Not only will I call Caetlyn Jenner "her" I will call her Governor (Yes I stole that joke).

I am going to say what is apparent to me, I am not adding nonsense words to my lexicon. Humans are a dimorphic species and feelings and perceptions are not going to be policed by the state.

If you want to be called "her" and someone calls you "him" it's not their fault your failing at being trans.

I like this, but at the same time not.

Like, don't care if people is whatever, just dont make me refer to you by a specific noun... it's enough trouble for me to type in another language... most of the times I'll forget it.

  1. With regard to sex, a majority of humans can be classified as biologically male or biologically female, but many humans are intersex.
  2. Gender and sex are two different things.
Good. Feeding into peoples delusional state of mind isn't going to help them in the long run.
Being transgender isn't "a delusional state of mind." People who are transgender perfectly acknowledge that their gender identity doesn't comport with their biological sex.

Outside of the fact that actual research has shown that respecting trans people drastically reduces mental stress on them. So the only real delusional state is those who think being transphobic is somehow accomplishing anything.

Trans people shouldn't be disrespected, especially when they are at their most vulnerable. It's disturbing that people would deliberately disrespect anyone, especially the people they are supposed to be taking care of. It is malpractice to deliberately mistreat people in nursing homes and the elderly should be taken care of.

On an interesting note, I am actually intersex. That was something I found out rather recently but had suspected for many years based on some personal details.

It's not any different than any other psychiatric dysphoria, and I reject politicized redefinition of words like gender.

If an adult who think's he is a parrot wants to cut his ears off or someone wants to remove their genitals whatever makes them happy but I draw the line at being compelled legally/civilly to acknowledge someone is a biological parrot.

I may get spit on lol but I'm still standing firm there is only a male and female.

Now if that man/woman wants to sleep with the same sex that's their choice. If they want to change their "identity" once again their choice. I'm not homophobic or transphobic all I'm saying is just give the LGBT community their own section. Give them their own sports, TV Shows, bathroom and etc..etc..

Now when you are mixing Transgender with the opposite sex bathrooms and having them play on the opposite sports THEN it creates a problem. You can't have a biological male who is transgender playing on the girls sports team because that's not fair to the biological girls and the same thing applies to the bathrooms because it creates discomfort.

Nothing wrong with being on TV shows with other heterosexuals' and etc..etc.. but you have to put limits on everything.

That's why the age of consent was created. Just google predator poachers and you will see what I mean

They need the like button to have an emoticon (thumbs up or laugh associated with) cause a lot of people just make me laugh even if I agree/disagree/don't care with their comment.

I call people by their preferred pronouns whenever they ask, but expecting and legally requiring everyone to do so, especially old people in nursing homes is ridiculous.

I reeeeally feel like this law was just proposed as bait to make the whole cause look bad and authoritarian. There is no better way to make your opposition angry than to try to take away their right to be angry.

Are you arguing that things like hairstyle, clothes, etc. are biologically innate? How progressive of you, Jimbo.

Trans species & racial is entirely as valid as gender. Like I said it's all just different symptomatic expressions of dysphoria.

Said nothing of the sort.

You seemed to imply there's no difference between biological sex and gender. Do you acknowledge there is, in fact, a difference? Either way, how progressive of you, Jimbo.

You seem to not understand when I clearly stated I am not adopting the Newspeak definition of gender.

A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in the same language. For example, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all synonyms of one another; they are synonymous

Are you saying gender and sex are synonymous? If so, then my previous post commending you for your progressive stance of saying things like hairstyle, clothes, etc. are biologically innate stands.
