as No One Likes a Bully, White Ribbon Campaign and the Blow the Whistle on Violence campaign. Mr Mills told the Bay of Plenty Times he was disappointed after doing successful work for nine years”

Are these jobs that the council should be doing? While the pavement across the road is in dire need of repair?

It makes me really angy the council is wasing ratepayer money on such rubbish. The article makes references to other groups that make me believe they are spending significant amounts of time and money on social issues.

Note, this council have had several years of double digit rate increases so it is an insult that they are wasting our money on this garbage.

Who the hell is “Tauranga Moana Safe City”?? I never voted for this.

What is “The Safe City Governance Group”??? Do they fix roads or maintain sewers? Then they should be disappeared too.

And does the “Tauranga Moana Abuse Prevention Strategy” financed by our council? I hope not.

Stuart crosby is one of the worst mayors in the country and I just don’t get why the old people keep voting for him.

Thats my rant over. Bring back borough councils.

Weihana – i know you love the trannys. its your thing. for all i know, you are one.

What concerns me is children being treated poorly by assholes whose parenting skills are limited to “harden the fuck up”.

Hypocrites who scream bloody murder when their gender role is offended by the notion of unisex this or that, but cannot seem to make any allowance of understanding for those with gender dysphoria.

why are there only about 150 on the sex change list?

1. At the moment none of those people are going to receive one given there is no one to do them and, even if there was, to do them all would take many many years.

2. Gender identity isn’t about what’s between your legs it’s about what’s going on inside your head.

its an epidemic!!! we must start making everything gender neutral NOW! dont wanna offend and of the freaks.

It’s a RECOMMENDATION. No need to get your macho panties in a twist.

Good to have Weihana back. He is reliably the most extreme liberal on this blog. Is there any progressive cause he does not support?

On the subject of transgender issues, poster child Bruce Jenner amazes me. He has never been anything but male. He has no female bits and is heterosexual. But in his mind he wants to be a woman so off to surgery he goes. Like isn’t this a case of mental illness? He has always been a man but now wants to be a woman
Doesn’t he need a psychiatrist? On what basis can we say he should become a woman? Isn’t he just mentally unbalanced? And as if the poor Kardashian children need any more drama? It must be hard for them, their Dad wants to become their Mum. That would freak anybody out.

I think they know what they are. It is ignorant adults who have trouble processing it. Indeed it seems in supportive environments other children have no problem with accepting transgendered kids because they mirror the tolerance expressed by their parents.

🙂 You are welcome.

On the subject of transgender issues, poster child Bruce Jenner amazes me. He has never been anything but male. He has no female bits and is heterosexual.

I have faith that conservatives can come to understand gender dysphoria if they think about it because every conservative understands gender roles. That’s why you are all up in arms about suggestions things should be unisex. You know that, in general, women think differently than men. That is to say that being female is not just about having a vagina, but it is THINKING like a woman that makes you feminine (and vice versa).

Why then is it so bloody hard for conservatives to appreciate the fact that some people are wired differently than their genitals would suggest? Why do you people encounter this runtime error “but but but… he has a penis… how can he be a woman?!?!”

Like isn’t this a case of mental illness?

It’s a disorder. It causes pain, influenced greatly by how society reacts and treats such people.

He has always been a man but now wants to be a woman

Actually he states that he has always felt this way. As i recall from his interview it’s probably a large part of why he was so successful in athletics.

On what basis can we say he should become a woman?

It’s up to him, not us!

That’s why I think there is craziness in you Weihana, a man thinks he is a woman and so it’s ok to decide to become a woman?

Look you are born either male or female. I appreciate a very few people have male and female bits, probably as a result of some genetic mutation, and we can feel sorry for them.
But I guess you embody the essence of liberalism, nothing is God given, it’s all open to change according to how you feel? You are born a man but want to be a woman, no problem. You are a woman but want to be a man, well we’ll just give you some extra bits.
Without God we get all this craziness. I guess that’s the essence of it, defying God even up to denying how he’s created us.

