That's sex, not gender. But thanks for your input.

Well, he's referring to the genetics that refer to the sex, which doesn't necessarily refer to the gender.

genetics is a lot sloppier process than most people are taught. "good enough" is how our body does things, rather than "precise! accurate! everytime!". most errors don't amount to anything. sometimes they produce something new and positive, sometimes it's detrimental, sometimes it's both, sometimes neither, but mainly it just goes unnoticed. the environment can influence which of these new things survive or not from generation to generation, pushing to a potentially new fitness peak, but that's a longer conversation (yay evolution!)

basically, xy, xx are usually what we have. but there's no genetic reason it can't be more or less or different. xxy, xxx, xyx, xxxy, xy female presenting, xx male presenting, and others, are all things that happen. and some can go completely unnoticed. or they can really change one's experience from the expected experience of the presenting sex, physically and mentally. just to throw it out there, folks who have these things are not somehow "lesser" or "wrong". we're all just our genetics.

nature is weird. usually when a person tells you certain people have to be a certain way because genetics, you can assume they probably don't know much about genetics.

Well there are also hermaphrodites who you never hear about any more because the transvestites are screaming louder and louder ever day. One was "born that way" and the other...
...well where do they get the money for all these operations anyhow?!?!

Transvestite should not be confused with transgender or transsexual; transvestites are happy with their gender and have no desire to change their sex, but simply enjoy being able to cross-dress from time to time. When speaking of to or about an individual who identifies as transgender, the term transvestite is seen as derogatory

Of course, of course... IMPORTANT issuea must be CLEARLY defined.

You do realise there is a number of trans people who use this site right?

And did you know that some of us prefer oranges over apples? But what has that to do with video games, and why should my preference in fruit define me as a person?

And why should my preference along with the rest of the trans community to be called transgender and not the derogatory transvestite upset you so much?

And this is the general off topic forum which is for discussing anything other than games so your statement about what does this have to do with video games makes zero sense.

 

[spotanjo3]

At the end of the day, men can't have babies

True but some women can't have babies and some women doesn't want to have a babies. I know, I know.. You are referring to men. However, that's not the point. He is talking about genders, obviously.

And therefore there is nothing to do with preference. It is about born that way. Straight is not a preference and straight can't changed to gay or lesbian at all. The same for gay born that way and gay can't changed to straight at all. it have already been proved theory.

However, this is about Genders. Move on.

 

[kuwanger]

Well, the "problem" with transvestites could be easily solved: everyone stop wearing clothes. See, simple...and, what was that? People have an issue with how people are born and want to "dress up" based upon "gender roles" and have issues when other people "dress up" with their own self-defined gender? Or just like cosplaying?

*sigh* It's almost as if the issue weren't about people having some problem with people not accepting their base biology and more with their rejecting society enforced social conventions.

People will always misunderstand others. Welcime to Earth. There are people who are enduring much harsher hardships that certainly deserve more attention and understanding then these petty issues Amanda. Have a heart, be strong, move on with your life.

Biologically there are only two genders or to be more specific two sexual "tools" in our biological make up. I'd like to hear a compelling argument as well.

"Biologically" gender isn't a thing. It wasn't until recently in human history that gender = sex. Sex and gender are not the same thing, and gender originally as a word meant quite a few things, including peoples mannerisms and roles. For instance, men having a typically womens job, such as sewing, looming, cooking, etc.

and some can go completely unnoticed.

Like chimeras, who have two sets of dna

http://vanishingtwin.com/lydia-fair...-and-the-twin-was-the-mother-of-her-children/

If she hadn't been claiming benefits, she would never have known.

Taylor Muhl is more obvious, for some reason the two sets of her dna have a different skin colour.



Life is pretty weird, if something is viable then it will happen.

It doesn't matter what set of reproduction genitalia you have (or both), the rest of your body can end up with any traits. Some of that will affect who you're attracted to, other parts will drive how you want to express yourself.

We don't look between our legs and decide it's time to start thinking like a boy or girl based on what we see.
