I'm not watching that video based on the thumbnail because it looks absolutely pointless. I was trying to lighten the mood......... heh. It was an animation video of the Yahoo!

Look, there is no way we are going to meet in the middle, I don't even think my transgender or transsexual (again, why are these both synonyms??????) are actually changed genders, and I've had this discussion with them respectfully. I totally support what they are doing, their life style, how they want to identify, but I am 100% solid that God (and since I imagine you don't believe: The universe, the world, atoms, chance, genetics, DNA) made you something, you can't change it. You can't change your race, your gender, where you were born, your past. It just doesn't work that way. But I hold you to a tremendous level of respect and I know this is a dead end so I'm just going to bow my head out and walk away. But I stand firmly in math and science, and someone feeling a certain way ... as much as I care about them and support them... doesn't ... alter reality. We aren't in some trippy LSD world where you can think an elephant in to existence. We are mortals in this flesh, and feelings don't matter. They matter to me, as a friend to hypothetical person, but they don't matter to the actual world.

Definitions:
gender /jendr/ noun the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones). sex /seks/ noun either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions. One is biological, one is not. They are not synonyms. One is a social construct and one has do to with reproductive functions. They are not synonyms. --- https://imgur.com/4ihiyS2 "I am not gay!

There's only two sex organs. There is receive and give. Sperm and egg. On or off. Dark or light. In and out. We. Are. A. Binary. Species. But that's not binary, because there are intermediates. They're typically called "ambiguous genitalia," resulting from any number of aberrations in the sexual differentiation process. That's also ignoring that there are more factors involved than just genitals. Hormones, gonads, external genitalia, internal reproductive organs, bone structure, secondary sexual characteristics, neurological makeup... Typically, they all line up with one sex or the other, but as I said, it's not at all unheard of for one or more of them to deviate. And that's even without considering the psychological aspects. If it is possible to exist somewhere between the two extremes, then, by definition, it's not a binary system. Kyuubi4269 posted... _AdjI_ posted...Not really. There's a fairly broad range of conditions that can result in some degree of hermaphroditism Keep reading, the last sentence of the post addresses that. MannerSaurus posted... Facts do not care about your feelings. They do if you're making factual statements about your feelings. It is factually accurate to state that I feel happy right now. It is also factually accurate to state that I feel masculine right now. Why would it be any less factually accurate for somebody else to make the same statement? --- This is my signature.

Definitions: Webster recently updated "assault rifle" to include semi-automatic weapons, when, they are not. Assault rifles have an exact definition, no matter what the Liberal hysteria after Sandy Hook caused Webster to change the definition of, "assault rifle" is not a semi-automatic weapon and has an exact definition. --- Hoppe hoppe Reiter, und kein Engel steigt herab mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter, NUR DER REGEN WEINT AM GRAB ...

He's not going to be physically black, no, but he could certainly be sufficiently involved in the culture of a black community as to count himself among them. That's a very real and practical reason to think of himself as being black, though in doing so he has to bear in mind that he is going to miss out on some of that experience simply because he won't be treated as a visible minority by others (much like a trans woman isn't going to experience any of the troubles associated with having periods). The concept of communities having honorary members like that is certainly nothing new, even if those communities are largely drawn along visible physical lines. --- This is my signature.

Assault rifles have an exact definition, no matter what the Liberal hysteria after Sandy Hook caused Webster to change the definition of, "assault rifle" is not a semi-automatic weapon and has an exact definition. And that definition includes semi-automatic weapons now. Languages evolve, deal with it. Well, except for adding "virtually" as a definition for "literally." That particular bit of linguistic evolution can go fellate a goat while sodomizing itself with a cactus. English does not need another word that is its own antonym. --- This is my signature.

Language doesn't evolve because a few "scare everybody" reporters and panicking Liberal moms want it to. (Talking about guns here, not the sex/gender thing.) Assault Rifle has an exact usage in technological armory invention and usage. You are 100% wrong on this, son. In 50 years, my pistol will not be an "assault rifle" because Webster thinks it is after school shootings start happening with pistols. Sorry. It's a pistol.

Language doesn't evolve because a few "scare everybody" reporters and panicking Liberal moms want it to. Correct. It evolves because the usage of the word changes as people want/need it to. Words only ever have the meaning that people give to them. If enough people start using a word a new way, that becomes a new definition for the word. Is that always a good thing? Of course not. Like any natural evolutionary process, there's no end goal. That doesn't change that it's going to happen, though, and you need to deal with that. If the direction it's evolving is bad, or less efficient, you can resist that, but if you try to resist it by pretending it's not happening, you're just going to end up communicating poorly because you're ignoring how words are used. --- This is my signature.

I'm siding with Jen on this one. If they were the same we wouldn't have separate words. Eh, I wouldn't say that. English is an utter cesspool of redundancy. There are a great many words that have no purpose except to be an alternative to other words, especially when you start looking at ones that are used as euphemisms for no-no words. The evolution of "gender" into its own term is very much a matter of erasing that redundancy, not anything that should suggest it's never been redundant. TheCyborgNinja posted... Ummm... no. It takes every fibre of my being not to punch couples who say "we're pregnant" in the face. Unless it's literally both of you carrying babies, like a lesbian couple who have both got one, shut the fuck up. Eh, I'm fine with that. It's a little awkward, and I personally wouldn't say it, but it's basically the same as "we're expecting," making the point that they are both having a child and not foisting parenthood off on the mother.
