Maybe we ought to make 6-fingered gloves the norm. I mean, it happens so that means it's normal, right? And should be the bar for all human life, that 6 fingers is the norm. Anyone with 5 fingers needs to get a new pronoun.

I think this thread is about gender if I'm not mistaken.

In one sentence you say "your biological sex will never change," and in the next you say "whatever sex you may choose."

That is not correct. It is approximately 1 in 1000.

Edited to add: I see that the incorrect statistic has been corrected.

I do not believe in transgender. You are assigned your sex at birth. If you have a penis, you are a male, the vagina is female. It is a form of mental illness! I have seen many women try to look like a man and many men who try to look like a woman. They do not look natural. I don't care who you want to be if it doesn't influence my life. To each his own.

Basically - there's no difference in gender and sex (used as a noun, not a verb). The words are interchangeable.

Definitely. I have yet to meet one that wasn't aiming to whip with its tail.

Right… Population control is everyone’s business, especially if your entire social support system is built around having enough people to pay for the retired people.

Some feel they were born in the wrong body. This is nothing new in our history. They just feel that in 2022 it may be more accepted now. I've told this story before about my great aunt. She was definitely a man born in a women's body. She had a miserable life because she was never accepted and forced to be a woman by her mother. Let people be and stop making fun of them by equating them to others acting like a dog or something else.
