At Disney you can change your gender with no problem, but changing your birthdate requires jumping through hoops. Why can't I simply self-identify as 45?

And why would they need age other than below 18 (minors) and above some "senior" figure of 60, 65, or whatever? For most people, why would age be a consideration so central that it requires Disney's approval to change?

At least there is no shortage of candidates for the "Lunacy on Steroids Award". Blake Allen, a freshman student at Randolph Union High School in Vermont, has the crazy idea that she should be allowed to undress in a locker room without being in the presence of a male. When that happened, she lodged a complaint and was found guilty of exercising her right to free speech in speaking with other students about it. Blake said this.
The school began an investigation into the comments I made in class and banned our entire girls’ volleyball team from using the girls’ locker room. The co-principals notified me that I was found guilty of harassment and bullying of "a student on the basis of the targeted student’s gender identity." As punishment, school officials told me I must take part in a "restorative justice circle" with the equity coordinator, submit a "reflective essay," and serve out-of-school suspension.
Thankfully, she exercised some courage and is fighting back. She has filed a lawsuit against the school which she will likely win. Thank goodness there is still some common sense to be found in Vermont. Predictably, on the same day that she filed suit, the superintendent rescinded the disciplinary actions that had been taken against her, thus showing yet again that if we pushback against these cowardly robots, they will cave like a house of cards.

Heather Wallace ;a certified educator was charged with endangering a child, a felony carrying a mandatory minimum of two years in prison.
A woman one block away had called the cops to report a boy walking outside alone. That lady had actually asked Aiden where he lived, verified that it was just down the street, and proceeded to call nonetheless. The cops picked up Aiden on his own block.
As they stood on her porch, the officers told Wallace that her son could have been kidnapped and sex trafficked. "'You don't see much sex trafficking where you are, but where I patrol in downtown Waco, we do,'" said one of the cops, according to Wallace.
This statement struck her as odd.
"They were basically admitting that this is a safe neighborhood," she says.
The officer then asked Wallace whether she would let her son walk home again, now that she knew about the sex trafficking.
"I still didn't know it was illegal and I said, 'I don't know,'" says Wallace. "That's when the cop replied, 'Okay, I'm going to have to arrest you.'"

Disney dumped the chump. They booted the CEO that went totally woke ;who destroyed their brand ;who made their stock garbage losing more than half its value .Good riddence Bob Chapek. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
All he did was destroy a century long reputation that the company was family friendly . This is a guy who managed to do the almost impossible destruction of the MCU universe with a series of shoddy TV series . He would've done the same to Star Wars if the franchise had not already been severely damaged by the prequel movies .
Previous CEO Bob Iger has been called to duty to fix the company . But Iger suffers from the same woke illusions . So I really don't see the rot in the company being cut out with this change . Chapek was just at the helm when the ship hit the iceberg. Iger steered it in that direction.

Disney is again involved in the culture wars
This one is a dozy.
Former wrestler Rhana Khan is suing the world . Her allegation is that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was the ringleader in a plot to kidnap her and her children . Among Johnson's co-defendants are ,(tighten your seat belts ), The State of Texas, The El Paso Child Protective Services, the FBI, The Las Cruces, New Mexico Police Department, The NYPD, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, New York ACS, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Shirley Police Department, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Suffolk County NY, The Miz and Maryse, Heath Miller, Nikki Bella, Chris Benoit (deceased since 2007), Mark Jindrak, Panda Energy (the now-defunct company that owned TNA), Home Depot, Florida Championship Wrestling (also now defunct), Steve Keirn, The NWA, Billy Corgan, Deep South Wrestling (defunct), Bank of America, Michael Jordan, several universities, Jim Cornette, Mick Foley, New York City area energy company Con Edison and more like rapper Eminem, and model Naomi Campbell.
U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York is where the suit was filed.She got the go ahead in February to proceed .
Now when Johnny Depp was subject to being frivolously sued by his ex-wife ,Disney began looking to replace him in the 'Pirates of the Carribean 'franchise . The Rock was a logical choice .He proved to be a winner in Disney movies like 'Race to Witch Mountain' , 'The Game Plan', .Moana' , and The Jungle Cruise.
But when they got word of the absurd allegation about him ,they dropped him like a Rock.

