    It's not something to make fun of, folks.

    It's quite serious in fact.

    I know a young man who is going through the transition, and his life since his teens has been wretched to say the least.

    After 5 years of shrinks, taking Hormone Replacment Therapy, living as his new gender in private, and gradually facing the fear and ridicule of others, he has now got a job in his chosen industry.

    Unfortunately, his several of his peers are radical evangelists, and he has had to put his whole gender reassignement on hold.

    I really cannot imagine how he must feel.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    C.S. Lewis
