A Modest Mind Warp

In our current culture/society it's estimated that 1 in 10,000 children have gender identity disorder.  That appears to mean 1 in 10,000 boys think they are really girls and 1 in 10,000 girls think they are really boys.  Sex change treatment is more common for kids than I thought.  Four years old seems a bit young, but then I'm not the kid or one of the parents.

I wonder if we had a bit broader range of acceptable male and female attributes and behaviors, would the surgeries  be needed at all?   Could we live in a world of with four heterosexual genders:  male-males, female-females, male-females, and female males?  That might be a more tolerant place or would it?  If that's a bit confusing, add in same sex to the mix.  Like I said, modest mind warp.

Sex-changing treatment for kids: It's on the rise