'Jungle Cruise' was surprisingly good .
I went into it thinking it was going to be a rip off of the Bogart and Hepburn 'The African Queen' ,
It was not ;although the Disney amusement park ride was based in part by Walt Disney's love of 'The African Queen' . The similarity is that in both movies they are being pursued by Germans . 'Jungle Cruise ' is predicated on the search for a tree that has magical powers. It is more a rip off of 'Avitar ', The female heroine is more of an action figure like a female Indiana Jones than the sophisticated Hepburn .
Anyway ;The Rock is an audience magnet and if Disney is basing it's business decision on this bizzarro law suit then they are the fools .

Cori Bush, a dem (naturally) from Missouri has decided that the relatively new-found ability of the Congress to spend money it does not have will now extend to reparations to the tune of 14 trillion dollars.
How do we manage to elect people this stupid?
Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., held a press conference on Wednesday unveiling her Reparations Now resolution, which declares "that the United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its massive harm on the lives of millions." She suggested the total amount would be at least $14 trillion, which she described as the gap in wealth between Black and Whites.

You miss the bigger issue. Target is marketing female swim suits that have a "tuck-friendly" space in the crotch for male sex parts "“Thoughtfully Fit on Multiple Body Types and Gender Expressions.”
The original claim that they were marketing them for children appears to be incorrect although they are also offering a full line of LGBTQ++XZY -friendly apparel ;including children's clothes .The swim suits with space for junk are in adult sizes .
Facing a Bud Lite backlash ,Target has moved the merchandize to the back of the store in some locations . The merchandize appears to be a full line of "Pride" items .
They have a right to cater to a very small fringe and people have a right to not shop at Target . How's that working out for Bud Lite ?

Nope. Not recent either.
"The definition of 'woke' changes depending on who you ask.
The term has recently been used by some conservatives as an insult against progressive values (https://abcnews.go.com/US/debates-diversity-classroom-push-teachers-schools/story?id=88291619).
The term, however, was originally coined by progressive Black Americans and used in racial justice movements in the early to mid-1900s.
To be 'woke' politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality, Merriam-Webster Dictionary states."

There are people who are convinced someone is out to kill them when, in fact, that is not the case. There are schoolchildren coming to school who are convinced they are cats and will purr in class.

So all you can say is that you know some people who were, and are, in a state of deception.
When you try to say that some people with vaginas are men, then you join that community of deceived people.

Try giving an intelligent, informed answer rather than this ridiculous nonsense. I'll post my reply again to give you a second chance. There will be no third opportunity.
One transgender woman friend's experience --
Therapist. Begin full time presentation 24/7/365
Initiate name change, restroom letter.
Therapy until HRT letter
Endocrinology appointment, prescribes meds.
Get meds at pharmacy
Continue therapy six months after start of Hormones. Can be rough. (Psychiatrist writes letter of mental readiness?)
Prepare for surgery.
Two letters from non-affiliated therapists, one at PhD level. Surgery is serious. Two opinions required before surgery. Verification that surgery is right for that person. Make sure there is no underlying issue that could be made worse if surgery is too soon.
Surgeries
Gender changes. Depends on state policy
Update birth certificate, if possible.
Live life. Then of course new legal name on driver's license, banks, insurance, etc. Name can be whatever you want. No one is required to change.
Indicating one has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and should be allowed to use restroom of target gender. Insurance type letter stating legal reason to be there. One of the thing the restroom zealots are not aware of. We carry the letter 24/7/365. Rapists and molesters will not have said letter. No sex drive with hormones.
A high level of Estrogen in my blood and lack of some male characteristics. I have no Adams apple, never had much body hair, have always had feminine facial features, etc
I didn't fully masculinize in the womb.
Chromosome check was expensive, but it helped me transition quicker.
When did I get a DNA check? 2001. It's not essential, just another sign of dysphoria
I knew at age 7. Just couldn't do anything about it until transitioning became legal here.
No, it's not a choice. You do have to be evaluated though. Someone who says they are trans will react badly to HRT if they are just playing. They freak because they have a male mind that can't handle estrogen. Genetically I am 50% male/ 50% female. That's the 47 XXY. Yes. I am a member of the smallest minority section of trans people.