Scott,

If God makes mistakes and gets the genitals wrong but everything else right, why is it not also possible that he gets the genitals right but the brain is wired wrong?

it’s all open to change according to how you feel?

You have it completely backwards. The point is they can’t change how they feel. They identify with a gender that does not match their biological gender and that is hard wired into their brain.

do you think that maybe your tranny cause would do better if they didnt start off with a giant ass lie?

no matter how you spin it, being a tranny is not NORMAL. the best you can do is ask for understanding.

but starting off by telling us that 65,000 people in NZ are tranny wannabes just makes me think – piss off nutjobs.

and Dime is quite understanding 🙂

While we’re on the topic of understanding… 🙂

The Psychological Case for Talking in the Third Person

…Typically, the use of the third person by individuals themselves, called illeism, is associated with egocentrics and oddball characters like rapper Flavor Flav, American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman and Jimmy from Seinfeld. When most people talk about themselves, they just say “I.”

Weihana .”Gender identity isn’t about what is between your legs it’s what’s going on inside your head.” That’s the essence of what I said earlier. And yes I do know quite a bit about this it’s just that we disagree about how to best help people with this “mental” condition. There are a couple of people who think they are cats and have various plastic surgeries to look like cats. Are they then actual cats? Progressive liberals would say so.

All this talk about, “I’m really such-and-such on the inside” reminds me of a thing I posted before. If a guy was to say that he was African American on the inside then how is that any different?

First of all let me say that this isn’t an easy decision and I hope that everyone will support me in my time of need. That being said, I want to admit that growing up I always felt different from everyone else around me. Things always seemed so colorless to me and I was always aware that I felt darker than other boys. Now, at long last, I must admit the truth. I must stop living a lie. I must come out and admit that I was born an African American.
Oh, sure, I “look” white. But so what? I have always felt black and now I wish to publicly embrace my inner African American.

Does this sound absurd to you? Is it wrong that a 50-some-year-old white man is suddenly claiming that he’s always “felt black”?

Why should it? Why should I not decide to be black? After all, liberals say that we can merely decide to be anything we want to be these days. A man can be a woman, a woman can be a man, a man can dress like a woman but still be a man, a religious person can jettison that and be an atheist, people can alter their faces and bodies with implants of any type ala transhumanism… anything is possible.

So, if I want to “be” an African American, why not? Who is to say I haven’t always “felt” black?

Who can deny me? Would liberals allow me, or any white person, their “feelings” that they are really a black person trapped in a white person’s body?

And if I can’t decide to be black, why not? How do liberals draw that imaginary line? How is it not arbitrary to deny me my feelings? How can it not be justified with the same “reasoning” as their other politically acceptable cases?

That pretty much highlights the absurdity of the whole, “I’m a different gender inside” thing.

They’re not cats, they’re probably schizophrenics. So dumb analogy.

But the focus of treatment should not be on what makes others comfortable it should be about the interests of the individual and how best to maximize their enjoyment in life. That’s why it’s important to emphasis that it is *their* decision and it is not for you, or any “progressive liberal” like myself to tell them what the prescription is.

Hello Blue, how are you ? Hello Blue’s girlfriend – are you feeling Blue today ? Going to give him a Blue job ?

Wellingtonian May 28 page 3 – meet Pollyanna Besley and her pre-school son Blue.

Bunch of inner-city alternate urban hippies. Polly runs some inner-city community thing – of course she does. They’ve got a sling service – mothers can borrow a sling to comfortably carry their child. A sling – you know, like the third world. They’ve also got a basket lending service. With Yellow strapped to your back you can balance an eco-friendly basket on your head and put the washing in it or organic produce. They’ll show you how to weave it from re-purposed materials they collect. Also for feral breeders with three kids under two the multi-sling – one over each shoulder and a bum-bag sling.

