Even child can figure it out.

X and Y chromosomes. Follow the science.

The science says humans are generally born with 23 sets of chromomes for a total of 46 and that 'atypical' females possess XX sex chromosones while 'atypical' males possess XY. It also says that alterations can and do occur to such due to mutations, much in the same way that chromosomal defeats and/or translocations exist within individuals born with particular physical and/or mental handicaps such as Down's Syndrome, etc, which is caused by possessing an extra chromosome.

As such, people can be born born X (Turner Syndrome), XX (atypical female), XXX (Trisomy), XY (atypical male), XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome), XYY, etc. and sometimes even a combination of XX and XY (Mosaics) most commonly known as 'intersex'.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that one's genetic makeup can and does affect one's physical, mental, psychological and/or emotional health and that sex/gender are not as simplistic contructs as some would have you believe.

You are talking about extreme outliers. If someone has a genetic DEFECT, then one can make a case but not for someone larping that they don't possess a y chromosome.

You lost me at 'larping'. I have no idea what you're talking about.

While I get there are cases that aren't clear cut and if someone possesses intrasex qualities, I'm up for a discussion, but someone pretending (or larping -Live action role playing) that they are a woman while they possess a Y chromosome is not reality.

Gender has always meant sex until a pedo from the 50's decided to muddy the water. John Money.

So it's the gender dysphoria and transgender issue you have a problem with more than anything else. Okay, I do in fact see where you're coming from.

Personally, I tend to view the matter from two sides. On one hand, I don't think those people are actually pretending (within their own minds) they're in the wrong body and therefore feel a need to seek out medical intervention to change their outer physique in order to match their inner reality.

On the other hand, I also recognize the fact that no amount of surgery will ever change the genetic and structural composition a person is born with. Decades into the future, should that person's body be exhumed and examined for whatever reason, any scientific expert would automatically assess the sex of that individual to be that which they were born as based exclusively on their bones. There's no denying male and female skeletal anatomies are not the same.

From my persective, it's really a mental health issue more than anything else. If having a sex change makes someone feel more aligned and happier within themselves, I have no problem with it. Nor do I think they actually pose any type of threat to anyone else.

Bullshit. So all of a sudden there's this rise of person with crossed wires in the brain? It's called transtrenderism and many are doing it to gain an identity and garner victim points and to fit into a social group. Now trannies back when it was completely socially abhorrent, I'd be interested to see what the brain scans showed. But that would also be an outlier and indication something is wrong.

Yeah, probably less than babies that are aborted due to incest.

Bones only hold evidence of the DNA, not the logic or feeling of the being the bones belonged to, you know, what makes us ALIVE.

That doesn't dispute his point in the slightest.

Just adding gravy to the entree...

Fair enough! Sometimes ones needs to prod to get to a meaty conversation.
