This issue is now a hot debate and a very controversial one at that in some societies. I think everyone should be allowed to live a life they wish to live as long as that life does not physically cause harm to anyone. In the society I live, such subject hardly comes up for discussion due to the age-old beliefs, culture, and of course religion, which has a significant influence on people's choices and behaviours.
Maybe in coming years we may get there, I for one was ambidextrous at birth, but after a few knocks, I learned that left is not "acceptable" as most elders felt it was evil and not an allowed behaviour to use it in place of the right hand. I wrote about the experience briefly here 5 months ago.
Hello @greenrun :))
This is indeed a challenging & controversial debate Green, and I am very grateful for vehicles like Steemit that allows us to discuss this with neutrality and in an educational manner. I believe that through discussion like this, we will, in the coming years, be able to approach the transgender issue with less reluctance and full respect towards those who undergo such experiences. Hopefully, future generations will be more equipped to look at children like Camille as well as her family in a less superstitious fashion!
Have a great, great Friday night & weekend ahead my dear :)
Ps: I will definitely read about your experience to have a better insight into these beliefs.
Thank you, children of the future, won't have it this bad. That is something that is guaranteed to happen. We would then look back and wonder why it was such a big deal now.
