Baffles me why some people feel the need to classify someone else or tell them how to live their private life. Just let people be happy with who they want to be, there's too much misery in the world as it is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think anyone has any real issue with people calling themselves whatever they want. I think people get irritated when such irrelevant things such as this come up though just to suit the 0.0000001% of the population that get offended by everything.

Bigger crime here is the gallon or so of water that was wasted for coffee/tea along with the air conditioning unit, lights etc etc during the meeting to discuss something so pointless taking place.

What's a sterilise the children type?
Check your sperm count before answering.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone who believe pre-pubescent children are capable of making a decision that will put them on an irreversible path to lifelong medication, sterility and numerous other health complications. Yet we don't even let people get tattoos until they're 18 because kids don't understand the consequences.

It's a stance pushed heavily by the pharmaceutical industry - it has the opportunity to be way, way more profitable than even the opioid epidemic as even if you later change your mind, because you screwed up your puberty you still have to take drugs for the rest of your life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And when they’re not supported, it puts them on the path to suicide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Suicide baiting is utterly shameful, although I can't say I'm surprised from you.

But, using the example in the OP, it's utterly trivial to 'ladies' or 'gentlemen' (ffs, who calls themselves a gentleman?) causes no offence to call them guests and is more inclusive to a minority which may get offended. Its just the right thing to do ,in all walks of life. Just be nice to people different from the majority, just because there's less of them doesn't make them any less important.

No, i’m one of those let kids be who they are types.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh phew, we agree. No pushing adult ideas onto children and just let them grow up naturally into who they are. You had me worried there, apologies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I’m pretty certain that being born with the wrong body doesn’t feel natural to them in any way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No such thing as "the wrong body". You are your body. If somebody doesn't feel comfortable with it then we treat that, we don't tell them they're right to hate their body and change it through extremely financially lucrative drugs and procedures.

Unless you're an amoral corporate shill, of course.

No way on earth can kids make such life changing decisions. I have a teenage daughter who by the age of 13 has at varying times declared that she’s ugly, overweight, unintelligent. None of which is the case. The changes their bodies are going through naturally really mess them up, with their minds playing all kinds of tricks on them. There will be times when nearly every child will not be happy with who they are, especially with the ridiculous content they have access to online.

The potential for completely ruining their whole lives is immense if they’re allowed to make permanent changes from what they were born with. It has to be an age limit of at least 18.

All joking aside I suspect more snobbier folk will be upset by not being called gentleman or lady than the miniscule minority that would have been put out by being called such vicious slurs.

Hobo, what about kids born with "ambiguous genitalia"?
Had to look up that term. But that happens naturally. Too expensive?

He’s not completely wrong though, is he? Surely providing counselling to a youngster who declares they want to make a lifelong change to their body is the absolute minimum that needs to be done? I can’t think of a worse outcome than letting a teenager change their gender only for them to realise several years later that that wasn’t actually the root of their issues.

27% of young trans people have attempted suicide.

That’s what’s shameful.

Not buying that either. Saying 'welcome to our guests' it's inoffensive to anybody, no matter what their perceived social status is.

I'm actually with you on the 18 year age limit for any irreversible treatment, but with the proviso young people get support and acceptance of who they are and have a full non judgemental education of what's available and what it will mean for them. They deserve a chance of a better adjusted and happier life for themselves.
