Some sketchy areas?? [random thoughts on grey areas of gender and gender identity politics.]

I'm told by some on the left that transgenderism isn't a thing you're wrong about. I know of a few people who tried it and realised it wasn't for them. In fact, before surgery or other treatments, in most cases. And the counselling for those who think they're transgender tends to see most change their mind on this matter. I think a lot of progressives generalise and don't get that some people are mistaken in their choices. They support the idea so much because of those who do transition, and stay the course, don't turn back. That in itself creates the idea that there is no changing your mind. By generalising, intolerance is the broad result. As with some of those who did live their life as trans for a number of years, as soon as they returned to what is, in general, cisgender. They might find hatred from those who can be ideological about these things. The social media abuse between sides who set standards is troubling. And most people who have tried and considered transgender lifestyles or differing ways of life, don't feel comfortable talking about it. I think there is a mainstream polarity, which leaves behind those between. Who may have other reasons behind why they thought they were trans. And in modern times, the watering down of gender identity has created a popularity of calling a thing a gender, when if it is a personality type. And oddly, most mainstream UK conservatives seem to not mind people undergoing gender assignment. We're very liberal in the UK, it seems. I think what many are confused about are the nebulous areas of special identity. Or a unique identity. Where some seem to confuse character traits and personality types with gender issues, and some, in some cases, confuse sexual kinks with gender identity. Hardline conservatives blur the lines to throw out the baby with the bathwater. While the progressive-left blur things in their own way with ever-expanding lists of things that people are or are meant to be, and seem to ignore some things that are sometimes bigger issues. Such as those former-trans people, those who were gender-confused, sexually confused gender relating identity issues, those who reverse transition, and many other types or groups. These outnumber the new specialist and semi-unique labellings for gender identities that many are obsessed with. It begins to make a mockery of what is gender or gender identity by making out that some things are gender types or identity types that may not be best described by gender political terms.

Non-Binary Genders?!?! - Fact Or Fiction?

Socially, there are more than two genders, however, genetically there are two gender types, yet there are variations such as XYY syndrome.  So Socially you can identify differently or act differently, at a social level you can use a label/identity/role as a persona, however, the fact do not change.  I don't think there is a movement to say that 'chromosomes change', or anything of this kind, a rare few will have chromosomal conditions that are non-binary, the previously noted XYY condition is a common example.  Other conditions that may be a factor vary, such as stable chemical differences, thus a lower amount of gender specific chemicals being produced by the body. 

And, regardless of all of this, there are those who are non-trans and do not have gender dysphoria as much as general identity issues, so confusion or preference allows some to confuse identity issues with gender identity issues.  As a result, we have people claiming trans and fluid gender types based on personal mental-emotional issues while they're young and being exposed to new ideas in university.  It's a bit like students who get politicised, in fact, it is the same in many ways and politically social issues are pushed forward by those who fail to define what is social and what is scientifically true. 

There are those who don't trust science and will reject it for social ideological views, they, when they appear, are the troubling phenomenon that is growing out of social justice politics.  And, they are the true core of the trouble with social issue activists.