Google for more info. Talk honestly with a doctor. Her experience was very true and she acted correctly (was in her 40s) and did exactly what should be done -- counseling first. It took her five years to go thru this.
I do not agree with puberty blockers for kids and starting too early. Counseling, yes == especially regarding how to deal with bullying and mean teasing (by kids, family members, etc.).

Her mother was given estrogen etc. during her pregnancy because the doctor feared a miscarriage. DES was administered to risky cases from the '30s until the '70s. Lots of cases were unresolved, thus the spate of women now transitioning..

What's true??? Your DES nonsense has been shown to be false so many times that you are bordering on lying now, but I'll post this one more final time. Women transitioning now because of DES usage would be at least fifty years old since that was stopped in 1971. Anyone younger than that age which is, of course, the vast majority of cases, cannot appeal to that. So please stop letting that be your "go to" data since you have seen repeatedly how foolish it is. Even worse, there is no evidence that DES causes gender dysphoria. DES was stopped because it seemed to have a connection with cancer. The link below will validate what I have said. If you continue using this fake news after today, now that the truth is readily available to you, then you will be open to the accusation of lying, or at the very least having a "fast and loose" association with the truth.

What's true??? Your DES nonsense
https://rscbayarea.com/learn/male-infertility/des
Some researchers have been studying (http://www.religioustolerance.org/why-are-some-people-transgender-3.htm) the brains of MTF and FTM trans men and women using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and other measuring techniques. They have found that transgender persons have internal structures between their brain’s two hemispheres that match their current identified gender, not their birth-identified sex. Other researchers test the reactions of transgender persons’ brains to chemicals and sounds. They also find that their brains’ reactions match those of cisgender persons who share their gender identity. So, when a trans person refers to themselves as having “a female brain in a male body,” or vice-versa, their statement is factually true.

My heartiest congratulations on your posting links to two articles, neither of which gave a single shred of support for your now discounted DES theory.
As to the MRI research one of the articles discussed, there might be something there, but it's terribly suspicious that this link (researchers have been studying (http://www.religioustolerance.org/why-are-some-people-transgender-3.htm) ) turns out to be a link to nowhere. But since your absurd DES theory has been completely and totally discredited, perhaps we can proceed on in a more promising direction.
This is the first HUGE concern I have about your MRI article. There has been a significant amount of research showing that there are no significant differences between male and female brains. Oh well.
A new study dispels the myths that there’s anything fundamentally different about men's and women’s brains. In fact, most people have some sort of mix of brain features typically categorized as “male” or “female,” researchers from Israel, Germany, and Switzerland found.

