If you follow baseball, then you are familiar with "batting averages". In this blog, I will show you that this simple concept applies to many more situations.
There is a major discussion about "transgender". It is every place and many are very emotional about the subject. Are you? You should be and it is not because of what you might think. Let's go back to the "batting average". When someone comes forward telling us how to hit a fast ball, we want to know a little about their "batting average". Why is that? It is because, if they don't have a high "batting average" you would be stupid to trust their judgement about hitting a fast ball. When some one gives you an opinion about something, most of us first check their "batting average" before we take their opinion seriously. Do you?
Now let's look at this business of "transgender". Here we are talking about a decision that will have a major impact on the individual for many years into the future. If that is the case, how many of those have any kind of "batting average" about this subject which covers the total life of many individuals? They only know what they are thinking or experiencing for the past few days or months. How many kids have sat at the dinner table and crying that they do not want to eat this or that? Many times, but when they were a few months older they found that they really liked the food that they had rejected only a few years before. I have seen this situation many times over the past "75" years and I have also noticed that a few of those individuals continued to hate that particular food for life, I know for a fact that "zero" of those favoring talking to very young people about the trance gender have no long term experience with its impact.
Next time you hear or get into a discussion about the transgender subject with young people, you need to ask about their "batting average" on the subject for at least the past 50 or so years. If they are under 50 years old, then you can be assured that they have a very low "batting average" on the subject and thus you should just walk away. It would be like talking to a mule. When this happens, it is impossible to tell which one is the mule! Don't be a mule.
