First and undeniable fact: there are not multiple genders that is a physical impossibility we are all either one of the two genders. It seems though that some people for physical, psychological or emotional reasons find the two genders confusing sometimes because there are problems from birth and sometimes because later influences cause them to become misaligned.
There is nothing whatsoever wrong with individuals exploring the possibilities of their own and the opposite gender but the idea that there are more than the original two is nothing, can't be, but the wishful thinking of those suffering the insecurity of indecision, there is nothing wrong with exploration or uncertainty its likely that those who explore and/or are unsure are in a way healthier individuals than those who never question.
So nothing wrong with exploration, education or confusion at all, and these days after centuries of often self inflicted but mainly religious denial no one cares if a man longs to dress as a woman or vice versa. No one cares if a man wants to become a woman or vice versa. No one cares if men want to have sex with men or women with women, Marriage is still a problem but those who object to same sex marriages are declining in number and that is healthy and as it should be.
The problem, if there is one, may very likely be that those who have doubts are unsure of their identity. Its not possible to forge an entirely new identity we are all the product of our genes, environment and upbringing and those are the ties that bind us far more securely than any ball and chain. Its a question of acceptance not the acceptance of others but of ourselves. We are who we are and within the law we experiment and today after centuries of mostly religious hindrance no one really cares anymore, except perhaps there maybe opposition to change in some individual families, but that like so many family arguments is something that must and can only be solved within the home.
What is beginning to irritate me however is nothing to do with individuals but rather what has become the essential 'vice versa'. We have to say it. It shouldn't be necessary, very few members of the public, even less than those who are transgender, care, but the vociferous and continual nagging of a tiny minority have ensured that we must all repeat the same mantra.
Frankly and to use an old and unquestionably sexist colloquialism: It gets on my tits.
