first off, The word you are looking for is "sex"(the organs), not gender. Because Gender is nothing but a human construct based on masculinity or femininity.

Second, There are doctors with 8 to 12 years of education and many more years of practice who all disagree with you.

Just because you dont understand something doesnt make it untrue.

Your brain is in control. It really doesn't matter what body parts you have to determine who you are. It's your mind.

Apparently, you don't, or you wouldn't make those ludicrous comparisons about being a doctor or being black.

It's a fact. Males have penis, females a vagina.

And many doctors believe the parts you are born with are the gender you are. Yes you can change them but until you do, you are the original gender.

What do you mean by that? I know you're just trying to be smart, but it didn't work. What your implying can mean one of two things: 1) your skin is black or 2) you act 'black.'

If you're white (which given the statement you made, I assume you are), you're skin is black. If you think it's black, get your eyes checked.

If you're saying you "act black," well that's different. You can act however you want regardless of skin color.


As for literally answering this, your brain only kind of decides if you are male or female. Sex is determined by chromosomes. Which you have is what you are. How you act however can be different. A feminine man is still a man, even if he wears a dress. Ultimately, focusing on if we call them 'he or she' is pointless. If they are biologically male, that is what I will consider them. If they wish to 'act like a female,' that's their choice, but that doesn't make them technically female. They can of course request to be called 'she' and such, but to get offended if someone whom they've never met calls them 'he' is absolutely ridiculous.

Okay my brain says I am Jesus. I'm going to church and tell them.

It's the same thing. If I am born white, my brain can't say I am black. Same thing with gender, if I have a vagina I am a woman.

And your latest post makes it seem like you actually agree, you just think nothing matters till after the sex change.

There you go again pretending that you are a doctor.
