@goatsarah I’m trying to ascertain (diplomatically, without referring to feelings of sexuality!) how far ‘sexuality’ plays a part in transgender issues. Male & female roles are largely defined socially in most cultures. Hence the ‘transvestite’ issue being a bit of a smokescreen it seems. The feelings of 5-year olds are (probably) not defined by sexual preferences; yes? So, what is the 5-year old AWARE of which makes them self-identify as ‘trans’?
