More than likely they would wonder why anyone would think it to be appropriate to check any box.

You'd think but that's not always true. Take what Fallon Fox a man that "transitioned" into a woman that fights in the MMA fought and destroyed Tamikka Brents in the ring after just two minutes. Even Ronda Rousey a Mixed martial arts champ refuses to fight him. And yes I do say "Him" because I don't care what anyone "feels" like, I care whether they have a XX or XY chromosome.

Personally, as a woman, I find the whole male to female thing very offensive. They are NOT, nor will they ever BE female! And it is so offensive to me that a MAN can just change their dress, take some hormone pills and some surgery and think they can call themselves a woman. A "woman" has a specific set of chromosomes and do things like naturally grow breasts, menstruate, can get pregnant and have a child, etc. If these type of men must exist they should at LEAST call themselves something entirely different and stop with the "I now have girl parts and have fake breasts I'm a woman now!!" BS. I'll probably get a lot of flack for this, but that's how I truly feel.

Transgender "Female" MMA Fighter Brutally Injures Female Opponent

Quote:
Transgender mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Fallon Fox is the target of criticism after brutally injuring an opponent.
Fox defeated Tamikka Brents just two minutes into the first round of the match. Brents suffered a damaged orbital bone, which required seven staples, and a concussion.


Brents summed it up: “I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life.”


“I’ve fought a lot of women,” Brents stated. “And never felt the strength I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because [he] was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right.”


The video of the Brents-Fox fight was pretty brutal: Fox threw knees to Brents face and torso right at the beginning, to kick off the fight. Brents ultimately turned her back to avoid more damage–and took almost a minute of hard strikes from Fox’s elbows and fists, before the referee stopped.



Because of how men and women are differently built–Fox, who was born a man, has larger hands, shoulders, bones, and muscle mass–a transgender opponent has a huge advantage. Because Fox transitioned her gender so recently, she still has many of the advantages that being a man has.

If the medical community is so confused on how to define male & female why does it take
an OBGYN about 1 sec at delivery to announce.
"It's a BOY" or "It's a GIRL"

Sad thing is if you let these.......people get their way your OBGYN won't be able to say such things, instead, regardless of whether it is born with a penis or vagina they will have to announce it as "It's...whatever sex and/or gender it wants to be!!" And what's sad is you know I am not joking.

We went from being the envy of the world and the greatest country in history, to what we are today.

Undoubtedly, with statements like yours, that is all a lost concept.

Yeah we should really go back to the days when straight white men ran everything even more than they do today. That is what the founding fathers meant by equality for all afterall.

When it is born, If it has a penis, it is a boy, if it has a vagina, it is a girl. If it has both, it is hermaphrodite (right)?

After that the kid can choose what hesheit wants to be called...

Easy.

That is mixing up the biological facts with a person's preferences...

I agree with them choosing what they want to identify as , but gender,age & race are unchanging..


If I want to be 20 years younger than I am, I can hang out with younger people,
act like a younger person, tell people that I am younger, dress like a
younger person & declare all day long that I am 20 years younger..

But my actual age never changes...

Yeah, thank goodness we've "progressed" to the point where children are confused as to what sex they are, and are so insecure that they have to spend 10s of 1000s of dollars trying to convert their bodies to be something theyre not. I guess your vision of "apple pie" was man and woman only marriages? I assume so, as thats what youre leaning towards. If I could, I would LOVE to live in the 50's. Men loved women, women loved men, and those that didnt kept quiet and didnt shove their crap down our throats. I couldve flipped on the TV and seen TV shows that were wholesome, w/o worrying about seeing drug abuse, gay sex scenes, murders, and some guy prancing around with a phony lisp, all limp-wristed acting like he's gay. I could leave my keys in the car w/o fear of it being stolen. I could leave my house unlocked at night w/o fear of an intruder breaking into my house, and sueing ME if he hurt himself during the robbery. I could turn on the radio and not hear some nonsensical POS rap "song" berating women while being worshipped as a status symbol. I could not worry about diseases like AIDS being spread by rampant drug usage and people having sex with monkeys.

I would say, sir, that your idea of "progress" is quite nasty.
