RE: Psychology Addict # 30 | What Makes a Boy a Boy & a Girl a Girl?

in #psychology7 years ago

This is really an exploratory post. No one can do justice except people in the field of psychology. As a normal person who has had a lot of societal influence, dictates on how I perceive the world, I really salute your courage in bring this on. While I am happy that we have a lot of positive changes on how the society allows people to make choices based on their conviction, I will say much is still needed to be done. Where I grew up, it is a "taboo" for a boy to wear female dress nor see himself as a lady. It is as badto the extent that if you are a left handed girl or boy, parents/teacher try to force you to use the right hand. Some kids have been a victim of this and it has cost them more than a fortune.
Thank you for your continued mind-developing posts.

Hello @turpsy :))

You are right Turpsy, we have indeed come a long way in terms of dealing with topics like this. Still, this is considered a very controversial topic for many. But, I suppose that is why there is still so much prejudice surrounding it. I believe that through discussions like this we can all debate and acquire a better understanding, not only of the factors that play a role in human sexuality; but also, what families like those of Camille's go through :)

Thank you once again for being open-minded and venturing beyond the border of set-in-stone beliefs :)
