Some opinions:

1 - I think 90% of so-called "gender dysphoria" in children, specifically in boys, is the result of either liberal parents wanting to brag about how "enlightened" they are and "persuading" their children to go along with it, or parents, usually mothers, who wanted a girl and got a ...

It was C.S. Lewis who gave us the insight that

The only thing you have to worry about is what to ...

Software development, ah yes.
