Serious note on the nanchuk scene.
This represents a deeply ingrained adversely developed culture.
All cultures are equal though of course.

"Texas jury: Father can’t stop chemical castration, gender change of seven-year-old son"

"a jury in Texas has ruled against a father’s petition for sole custody of his twin seven-year-old boys as a means to protect one from undergoing hormonal gender-change therapy at the hands of his mother."
I have a sneaky suspicion the mother does not have the child's interests at heart. Surely she can't be acting out of sheer spite in any case?
