If I always trusted “fact only”, I’d be misinformed. Life is not black and white, there are many shades of gray in between.
In many areas yes, but many others are black and white. Some things are how they are regardles of anyones feelings, beliefs, or even knowledge. For example microbial life forms have always been a fact. The existed before Louis Pasteur discovered them. Humans had a wide range of beliefs when it came to causes for various ailments which were in fact caused by microbes. No amount of human belief can change a fact. But like I said, you're free to belive what you wish in spite of the facts. -

Louis Pasteur was grade school science. If you were the genius you so desperately wish you were you would be able to imagine a world without Google. A world where people had information stored in their minds and not in their pockets. -

I will ask you this, then I don’t wish to discuss this further.
If you were born and never felt comfortable in your own skin, always feeling like the opposite sex. Knowing that something seems wrong with you. You go through years of mental anguish feeling like an outcast. What would you do?
Don’t wanna hear, “that wouldn’t happen to me”! -

There's no point in asking a question if you shut off dialog. But since you asked gender dysphoria is a mental illness. It didn't happen to me. It does happen to about 0.03% of the population. A mental illness does not change fact or biology. -
2018-10-21 at 12:17 PM UTCNo not really my beliefs are what they are.
I just wanted to know how you would handle it. Let’s try this one. What if your son was this way?
Don’t wanna hear, “I’m not having kids”.
I know I’d love my child and support him no matter what. -

I'd would get him the best mental care I could afford. I wouldn't exasperate his illness by supporting his delusion. -
2018-10-21 at 12:23 PM UTCBest medical care is hormone replacement therapy, legal name change and gender affirmation surgery as soon as possible.
It's in the DSM V bro -
2018-10-21 at 12:25 PM UTCSo you denying his feelings causes him to kill himself, because his dad will never accept him, how would you feel?
All the counseling in the world will not change his true feelings. -

The most thorough follow-up of sex-reassigned people—extending over 30 years and conducted in Sweden, where the culture is strongly supportive of the transgendered—documents their lifelong mental unrest. Ten to 15 years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to 20 times that of comparable peers.
