There is only one COLOR of blood which is RED. However, there are 8 different blood TYPES.
There are four major blood groups determined by the presence or absence of two antigens, A and B, on the surface of red blood cells. In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a protein called the Rh factor, which can be either present (+) or absent (–), creating the 8 most common blood types (A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, AB-).

Yes, agree! However it is all 🩸….. so need to type for a transfusion but no black, Asian etc. differentiated blood…. Ya get a combo!!!! So, at its origins all are human!!!!!! We all have the same building blocks.
To have the only possible answer check the plumbing in your crotch. No further elaboration necessary. Anything else is contrived bullshit.

I suspect there may be some false concept involved in the formulation of your statement, but am not sure.
Maybe you are thinking that people claiming genders which are not traditionally widely accepted have psychiatric disorders.
In any case, "helping those who have a psychiatric disorder" is a tricky matter (that is, it can be delicate or error-prone (and occasionally may even be dangerous)).
Supposing you were to encounter someone with a real psychiatric disorder (surely there are none around here, but when you are out in the world...), then, if I may make a suggestion, think "respect" first, and "help" only secondly, if at all.

If you respect them you’ll want to help them. Otherwise you’re enabling a mental disorder which is a lack of respect.

Nice reply and one that makes sense. Hormonal and balances can do drastic things to people who don’t even have an issue with whether or not they are gay etc.
Over the course of my years I’ve had the opportunity to meet any number of gay people and you are correct they are very nice, very helpful usually and sensitive is what I found to be most often a part of their character profile.
It’s all these other names people have come up with to self identify which clearly shows me there is some type of mental inconsistencies in these people. Perhaps even hormonal although they seem to be at a drastic level of change jumping to transitioning when in fact there is a higher percentage of suicidal rate in those who did. It’s been said by psychiatrists that changing the physical attributes of a person does not change the mental capacity of that person and with this I agree. You can’t change the mental structure of being born what you were and always knowing that you were born that gender along with still not feeling comfortable in their own skin after having gone through so much to get there.
I don’t have an answer to it, what I do say is be what you’re going to be just don’t throw it in everybody else’s face or have a government who has absolutely no right trying to dictate what we are to believe and let these people live their life the way they want while we live our lives the way we want!

Excellent Reply!
The gays who prefer to go across the street to the cake shop who will cheerfully bake them their wedding cake over the ones who will go purposely to the bakery owned by the Christian in order to make a federal case out of his refusal to bake them a wedding cake!

No, fairy tale religion law that is not even Christian fairy tale religion doctrine.
It is not a disorder. That is a new Christian thought. Propaganda bought and paid for by the powers that be.
Their purpose, to distract political will away from their corruption.
Right now they are winning the fight to keep everyone agitated and the focus off them.
Will it escalate, probably.
Will they win, probably, they have billions of $, your efforts for which you were not fairly compensated for.
And it is world wide.
It is a cycle. Times are changing quickly right now.

Great information on hormone therapy early in life. I have never heard that mentioned! My niece wouldn’t wear a dress from 2 years old. None of us recognized her issue but I did see how tortured she was as a teenager. Amazing that it is not approached as a hormone imbalance.. seem to go straight to gender change which is so drastic. I just wonder how many are being pushed to misidentify as something other then their biological sex…. Seems to be a fad. I really like thinking of this as a hormone problem. 🙏🙏🙏

You said "hormone therapy early in life". The two people I know who had it were both male. One of them had it at about age 17, or possibly 16. The other one had it starting at about age 20. This may not be as "early" as you were thinking.
I'm not a doctor, nor an expert, in this.
I guess earlier might be okay, if doctors have some kind of numerical standard for what's normal, and the parents approve. I imagine there could be a problem when a self-aware teenage person is treated as an object and not given full information about what's going on, and/or not willing to accept such treatment. I say "problem" in the sense that it might a wrong done to that person.
I don't know whether gender self-identification in a person might depend sometimes -- or even always -- on something _other_ than hormones.
Ultimately (in my opinion) it ought to be the person himself/herself/itself who decides what he/she/it wants to be. However, depending on how young a child is, parents and doctors sometimes have to make some medical decisions for the child.

Not necessarily.
What exists or not may not be what you, or a psychiatrist, thinks it is.
Even if one relies on some authority, such as a DSM-IV or whatever the current psychiatric manual is these days, the authority might be wrong and/or harmful.
Supposing a fully informed, fully aware adult were to claim a psychiatric disorder and request one of the medically approved treatments, there'd be no ethical problem in that, and no problem about autonomy or respect. In other cases, the right course of action, if any, is not so clear.

Agree, as with my niece if we had known maybe it was a hormone problem that could have been remedied. I wonder if more to it than just XX, XY….more nuance to genetics. You appear to have more knowledge than most.
