You should look into the science of it. We have found physical differences in the brain. There are more chromosome combinations other than just XX/XY.

But in the end what does it matter why if you believe in personal liberty?
So what if someone defines themselves as a horse? I'm sure their brains may tell them that they are.

Is it "aggressive" to tell them the truth that they are not?

Should we start teaching kids that they can be a horse if they want?

That doesn’t change the correct answer to the question.

That's not the GOP at the forefront. It's a problem because4 LGBT groups are demanding to control other people's minds. They want them brainwashed in kindergarten that girls can be boys and boys can be girls.

Get it out of the schools and away from the little kids and you'll see nary a peep of pushback.

I don't care what people do in their own time. It's when people are trying to control others thoughts that's the issue.
Teaching kids not everyone is the same and should be treated with respect and dignity is controlling the mind? Seems you want kids to live in a world and taught only what you deem appropriate? Doesn’t work that way.

Sorry. But it's true.

Accept science and biology.
If you actually delved in to the science you would see this is not black and white at all.

Who said we shouldn't treat everyone with dignity????

Are you saying that telling the truth is not "treating someone with dignity?"

Wow you found a pink haired SJW Berkeley teachers' lounge article to "back up your claims."

I'm shocked! Here I was, thinking that there are precisely two genders like most normal people have for eons, but now this earth-shattering internet article has changed all that.

Thanks!

Gender is whatever you think or what to imagine as a possibility.

There are two...period.

When bidding on a government contract it is best to identify as a black female who was in the military.

Refusing to address transsexual as the gender they identify with is not treating someone with dignity. Continuing the dialog of disrespect towards trans and lgbq is not treating people with dignity.