From Quora:
Are there any transgender animals?
When we associate trans and gender we are talking about social behaviors that are more inline with the opposite biological sex. This can apply to any species.
Take a look at the two famous male chinstrap penguins, Roy and Silo, born 1987 in New York City’s Central Park Zoo.
They were noted by staff at the zoo in 1998 to be performing mating rituals, and one of them in 1999 attempted to hatch a rock as if it were an egg. This inspired zoo keepers to give them an egg from a pair of penguins, which could not hatch it, resulting in both of them raising a chick that was named Tango.
Tango herself was viewed in a similar situation with another female penguin. Roy and Silo drifted apart after several years, and in 2005, Silo paired with a female penguin called Scrappy. Roy and Silo's story has been made into a children’s book and featured in a play. The practice of allowing pairs of male penguin couples to adopt eggs has been repeated in other zoos around the world. Both Tango and Roy have since died.
I have a good friend who has been a farmer all of her life. Here is something she personally shared with me about living on a farm you might find interesting.
I believe I was given the privilege to grow up on a farm and to be surrounded by God’s creation-nature. You can’t help but see a pattern in which things work. Honestly, wouldn’t a God of loving kindness also create us to be able to perform within this pattern and the very roles and task at hand? Yet one would see at times that didn’t always happen. For instance, probably the thing that stood out the most was at the time of birth. Though I saw it in all forms of different life/animals. I will use cows since we had a lot of them. I was always fascinated how the cow that gave birth just knew how to take care of the new born. I believe we as humans have the same ability to be able to do these things. I think sometimes we may over think and worry about things instead of trusting what God has given us, yet every so often, we would have a cow that didn’t know how to do that. This cow often times acted more like a male cow. So often we would have to bottle feed the little calf or if we were fortunate, another cow would accept this calf as their own.
I am a post-op transgender woman and want to make one thing very clear, not all trans people are alike. Unfortunately, there are some who seem to be more into sexual fetishes, such as clothes. I only cross-dressed a few time in my youth when I was struggling with severe gender dysphoria and even then in private. My conflict actually led me to try and end my life twice just during my teenage years. All the time never understand why I felt the way I did. My identity has always been female although I was born male. My natural instincts have always been toward mothering. Even as a small child having and caring for a baby was ingrained in my heart. Children often dream of what they will be when they grow up. Some believe they will be a astronaut, while others a doctor or teacher. My dream was to be a mother.
Because I was born long before the word trans was even coined I was raised to believe that I had to conform to male expectations, yet I always knew who I was on the inside. What’s more other people saw it even when I was trying so hard to fit in with other boys. Boys avoided me because I didn’t think or play like them. In fact, I was even sexually assaulted at the age of 14, in the boys locker room at school, while only trying to live and present as male. I was not gay, but other boys saw me as female and just assumed I was. I was not attracted to men, at least as a man. What’s more I was not attracted to women, but because I wanted so badly to have children I married someone, who although presented female, didn’t not have the same nurturing instincts as I did. We had two sons and eventually split up because she started abusing them as small children. I took full custody of them at a very early age and raised them as a single parent until adulthood. The last words she spoke to me as I walked out the door with our children was, “Well you got you wish, you always wanted to be the mother.” I never tried to imply this all throughout our marriage, but she saw it.
I never understood what trans was until I broke down and went to a psychologist for help. My depression and dysphoria had gotten so bad that all I could think about was dying. When they told me what it meant to be born trans it was like a light went on in my head and I knew instantly this had been my problem all my life. When they told me the only known cure was to transition I was not excited, I was terrified. All my life I had struggled to be a man and had become very successful. To transition meant sacrificing all that I had worked so hard to build, yet I knew deep in my heart I had to try. I couldn’t go on living with my disparity. So I came out and started my transition. People were shocked. They saw the real me for the first time. People would ask me, ”How did you ever live as a man, you are so much girl on the inside?” It was like a flood gate opened up and all of me poured out. Even thought, my body was damaged by male puberty, no one questions my being a woman. Because who I am is in my heart. Did my transition change the way I think? Not in the least! I am still the same person I was before. The only difference is now I am just living as who I have always been on the inside.
It saddens me that trans has become so controversial, thanks to pridefully self-righteous people, both cis and trans. I’m not trying to upend or corrupt society, I am just living my life as the woman I have always been in my heart. I have my sons who are growing now and five adorable grandchildren who love me as the women I have always been.
I don’t walk in pride, and am a humble person who loves God and my neighbor as myself. My being trans in a way has helped a lot of people who struggle with relationships by helping them understand the struggles that are unique to both males and females.

Except, apparently, you are a pure male.There is no shred of evidence to support any of that. It has all been completely debunked by anyone who has any concern at all for the truth. That does not seem to include you.
As to the article you posted, it unsurprisingly contains not a single word about DES. It is nothing more than a series of recollections by a person plainly biased towards the TG position. Now there might be some biological connection to the TG situation, but you have so far failed to find it, and I doubt that you will. We'll see, but appealing to the occasional peculiar behaviors of animals is as silly as saying we should eat each other because, after all, that's what they do in the animal kingdom.

This has been shown to you many times, but you ignore that because it is inconvenient for your narrative.
