This artwork was created specifically for the website of FurAffinity.

It uses the style of roareyraccoon who as of writing this, for the purposes of ensuring that I comply with FA Code of Conduct, does not have me blocked. If this changes in the future, the description will remain the same, as I have been inspired by several artworks they have produced and am not doing this as a call out to or against the artist at all. If anyone takes offense to my, or their, artworks, please do not bully or harass them, that is completely inappropriate behaviour.

The artwork produced above is a 'fictional piece'. According to the Code of Conduct. As a result it does not breech Code of Conduct 1.8 of the FurAffinity website.

- Do not engage in malicious speech.
This includes bigotry and disparaging remarks or content about anyone's race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, etc. This does not apply to fictional works.

I would provide links, and further describe this piece. However that may not fall under the 'fictional works' clause of section 1.8, and therefore I am unable to do so.

Please enjoy this piece as it is presented.

It uses ink, and watercolour pencil.

In this whole drama I have not seen anyone cite any references.  I have seen people declare percentages and seen people dictate what science and truth are...but all unsupported.

P.S. If people want to take sides, bear in mind both 'sides' of this drama are described equally by my observation.

Somewhere between 0.05-0.5% of individuals are transgender: http://rjh.ub.rug.nl/genderstudies/article/view/1904/1897 http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploa... http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJPH.2016...

This is a very low number, placing it at roughly 1 in 2000 for the 0.05% or 1 in 850 for the 0.5% or so.

Currently gender dysphoria is listed as a mental illness according to the DSM-5: http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/F01-F99/F60-F69...

That statement, that gender dysphoria is a mental illness is often what gets folks into trouble. Even though it is factually correct.

John Money is the 'father' of the modern interpretation of gender, he in fact coined the term 'gender role' which is now in common use. In the first study he did to prove his theory he took twins, one had his penis inadvertently removed at birth due to a defective circumcision. He decided to test that gender is a mental construct rather than biological, and he went to the parents and got them to agree to raise that child as a girl. https://documentarystorm.com/dr-money-and-the-boy-with-...

It completely failed, and both children later in life killed themselves due to the actions of John Money.

However his theory lives on, he deemed the experiment a success, and 'gender roles' is more commonly used rather than the traditional 'sex roles'. Not only that for many years, John Money claimed that David (known in the interim as “Brenda”) turned out to be a “real” girl with a female gender identity. Money used this case to bolster his approach to intersex —the approach that is still used throughout much of the U.S. and developed world—one that relies on the assumption that gender identity is all about nurture (upbringing), not nature (inborn traits), and that gender assignment is the key to treating all children with atypical sex anatomies.

This is a decent little article about biological sex and the various outliers that exist: http://www.nature.com/news/sex-redefined-1.16943

There are quite a few different genetic disorders that exist in the world, however the prevalence of them is low enough to state that biological sex is a binary and gender is a binary with outliers. Or, when talking from a wide perspective, that gender exists on a spectrum, but that the vast majority of individuals only exist in/on the gender binary.

Unfortunately there are very few informational resources demonstrating the... fear... that some psychologists have regarding teaching children that gender is a spectrum and that biological sex doesn't exist etc... Because it goes against the current narrative, and those who speak out may well be fired for doing so. I can look further into the potential damage it will do to children to confuse them further, however more information will become available when the children who are currently being taught this as fact grow up.

I find the concept of teaching children, over 99% of who are normal, that gender is a spectrum and that you can be whatever you want to be potentially damaging. It might end up reducing some level of bullying for the small percentage who are suffering from gender dysphoria, if they even know about it at that point in life, however appropriate bulling programs would be better at it than confusing the vast majority who do not even need to think about that at all.

Citations, for a change.  Nice.

Isn't being homosexual also declared as a mental illness?

Never heard of John Money, his work or his theories on gender.  But considering how harmful ex-gay therapy is trying to get homosexuals to deny their nature, I can imagine trying to force people to behave as a gender not of their choosing could be harmful.  Which is why I don't try to tell others what gender to be, even if they are transexual and even if transexuals are statistically uncommon.

Homosexuality used to be classified as that, yes, but since then it hasn't been for many years now.

Oh definitely, people should be who they are. Not be forced to be something and someone they are not. That is very true and completely agree with you there.

SIR! you seem to be trying to use logic! don't you know that's bad in todays society? its all about MU FEELS! now. however I am inclined to agree, you are what you are born as. the doctor says "ITS A BOY" guess what? you are a boy. the doctor says "ITS A GIRL" congrats you are a girl! of course I've had some people attempt to use the "but what about people born with XXY" to which I answer "ah you mean a genetic defect which ultimately can lead to health complications and issues down the line and is thus usually corrected at birth so as to prevent said health problems?" usually, not always but usually that shuts them up.

There are actually quite a handful of genetic defects and genetic outliers regarding gender.

Things with more than two sex chromosomes, or things regarding reactions to the sex hormones.

For the majority though, the sex that they are born, is indeed their gender. And for the majority, it is a binary.

Yes there are outliers, and yes, those outliers should be treated well. Not discounting someone just because they are a genetic rarity or anything like that. They are still human and still important. Just as much as everyone else.
