. Those are all subjective, gender is an objective fact. Also, I would not say any of those things that allowed a person to live in a delusional world. Humoring a person with this condition is nothing but enabling- I guess that only applies to people who come in to direct contact with him.

We say lots of things that aren't true in the interest of diplomacy and out of genuine concern for people's feelings. Pronoun use is such small potatos.

Humoring a person with this condition is nothing but enabling- I guess that only applies to people who come in to direct contact with him. If you don't come in to direct contact with him and refer to him with feminine pronouns it just contributes to the mythology that facts just don't matter. Biological sex is objective-gender is not. The state of a biological sex "male" or "female" is a very narrow one, and generally correllated(but not always)with the broader gender category of "man" or "woman", as gender in the modern sense is often used to refer to gender identity, which refers more to social, behavorial, and psychological factors, and how said person views and experiences their gender identity. And there's nothing delusional on my end; I know I'll never have XX chromosomes(and thus not "biologically" female) but honestly that doesn't bother me, as it has zero effect on my daily life. As far as I'm concerned, the only people that have any right to inquire about my chromosomes are people interested in reproduction with me, and genitals those interested in going to bed. |

Sorry, but no. Biological sex is invariably linked to gender- or people wouldn't have to take drugs to quash their biology so that they can "identify" as another gender. If I put on black face can I play the race card? View Quote Actually no, they're correlated but not inextricably linked-because people do NOT "need" hormones to identify as the other gender, we already have that identity due to neurological development during gestation, but for some hormones, and occasionally surgery, reduce the distress due to the mismatch-as no one else has yet to come up with a more effective solution. I totally understand I'll always be biologically male-but I simply don't care. Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, the term of 'gender' in modern colloquial usage had expanded to include the social, psychological, and neurological aspects surrounding the concepts of 'masculinity' and 'feminity' in a broader-and ultimately more applicable and useful-context. Race is more applicable to sex, and really indicates how poor your understanding of the topic is. There is no racial differentation during gestation on a physical and mental level the same way there is for sex, where the physical sexual differentiation happens in early gestation, and the neurological differentation-the one that results in gender identity, i.e. The sense of being 'male' or 'female'-in the latter stages. We know beyond any credible argument that hormonal shifts can cause developmental inconsistencies for physical sex, and there's growing evidence the same potential exists for the neurological stages. Look, I'm someone affected by this(and I think we've even had a beer at FEMA camp) so it would probably be worth taking a minute to grok the fact that someone you knew is telling you "dude, it really isn't that simple." I meant I've accepted your ar500 armor silliness, and don't rub in my ceramic plate master race status. |

Meh. She's trans, and tells people she is. She isn't some predator trying to give someone a pickle surprise. In the second episode, she went to a soccer conditioning camp just prior to starting high school, and asked the high schoolers if people are more accepting at that age. They promptly told her "no one gives a shit about your feelings." Straight up. So she isn't trying to go incognito or move. She just wants to be an average girl, but what I gather is that she doesn't quite understand the dynamic that straight boys aren't going to be nipping at her heels (or any other parts) and that she is effectively only going to attract gay/bi kids. At 13, self-identified LGBT kids aren't exactly in excessive supply. So, back to my original statement... She seems nice. She'll be fine when she gets to college. The goal isn't to trick everyone.

If the megaphoning of the *new you* is important, you weren't doing the change for mental tranquility, you are merely an ATTENTION whore and I am using the whore part as the phrase just goes that way.

Actually no, they're correlated but not inextricably linked-because people do NOT "need" hormones to identify as the other gender, we already have that identity due to neurological development during gestation, but for some hormones, and occasionally surgery, reduce the distress due to the mismatch-as no one else has yet to come up with a more effective solution. I totally understand I'll always be biologically male-but I simply don't care. Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, the term of 'gender' in modern colloquial usage had expanded to include the social, psychological, and neurological aspects surrounding the concepts of 'masculinity' and 'feminity' in a broader-and ultimately more applicable and useful-context. Race is more applicable to sex, and really indicates how poor your understanding of the topic is. There is no racial differentation during gestation on a physical and mental level the same way there is for sex, where the physical sexual differentiation happens in early gestation, and the neurological differentation-the one that results in gender identity, i.e. The sense of being 'male' or 'female'-in the latter stages. We know beyond any credible argument that hormonal shifts can cause developmental inconsistencies for physical sex, and there's growing evidence the same potential exists for the neurological stages. Look, I'm someone affected by this(and I think we've even had a beer at FEMA camp) so it would probably be worth taking a minute to grok the fact that someone you knew is telling you "dude, it really isn't that simple."

"I identify with" is the beginning of usually the dumbest fucking conversations ever...statistically speaking (other than, "I voted for Obama").
The people are suffering from a mental condition and should be treated as such. If you have a fucking Y chromosome; you're a dude. No matter how you butcher yourself with surgery or drug yourself up with hormones. |

Tolerance is just that. We don't have to approve, we don't have to like you, we just can't do anything to you because of it.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote Quoted For Truth There are many things I don't approve of personally, that I don't like, that I wouldn't like you if you did them, but the whole my leg/my pocket thing applies. I think that some things however, ie abortion or giving your children hormones to quash their biology, is pretty close to the line and arguable. They do affect others, with no ability to make their own decisions. |

Interesting continuation - but it kind of goes with this thread.
Locally we had a transgender that goes by the name of "Mercedes" killed. (Why don't they ever pick names like "Sue?") Anyway he was killed by a latino gang member (so many ways to go with this event, so many points to make.) The article goes on to say that he is the 9th transgender to be killed this year. I don't know if that's a statistical anomaly. Let's say 8 thousand homicides in half a year that means transgenders make up about 0.1% of the murder rate, I doubt they make up that percent of the population, but stand by to be corrected with a reliable source. How many of those do you suppose were killed in a crime of passion, when their would be lover discovered the pickle surprise? I imagine being a transgender looking for love is kind of like selling fake drugs. |
