    Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex (i.e., the state of being male, female, or an intersex variation), sex-based social structures (i.e., gender roles), or gender identity.

    Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[1][2] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences[4][5] and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO).

    --


    In linguistics, grammatical gender is a specific form of noun class system in which the division of noun classes forms an agreement system with another aspect of the language, such as adjectives, articles, pronouns, or verbs. This system is used in approximately one quarter of the world's languages. In these languages, most or all nouns inherently carry one value of the grammatical category called gender;[2] the values present in a given language (of which there are usually two or three) are called the genders of that language. According to one definition: "Genders are classes of nouns reflected in the behaviour of associated words."[3][4][5]

    Common gender divisions include masculine and feminine; masculine, feminine and neuter; or animate and inanimate. In a few languages, the gender assignment of nouns is solely determined by their meaning or attributes, like biological sex,[6] humanness, animacy.[7] However, in most languages, this semantic division is only partially valid, and many nouns may belong to a gender category that contrasts with their meaning (e.g. the word for "manliness" could be of feminine gender).[8] In this case, the gender assignment can also be influenced by the morphology or phonology of the noun, or in some cases can be apparently arbitrary.

    John William Money
    (8 July 1921 – 7 July 2006) was a psychologist, sexologist and author, specializing in research into sexual identity and biology of gender. He was one of the first scientists to study the psychology of sexual fluidity and how the societal constructs of "gender" affect an individual. More recent academic studies have criticized Money's work in many respects, particularly in regards to his involvement with the sex-reassignment of David Reimer[1] and his eventual suicide. Money's writing has been translated into many languages, and includes around 2,000 articles, books, chapters and reviews. He received around 65 honors, awards, and degrees in his lifetime.





    Simon LeVay (born 28 August 1943) is a British-American neuroscientist. He is renowned for his studies about brain structures and sexual orientation.

    LeVay's finding was widely reported in the media.[3] LeVay openly related his research to his own homosexuality and to his mourning over his lover's death from AIDS.[4] LeVay cautioned against misinterpreting his findings in a 1994 interview: "It’s important to stress what I didn’t find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn't show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain. The INAH3 is less likely to be the sole gay nucleus of the brain than a part of a chain of nuclei engaged in men and women's sexual behavior."

    It is 'choice' and NOT biological. For the longest time now, we have been trying to see if any LGBT acts are due to biological reasons and now they are coming around to admit that it is nothing more than personal choice, which should have been left at that from the very beginnning.

    Before I go any further, what do these two sentences have to do with one another? And are you tilting a windmill here, or did I say somewhere that "genitals are the only function of gender"? Because I sure don't remember saying that.

    Did she finally tell the class how many genders there are? There seems to be a new one arriving each week.

    The problem with this argument is that nothing in Christianity, and nothing you've presented here, says that there are more than two spiritual genders either.

    And, I don't usually quote from the bible, but here it really seems pertinent to the subject.

    So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Gen 1:27

    This isn't about concepts, it's about reality - which has become your enemy.

    And excepting those with congenital physical defects, every last one of them is mentally ill.

    Of course I could, but I'm pretty sure you'd just take it as yet another opportunity to engender confusion.

    Oh sure, I just know that if I insisted I was the Emperor Charlemagne, you'd fall all over yourself to address me accordingly.

    If I had to address you at all I'd let go a few "Your Highnesses". Why not. ( though I'd probably avoid you rather scrupulously. I've been told I look rather Saxon once or twice

    You're evading my question, WHY does what gender a person wants to see themselves as bother you so? There isn't yet any law, custom or regulation that says you HAVE to associate with a transgender or with ANYONE for that matter. You CAN just leave the poor shamus ALONE, why in **** don't you? How in HELL is it any of YOUR ****** business anyway?

    Actually you are wrong or lying about what has been cited from the university. What was published by faux news was the letter the student received detailing the reason for his removal and what he needed to do in order to return. The student is allowed to quote correspondence with himself, however the school has not made any statement regarding his status because they do not give out student info to the press by law. The student can release whatever correspondence they receive on their own. Do be correct and understand what you are talking about when you seek to correct someone else. It is often good when you are trying to show you know something that you do not get things so completely wrong.

