    Plenty of people are depressed for no environmental reason. Sometimes their brain just doesn't work. You're wrong.

    So you don't think that individuals with penises using the girl's bathroom is a problem? You do realize that we are capable of addressing both this issue and starving children at the same time, right?

    See it yourself. Your opinion is contradicted by mental health consensus

    Not always, unless you'd care to prove that

    That would involved critical thought. Critical thought is racist.

    Yes, always. In the absence of brain injury or physiological defect, the product of the human mind is entirely environmental. Pretend otherwise at your peril. And the peril of your children.

    Well, there must be, if your 'science' is to consistent. Ditto those who think they're Jesus. Or that their limbs don't belong to them.

    Being a man, I just assume that what I feel is what it feels like to be a man. To see that a man feels like a women begs the question "how can a man know what it feels like to be a woman."

    No, you are. People are never depressed for no reason. The reason - in the absence of a quantifiable stressor - is that they were not well parented (from birth), and subsequently have poor coping skills. In such a dysfunctional individual, no stressor is needed.

    1) Perspective is always crucial to truly humane existence. The minute you direct resources (intellectual and/or material) to something which has not earned a place on the perspective ladder, simply because you've lost sight of perspective altogether, you're insulting and abusing those who continue to starve. It's worth adding here that the loss of perspective is a direct result of too much easy living.

    2) The Mental Health industry has been compromised. It can no longer be trusted.

    They don't. It's all just so much play-acting. Hence the movement known as 'TERFS'. Trans-exclusive Radical Feminists. I'm 100% in agreement with them. Incidentally, the addition of the R for Radical is merely a perjorative, and wholly unnecessary.

    Why don't you define gender?
    Better yet, read the definition of gender. Gender is at present a fluid term. It mostly has been.

    gender (n.)


    c. 1300, "kind, sort, class, a class or kind of persons or things sharing certain traits," from Old French gendre, genre "kind, species; character; gender" (12c., Modern French genre), from stem of Latin genus (genitive generis) "race, stock, family; kind, rank, order; species," also "(male or female) sex," from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups.

    Also used in Latin to translate Aristotle's Greek grammatical term genos. The grammatical sense is attested in English from late 14c. The -d- is a phonetic accretion in Old French (compare sound (n.1)).

    Origin, did not define it as a sex.
    We have male or female to give names to the 2 sexes. Given humans are made up of many genes, hormones, and a whole host of other compounds, I seriously doubt that any of this is binary.

    LOL. The origin of the word goes back to 1300.
    But RWers, they make stuff up.

    There is no objective term when you talk about the complexity of what makes a human a human.
    There can be near infinite possibilities of how all things that make a human a human to mix and match.
    I use real laymen terms, because I only know laymen terms.

    How do you feel you like person A but not B?
    How do you like one set of traits but not another?
    How is love defined? What is love? Does love exist? So how does anyone define, FEEL?

    No. Some tried to define it that way, but never was synonymous with sex in defined terms.

    Well, reproduction does require one egg and one sperm. That sounds pretty binary.

    This thread has nothing to do with reproduction.
    Neither does the topic of what is gender.

    OP...it is all Oabamian theory put into practice by 5 queer friendly SCOTUS justices. The conservatives had their chance. They should have been fighting this bullshit tooth and nail.

    Oh, was your comment not trying to say that biological sex isn't binary? You were talking about genes and hormones...
