Although I am profoundly frustrated that we need this level of complex conversation on topics that should otherwise be quite simple to define and understand, I appreciate what I just read.

"So the first line of treatment should really be to encourage people to be comfortable living in their own sex bodies."

Bravo. Isn't this the key? Instead of throwing a big empathetic shroud of acceptance over confused hormonal kids, maybe they just need some guidance and time to develop their sexual orientation. Hell, I was confused when puberty hit. I remember being alarmed being aroused seeing my best same-sex friend naked during and sleep-over. But later I realized in my out of control flood of hormones I would get aroused over many things.

Lately I have been addicted to fantasy fiction novels written primarily by female writers with a female perspective. The better of these books do a fantastic job with the female and male characters; juxtaposing traditional male-female sexual tension and passion, but also challenging the typical warrior-hero vs saving-victim gender stereotypes.

It seems to me that this is the correct orientation that has been corrupted and lost by current gender ideology narrative from the 3rd wave postmodernist feminist hive. Somehow we have allowed that power to convolute the simple sweetness of male-female sexual behavior into a conflict of gender identity. The correct orientation, I think, should be to promote and value that sweet simplicity while also promoting progressive deconstruction of unhealthy bias in traditional societal gender roles.

Sex is sex... biologically functioning for species reproduction, but for humans also serving some of our deeper sweet emotional and psychological needs. Made too complex, we lose that sweetness and miss out on our related needs fulfillment. Gender bias seems a completely different topic and one that more people could get behind accepting progressive concepts if sex wasn't woven into it.
