@darien75 First off, you are welcome to be offended by a cuss word if you are that sensitive, it doesn't bother me. I don't remember any rule one couldn't cuss on here. Second, I never said l had an issue with gender equality, sexual orientation or if you have kids in or out of wedlock or not for that matter. I plainly said if you want to dress up as, and act as the opposite sex you were born, that's perfectly fine. Surely you understand the difference. What l said there is not based on attitude or belief, it is just plain science. Either you have a Y chromosome or you don't. So how about you just answer my question. Would you send a cross dressing rapist into a women's prison? And by the way, you telling me to take my comment down was pretty arrogant, and rather damn funny to boot. This is a public page, not your private group. Thanks for the chuckle all the same. ?

@darien75 Typical left wing liberal idiot comment!

@darien75 Your the scum!

@darien75 creating ideas indeed ...."there is nothing new under the sun", just rehash and different window dressing, unless it is new science.

@darien75 well, then, tell me something you think is new......

@darien75 That's ludicrous. What's to keep every person on the earth from making up their own specific gender to describe how they perceive themselves? 7.7 billion genders b/c everyone wants to force others to recognize them as a snowflake is what you are supporting essentially.

@darien75 Any way you want to twist the issue....a person may shoot blanks / be infertile but this is not the key if your original question.
I guess you only want comments that agree with yours.

@darien75 You just proved my previews words.

@darien75 well said and unfortunately too true.

@darien75 The times those words come up in my studies is rather scary.

@darien75 NAZIs and authoritarian viewpoints. People will easily follow immoral orders for a plethora of reasons. Experiments by Stanley Milgram & Zimbardo support this. The masses mainly just want to get on with the life presented to them without thought or change. Tell them what to do, act and think and they'll be happy. Questions produce doubt and uncertainty then fear. Frightened people en-masse do stupid things in great quantity. Studies in the new year will be about gender issues across psychology and sociology

@darien75 If you split hairs and differentiate gender from sex, then ok (gender being how your present your sex to the world, sex being chromosomes you are born with). I did not differentiate b/w, so gender = sex. Back to my point though, if you are born with XY chromosomes (male), I don't care how you identify personally, but expecting to play women's sports, or held to physical requirements for military service, or using it to garner special treatment in criminal or family law courts is not cool. I would add on that last part that sexism in the court system shouldn't exist to begin with, but it does.

@darien75 According to this, and I am no medical professional nor can discern the exact definitions used to come up with statistics, it ranges from 0.05% (ambiguous genitalia) of the population, to 1.7% (many variations combined, but no definition of the variants) of the population (equal to redheads). I assume this second statistic includes those that are born one sex, but identify with the cultural norms of another.

So in your opinion, college campuses, summer camps, and every business with bathrooms should create separate housing and bathroom facilities for 0.05% of the population that are born hermaphrodite? What about those that just want to identify as something different. Instead of the reasonable request they accommodate with the Men/Women definition we have today, you want to force women on college campuses to live with a man - all b/c he/she/it says they 'feel' like a women. Sorry, I don't care about your feelings, I care about your facts - and the fact is forcing 50-100 women to be uncomfortable with living with a man just b/c he wants to is unreasonable. Having the campus build a separate housing area for them, or only for red-heads, is also unreasonable. And allowing a man to compete and dominate sporting events where every other participant is working within the confines of a woman's body (physical strength, endurance, etc) is again unreasonable.

Your little tirade about how insensitive and backwards I am is all fine, but you have yet provided any reasonable argument or solution to the real world problems such pandering would create. Care to step up and give an intelligent argument, not just an emotional one with personal attacks against me? But wait, that might include science...which you called 'garbage' I believe. I don't think that position is going to win you many supports, since most people on here accept science over religious 'feelings', be it supernatural or genitalia based religion.

@jondspen A hermaphrodite self identifies as female gets a beard at puberty. Or self identifies as a boy gets breasts.
What then?
Is the brain or the body right?