    The student was disruptive in class and removed for it. There is well within the school's operation and rules and was clearly stated to Mr fauxtard student and faux news even published the letter to him showing he was making stuff up about this being in regards to oppressing his freedom of speech. Please do a little better in trying to argue against me next time.

    I do not have time to teach you how to comprehend English. I make an entire statement and you have to deal with that. What I said was clear and not mistyped so I am not playing your game. Please ask someone around you to help you with your reading comprehension if that statement was a problem because I really feel this is more of an attempt kept to derail the discussion as I clearly expressed my views the first time.

    It is not that the bible says there is more than two gender but rather that the bible maintains the soul as separate from the body so if that is the case there is the possibility of a female soul in a male body or vice versa. God may be infallible, but that does not mean that the process of placing a soul from where they are stored in heaven into the body is beyond placing a female soul in a male body or vice versa. So we can only assume since God is the only perfect being and God is not doing this that either a mistake can be made by the process, or it is by design transgender people exist because they do, and there is nothing from preventing them from existing.

    However, if you wish to further debate this spiritual issue please feel free to make a different topic as this deserves its own and is a distraction from the story because the student was not arguing any of this and this should be it for this particular topic in this thread. Get your last word in on this if you must but I am not derailing this topic any more with these distractions by you.

    This is an attempt at an entirely different argument and to insult trans people. This has nothing to do with why he was removed, which was clearly because he interrupted class. The whole argument on whether trans people exist is not relevant to the reason the discipline happened. He was removed for spouting off in class. He could have been saying 2+2=4 and he would still be tossed from class because he was interrupting class. This is an alt right attempt to muddy the issue with a superfluous argument. If you wish to argue the reality of trans people make a new topic.

    For the cosmic karma of it, i hope one of your children is transgender. For the sake of their mental and emotional health, I hope they are able to find the appropriate love and support from their other relatives and friends.

    I really dont care about the personal problems of mutant homosexuals

    My interest was how the crazy progressive professor responded to an idea that was not the same as hers

    Gender is not a social construct.

    The student didn’t disrupt class. The professor opened the floor to student comments and he complied.

    You do realize at the end of the day those students are customers consuming an education. An uppity student who is interrupting the class for the purpose of insulting trans people is probably a student who needs to learn the proper time to open his mouth.

    The professor did not open up the class to shout insults at the transsexual pastor. That is what this guy did. He was rightfully thrown out.

    I guess I'm not compelled to search the ancient history of words to excuse the treatment of people not aware of approved word usage.

    That's the problem with social justice culture wars, what's acceptable language today may be grounds for personal attack tomorrow, if one doesn't keep up.

    I think the Office of Social Justice Compliance needs to issue a daily bulletin detailing accepted language, so people can avoid being destroyed by the thought troops and their handlers occupying teaching positions in today's colleges and universities.

    The Culture War demands such offensives. I imagine Social Justice Warriors are frustrated the majority of the population have yet to buckle under.

    I don't believe that bothers anybody. Throwing someone out of class because they don't recognize imaginary unquantifiable genders does bother people.

    It is extorting someone with education to accept incorrect things. Basically it is spreading Madness.

    even if they are your child's teacher?
    this is about some deranged lunatic kicking a student out of class for not placating his f****** delusion. I would say that that does affect someone else.

    I would call that propaganda if I wanted to be hyperbolic I would call it grooming.

    I bolded a sentence in your post above. While it reflects a norm that should be expected, it is not an accurate statement. What is "accepted science" is open to interpretation and convenience of ideology.

    In the end, Culture Wars are tricky business, and acceptable speech is an ever changing thing. Co-opting words and redefining them can lead to misunderstandings when not everyone feels the need to be limited by the restrictions the War places on them.

    As noted, gender and sex as a reference to biological condition has been the norm for many decades, if not longer. Only since the left's Culture War was launched has the definition of "gender" been redefined to mean nothing and everything.

    I'm not sure failure to recognize this vaporous definition is grounds for expulsion.
