the emperor's transgender's new clothes syndrome = don't dare define their problem as being psychological, otherwise you're transphobic!.
There has been cases were transgender males have been locked up and asked to be put in a female prison and then go on and abuse the female prisoners.
Does Bob use the male or female toilets or do they have a "they" toilet.
Does Bob get to put a dress on and walk in a ladies changing room?

hello all, i'm 'researching', a jw who is in the first steps of taking a look at their beliefs.. i've semi-recently (about a couple weeks ago) heard about the sexual abuse cases (pennsylvania attorney general’s investigation request) and then the arc in 2015. this lead to a deep investigation, which lead to many questions arising.
a jw friend of mine suggested i be careful (due to apostates) and ask the brothers.
so i typed up my questions + concerns and emailed an elder my mother has known for a long time.
Don't what country your in , that's probably kept to yourself but in the UK you could try calling the Samaritans they will listen and be able to access the help you need,

Research if this is affecting your mental health you need to make a appointment to see your doctor and explain the issues with your mother etc they will be able to refer you to get professional help
a picture so embarrassing, even wtbts inc does not want to describe it?
this week's study, no 52, march 1 2020 wt dec 1919. picture description (on page 27) for pages 23 and 26 but not for the one on page 24, too embarrassing?
picture it, page 24. the wt lady, with a head volume ~8 times that of the gentlemen sitting behind her, eager to have her voice boom in the kingdom hall, raising arms with 3 other "sisters", whereas all 4 males are abstaining.
Not that many people have smiles on their faces at the hall I attended.
Wife's are expected to answer up so the husband can progress and she can then be in the elders wife's club then only have to answer every now and again same with the children.
how the wbts has definitely broken confidentiality in their own words!!!.
proverbs 25:9 "do not reveal what you were told confidentially".
a body of odours letter refers to this verse and instructs them when handling congregational matters involving legal issues.if an elder were to breach this (minister-communicant privilege prevents any body of odour from revealing things said in private to him by a member), then he automatically waivers the minister-client privilege.
A po of a former congregation I was in kept things confidential about the things his family got up to underage drinking and sex .
It was revealed many years later
going to see this year .
nick mason's saucerful of secrets.. steve hackett seconds out.

Yes as a former elder if someone confessed to wrongdoing the first thing you were instructed to do was to let the po know because he may be aware of other instances then the elders gathered at the end of a meeting and then rest of elders would be made aware that bro/sis done this or that , then when 3 elders meet with the person then the body of elders would be made aware of that also.
So yes no real confidential
going to see this year .
