Perhaps the German authorities (and our Gender physicians) need to study the realities of what they are promoting!
I Reference a paper from Lancet of October 2021 titled:
‘Mortality trends over five decades in adult transgender people receiving hormone treatment: a report from the Amsterdam cohort of gender dysphoria’
Findings:
Between 1972 and 2018, 8,831 people visited the gender identity clinic. 4263 were excluded from the study for a variety of reasons, and 2927 transgender women and 1641 transgender men were included in the study, with a total follow-up time of 40,232 person-years for transgender women and 17,,285 person-years for transgender men.
During follow-up, 317 (10·8%) transgender women died, which was higher than expected compared with general population men (SMR 1·8, 95% CI 1·6–2·0) and general population women (SMR 2·8, 2·5–3·1).
Cause-specific mortality in transgender women was high for cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, HIV-related disease, and suicide. In transgender men, 44 people (2·7%) died, which was higher than expected compared with general population women (SMR 1·8, 95% CI 1·3–2·4) but not general population men (SMR 1·2, 95% CI 0·9–1·6). Cause-specific death in transgender men was high for non-natural causes of death. No decreasing trend in mortality risk was observed over the five decades studied.
Just a thought, and perhaps a likely oversimplification, when trying to understand the German’s thinking, might be found in the observation that the German culture always been much more inclusive and tolerant of a more liberal expression of behavior which has a sexual component. I would expect the drag queen culture to have blossomed in say downtown Hamburg.
Gender identity will have found predictable fertile ground in Germany, so the collusion of us , as part of the” stiff upper lip “ Anglosphere is a tad counterintuitive? Thoughts?
Yes Bernard, if you saw that interview where acceptance of gender identity, facilitating affirmative care is just one step forward towards “ trans humanism “, courtesy of the relentless progressive of the science of
Relentless progression of the in vitro science, where the future of concocted gametes beckons , and we get to produce humans! Sounds far fetched? Perhaps it is but who would be shocked if such happens, and gender identity will have played its part in facilitating such an “ achievement “?

That is just very sad.

That would certainly work with the framing of trans as the next civil rights cause after gay lib.
