My beliefs are my beliefs. You can believe that someone can think about being another gender so hard that something happens and changes their body all you want. Thats your opinion.

Their body doesn't change genetically/biologically. What changes is their legal status and the social and cultural recognition of their gender. You accept them as what they say they are regardless of parts they may or may not have.

Here's a question for you, what makes you a man... is it just biology, or is it not also culture? What would you say if you went and had a blood test and they told you have 2 X chromosomes (female) instead of XY (male). Would you still think of yourself as a man, or would you start dressing and acting like a woman?

That is my whole point in this thread. I dont see how culture has anything to do with my gender.

Im not 100% but it is not possible to have 2 X chromosomes and still have male genitals is it?

It doesn't matter how you act you are what you are. When you act thats when you are in denial or pretend.

Thats what Im saying. Trying to be something else besides what you really are is all in your imagination.

[oneSLOWex]

Maybe Tom Cruise can help them....

[Sammich]

So that's the basis of your intolerance to people of this persuasion? You're not shallow much, are you? It must suck to have to live a life where people who have not had any affect on your life, yet keeps you that insecure. Glad I only have to worry about robbers and murders and other criminals. I would hate to have to add transgendered and homosexual people to that list. God help me if I accidentally breathe the same air as one of "them" and get infected.

what's shallow about being wrong?

[Total_Blender]

It doesn't matter how you act you are what you are. When you act thats when you are in denial or pretend.

So you are saying that you would start calling yourself a woman if you found out that you had 2 X chromosomes, ovaries and a uterus then. So you wouldn't be living in denial, right?

If chromosomes are so important at determining who we are then why does the organism with the most chromosomes on Earth (1,000 compared to 46 for humans) look like this:

Ophioglossum Fern



Looks like just another plant to me?

You tell me. Again, you're dodging the question. You keep telling me how you feel, not why. It's wrong isn't an answer. Later, QD.

It doesn't have male or female organs which determine its gender. So its totally different than a human being. Whats the point with the plant?

either you're blind or my 'answer' wasnt up to par to what should be an explanation to you, my answer is based on it being wrong, period. just like you have feelings of why a song is shit, your 'answer' doesnt make full sense to others, but its your answer, therefore, its valid to you

[ilovemyhonda.]

opinions are opinions, one person may think it is wrong, another may think it is okay/right. the only thing that matters is that the person involved feels comfortable with what he or she is doing.

[quickdodge®]

Nah see here's where you're wrong. Factually wrong. I always give reasons as to why I THINK a song is shit. I don't just say it's shit. and that makes it so. You're not giving any reasons as to why you THINK it's wrong. You're not backing up why you THINK it's wrong or why you don't like them. You're whole answer centers around, simply put, but hardly logical, "it's wrong."

And even an answer to explain your "it's wrong" hypothesis won't answer my question. Even if it were wrong, who cares? Why do you care? Again, what happened to you by one of these people that makes you think they should exist? I'm certainly not of that persuasion nor would I ever think to consider any form of homosexuality or trans-sexuality, but I don't find it not tolerable. I don't let it bother me simply because they don't pay my bills or or have any influence over me. Later, QD.

[Sammich]

ok

[quickdodge®]

Hahah!!! I can say though, I'm glad this discussion has stayed civil and lacked name calling and insults. I like to see this kind of talk without thinking that someone is getting all pissed off and shit.

Good job, fellas. Later, QD.

At least most of us, anyway! Kudos to the ones I'm talking about! Later, QD.

Thanks for giving me a description of a woman. Hey, lets just agree to disagree your not changing my mind and I'm not changing yours. We have differences in opinions at the end of the day I can care less about what someone is or want to call themselves I got bills to pay. Good discussion though people.

That genetics aren't as big a deal with identity politics as they are cracked up to be.

You just said it yourself, you don't need male or female sex organs to determine gender. Gender is just the way that we culturally express the characteristics associated with primary and secondary biological sex. Primary sex refers to reproductive organs, secondary sex refers to the traits that are used to distinguish the biological sexes that are not directly related to reproductive organs.

While primary sex characteristics are biological and can't be changed completely, secondary sex characteristics are entirely changeable, and are not absolutely connected to primary sex traits... there are hairy, deep voiced women, etc.

So really while these people cannot change their primary sex characteristics, they can change their secondary sex characteristics and the social/cultural associations that come with them.

[oneSLOWex]

So, How many of you lurking people are scared to say something? I know you all have to have an opinion...I have seen half of you viewing the thread all day long.


LOL cmon now

+94 for you. TB and oneslowex, I'll get you in a bit. Ran out of time. Felt good to have a decent talk with folks of differing opinions and get some feedback. Later, QD.

That doesnt make them change what they are just because one sounds,acts, and looks like something doesnt mean they are what they're cut out to be.

I was talking about why you would bring a plant into this discussion when it has no place. Thats what I meant.

So if they cannot change their primary characteristics, that still makes them either a man or a woman whether they like it or not. Even if they have a piece of paper saying they are what they are not.

Interesting discussion for sure. I respect the views of others whether it seems that way or not.

Same should go for everyone. Not everyone has the same outlook on a certain topic and most people stand strong by what they believe in. Doesn't mean you have to change the way others think or that they have to change the way you think. Makes for good conversation/debate but shouldn't be taken seriously to start a fight.

[quickdodge®]

Doesn't mean you have to change the way others think or that they have to change the way you think.

That's what I said earlier. Not trying to change you, but just trying to toss up some thoughts. Later, QD.

From what I've seen everyone has been civil. Except one but does he count

Exactly. If everyone had the same view about every topic, conversation would be greatly boring.

I was just throwing my in. lol

Oh ok icey.

I think she was saying that we shouldn't judge someone negatively based on their lifestyle choices we may not personally agree with.

Like if I called ya a tight pants wearing twilight kid because you drive a silver VW.

[ilovemyhonda.]

Oh ok icey.

you bringing me an icey? thanks, i could use it. i woke up with strep throat.

[MistaCee]

you bringing me an icey? thanks, i could use it. i woke up with strep throat.

Yea I'll bring you a icey hot from the microwave. I don't talk to strangers remember? Especially ones that say I'm mean.

According to you and your definitions. But you don't have the moral authority to define other peoples lives for them.

You may say I don't matter... I say you don't matter, in the end neither of us matter. Enjoy your self-righteous indignation at things you cannot change while you can, life is short.

[Total_Blender]

I drive a yellow VW

Then you know all about gender associations.

You want to decide other people's lives for them based on your own personal prejudices. Is there another word for that?
