With regard to transgendism, since when have thoughts generated reality? Allowing a male who identifies as a female to join a GLO for females is basically sponsoring the fantasy that men can become women, etc. and I would not be on board with that. That's certainly not to say gender dysphoria is not a real problem for some. What we do with it is the issue. The least invasive, more organic approach to this dysphoria would be to ease these individuals back into the reality of their bodies, not forward the medical and physical impossibility that men can become women. Treating people with kindness and dignity does not need to mean participation in a lie.
There is no "we" in this issue. It is not a "we" decision.

The decision on how to deal with gender dysphoria is not anyone's decision but the person who has gender dysphoria. It's their body. They get to decide what to do with it. Your concern for what is easiest and "least invasive" and "more organic" is misplaced. It's not your business what someone else does with their body, or what treatment someone decides to pursue.