You should see her hair.

Polly says young mothers are often stigmatised. I can’t see why – naming your child Blue, carried around in a sling with punk hair that looks like it’s been badly spray-painted.

Yes Nasska that sounds pretty nutty but no more nutty than believing two men can marry each other – which you must admit is extremely bizarre

yep, I’d found out that the Co-op bank used to be the Psis…. I really want to know what their philosophy is now … especially with respect to investment in local businesses, etc.

I once considered marrying my old hunting mate but was put off by his bad breath.

We shared many a little bivvy so it seemed OK at the time.

I later discovered that we had little in common other than a love of slaughtering deer so just as well we never got hitched! 🙂

No, Andrei. What we have done is call civil partnership/union “marriage”.

We have changed the word, not the concept.

The concept, rooted in the beginning of life itself, concerns the special relationship between males and females; it has not changed.

As I keep saying, you can call a truck a bus but it won’t stop and pick up passengers.

….”no more nutty than believing two men can marry each other”….

The institution of marriage has a different value for various people in our society Andrei. The importance people attach to it is largely influenced by their age, culture & whether they have belief in the supernatural.

People born in the past thirty plus years treat marriage as “could be nice but not essential”. Therefore they are not easily offended by who ties the not be they straights, gays or their dogs.

It’s only a bit of paper & I go along with them.

Only a piece of paper?

Why then, was it so important for homosexuals to usurp the word “marriage”?

It’s not as if they want to actually want to get married.

It’s all about acceptance; the normalisation of deviance.

Well, they’ve certainly managed to antagonise me. Hitherto I was very supportive of changes to the law to improve their lot.

Certainly many young people don’t care much that the meaning of marriage has been changed.

Mind you, women complain that men aren’t keen to make a commitment to the “relationship”.

Let’s face it. Men want sex and women want a man. Don’t panic, nitpickers, it’s a generalisation.

Marriage was society’s way of addressing the problem. Especially when children were involved, or likely to be.

The queers have only hastened the demise of marriage.

And cats . . .

Do you promise to honour and obey, for better or worse, for all your nine lives . . .

Or . . . cat marries dog – oooo – inter-species couple. Cat-dog relationship rights protesters demand recognition of marriage equality with all other mammals.

….”Men want sex and women want a man.”…..

Totally agree Dennis but the poor women get the metrosexuals their mothers’ generation insisted men should be.

But it’s still got bugger all to do with the importance or otherwise of marriage as opposed to coexistence.

Well, this was disturbing news. I thought I’d better check out if Hubby #1 was a metrosexual.

I filled in this test for him

and he is a 100% slob.

“So based on what’s ‘normal’ you’re happy to deviate from the norm but unwilling to accept others who do the same?”

i know youre not the smartest peanut in the turd chrissy so ill try and make it clearer.

dime doesnt actually care about trannys. do what ya want.

dime has an issue with made up shit like 1.5% of kids think they may be trannys

dime has an issue with sweeping changes to suit a very very small group of people

Seems by year end Newstalk ZB and NZ Herald so called “Journalists” will be classed as one ,spitting out daily, the anti John Key and National Government stories,as they sit side by side in the same building. Knew there was something like that propaganda already,as mostly daily news Herald prints, seems to be copied and reported on by Labour /Green sycophants imbedded in Newstalk ZB news outlets. There was once a time ,when Newstalk ZB was the only outlet for unbiased news reports,now it has been joined at the hip, with the sicko trade union infested anti John Key NZ Herald.”

All of this is great news for the likes of the blog site Whaleoil, who must be rubbing their hands with glee. With some further refinement, Whaleoil could (or already is), the pre-eminent site for all serious news watchers throughout NZ. As the owner of a business whom once advertised everyday in the NZ Herald for x 12 years, I am now seriously looking at putting some of my advertising dollars Whaleoil’s way, but first, they need to lift their game another notch or, two.
