Most parents don't expect any of their kids to ever become a transgender person.

However, throughout the ages, kids don't always live up to their parents expectations or limitations. That's because they have their own lives to experience.

Of course some parents will disown them, or sometimes they will disown their parents.

Some people might wait until they are past their teens to transition.

Some people might never want to change their gender and just live as they are, or as a fluid person. No one should ever be pressured to change and no one should have to be stuck in a gender that they aren't comfortable with, either. Who should control the lives_and_careers of people, the system or the person? It's all about Freedom-of-Choice.

The concept of Reincarnation is very controversial in the Western World, as it might be indicative of the-Simulation Hypothesis.

Alastair and The Sims...

Alastair_Sim was a human actor that stared in the Scrooge_(1951_film), in which he encountered a few sim like ghosts in his earthly reality. The concept of sentient entities or ghosts from a different frequency of the universe that can temporarily intersect and interact on this dimensional plane of existence, has been around since ancient times.

https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Ghost

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/ts4-ghosts

"A guide to all ghost powers and abilities in The Sims 4, including interactions with other sims and with objects." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgT8eaCsdg4 , https://www.youtube.com/c/PeteyPlaysIt/videos

So what if Alastair_Sim as the Scrooge character, was in a simulation story interacting with sim-ghosts? What if this world is part of some kind of a cosmic construct of reality? 

"The Sims series is part of the larger Sim series, started by SimCity in 1989."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims

The 3D characters & the ghosts are all sims in the computer game & program.

Charles_Dickens was essentially writing about ghost-sims in the earth reality or simulation back in the 1840s.

A world where ghosts, vampires, monsters, tricksters and Jokers can pop in or out of this reality in an instance.

Elon+Musk: Are We Living in a Simulation?

"Among popular public thinkers advocating for the simulation hypothesis is Elon Musk who stated: if you assume any rate of improvement at all, games will eventually be indistinguishable from reality“ before concluding “that its most likely we’re in a simulation. Elon Musk is known in the philosophical community to make "outrageous" claims, whether its about the advent of digital superintelligence, or in this case, according to some skeptics of the simulation hypothesis, Elon Musk exaggerates the probability that we might be living in a simulation. Another high-profile proponent to the hypothesis is famous astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, who said in an NBC news interview that the hypothesis is correct giving “better than 50-50 odds” and adding: I wish I could summon a strong argument against it, but I can find none In a review of the literature on simulated realities, philosopher Nick Bostrom argues that although it is difficult to prove that we are living in a simulation, "It is nevertheless generally considered acceptable philosophy to question the reality of our own existence. A typical member of an advanced civilization would have a high probability of being among the simulated minds rather than among the original biological ones. Therefore, if we are typical, we should consider that we might be living in a simulation. Thus, the possibility that we are living in a simulation is greater than we might have supposed. Some hypotheses hold that if it is possible to simulate reality, then it is also possible to leave behind copies of everyone within these simulations. It has further been suggested that these simulated people may be conscious or sentient, although this idea belongs more in the realm of philosophy rather than scientific inquiry.  

Although the simulation hypothesis has sound philosophical arguments, before its taken seriously scientifically, proponents of the hypothesis have to produce experiments to support the idea with evidence." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3VPRow8xI4 , https://www.youtube.com/c/ScienceTime24/videos
