A real problem is subjective, I suppose. Children who think they are mythical creatures and want to be validated and “lead” us aren’t a problem in most rational people’s minds.
You are validating the person, right? Not the thoughts............
Wouldn't surprise me... people now want to alter their own reality and expect society to accommodate their fantasies.... and if you don't, you're somehow doing them an injustice.Feminist medical school professor says trans kids identifying as 'minotaurs' are part of 'gender revolution'
Diane Ehrensaft, a chief psychologist at UC Benioff Children's Hospital, claimed children can identify as gender hybrids which included a "gender minotaur."www.foxnews.com
Hopefully this is not a serious story.
^^^^good point.
^^^^This. Beyond ridiculous. These people are detached from reality...
No its not. Its a created problem. Boys and girls its really that simple. If you want to be gay or lesbian fine but it boils down to male and female. You cant be a hybrid or boy in the front and girl (minotaur) in the back that's just dumb. Now by creating terms for this stuff you legitimize it. What's next kitty litter in school bathrooms for the ones that identify as cats? Why cant we concentrate on real problems in society like homelessness, drugs, gun violence and real mental health issues. There's no need to make stuff up to fit a narrative.
So gender and sexuality are not related in that universe? I mean if a person can be a boy in the front and a girl in the back why not?
^^Exactly right.
I think its a like a "gender mullet": business in the front, party in the back.
Were at this point because of the constant need to validate what people think and make it normal. Assign a term to it and we can move on to the next thing. Minotaur, gender fluid, neutral ect... It still boils down to one fact. Your born an man or a woman and you'll die the same way regardless of what drugs, surgeries or terms are created to change that. It was stated perfectly earlier. If a kid identifies as Superman are you going to let them jump off a building?
Ok. Like I said your born a man or a woman and you'll die the same way. Whatever you do or call yourself in between cant change that.
I guess media joke would have been more inclusive.OP said "Fox Joke".

In the context of this story your right. Minotaur? Boy in front girl in back? Seriously? Thats what this expert came up with?
But wait... how can this be?? this contradicts a mental health director at the gender center at one of the best children's hospitals in the nation.. and, did I mention, he is a very respected professor at one of the best medical schools in the nation..For those of you who are interested in this issue, this is a good article on the changes being made in northern European countries and why:
Denmark Joins the List of Countries That Have Sharply Restricted Youth Gender Transitions
A major medical journal Ugeskrift for Læger, the Journal of the Danish Medical Association, confirmed that there has been a marked shift in the country’s approach to caring for youth with gender dysphoria. Most youth referred to the centralized gender clinic no longer get a prescription for...
This part at the bottom:
However, at the same time, at its 2023 Annual Leadership Forum earlier this month, AAP paradoxically reaffirmed its current “transition for all those who want it” affirmative care approach, refusing to acknowledge or consider the problems that have been documented by the recent European systematic reviews and react in real time. Rather than working collaboratively, as the Danish clinicians have suggested in their article, the CEO of the AAP has described a decidedly American-exceptionalism approach: “they engaged in their process, we’re engaging in our process.” And just earlier this week, the official AAP website platformed another article promoting gender transition of minors by two gender clinicians who reassured America’s pediatricians that "affirmation" is beneficial while caution is harmful: “When pediatricians lack knowledge about the needs of transgender and gender-diverse youth, they may default to the “watch and wait” approach. This method is outdated and harmful….” (The article does carry a footnote, "The views expressed in this article are those of the author, and not necessarily those of the American Academy of Pediatrics.)
America was fast to import and accelerate the European approach to treating minors, putting it “on steroids” and adding the scalpel. However, when it comes to reversing course, it intends to take its time. Why AAP staunchly refuses to accept the conclusions of multiple systematic reviews of evidence that found the practice of youth gender transition to either not be clearly beneficial, or net-harmful is unclear. Although the AAP has finally agreed to commission its own systematic review, it has already presaged the review's conclusion, which is that it will support the current pro-affirmation AAP position. In the meantime, thousands of American children and parents continue to be misinformed that science and evidence support the practice of gender transitions for youth who desire them, and that those raising concerns are merely science-deniers spreading “scientific misinformation” at best, and likely ill-intentioned. Therefore, it is not surprising that in America, the debate will continue to be politicized, and may ultimately be adjudicated in the court of law rather than due to the diligence and responsible actions and course corrections of the medical community itself, as is currently underway in Europe.
All y'all are doing is proving my point, so thanks.
It may not be simple, but its not complicated, either. Its biology.
That random message board posters consider themselves to be experts in almost every topic and consider their own opinion to be as valuable, if not more so, than the opinion of actual recognized experts in the field at hand.
True. Gender Minotaur is the same as a polka dot sky. The minotaur part came from a so called expert. I was pointing out the story and that it was ironically on Fox.
