In my eyes, if you have a dick you're a man.

I will call you a man. Not to piss you off or anything petty like that. Its because you LITERALLY ARE a man.

So say that they had surgery to remove the crown jewels, what would you then call them?
XX or XY

Gender has nothing to do with your chromosomes.

Changing your gender is a disorder.
Not true. Transgenderism isn't a disorder of itself, but dysmorphia is. The two are simply highly correlated.
I'm sure you're right, I don't actually know the difference between the two. Honestly I just dislike the transgenders on this forum.

And what is the motivation for you disliking them?

Gender is highly correlated to sex; to say they aren't unrelated is folly.

The gender isn't similar to the concept of the soul, distinct from the brain in some way, and any divergence of gender from sex will be attributable to some sort of physical "malfunction" wherein the gender is divorced from the explicit sex of the individual.

Of course they're related. They aren't commensurate, but they're related.

i mean, the way i see it, at the end of the day, you never chose to be here at all to begin with

you didn't choose your hair, your face, your name, your parents, your house (for awhile), your interests, your sexual orientation, and, also, your gender. It doesn't seem that far-fetched to me that we can be so discontent over everything else--why wouldn't some people be born with the wrong gender?

and hey, it doesn't really affect you at all, and it makes them feel more comfortable and happy if you cooperate with their situation, who is anyone to say, "No, you cannot do that. You must be this gender, because it matters so much to my small brain."

excuse me, but like... the human race is a fucking joke

I don't know why you're trying to turn it around on me like I'm responsible. ChallengerX is the only user in which I was the one who intently started shit, though that's not actually anything serious.

Nah, I'm just saying.

Considering how you post, it's not much surprise why some people just won't become best friends with you. You can say the wrong thing sometimes. Just look at some of your threads and you'll see what I mean. Most of what you say isn't received well.

Edit: you've really peeked my interest here. I'd like to discuss this further >_>

Gender has nothing to do with your chromosomes.
Masculinity is based off the biological traits of males and femininity is based off the biological traits of females. So yes gender is related to sex.

It's really not that simple. Asserting so makes you look pretty ignorant of the subject.

Your approval is not my priority. If you're easily offended by my jokes then it's your responsibility to mute me, not my responsibility to say things that don't hurt your feelings. Anyway, I know the reason you don't like me is because I didn't give Nuka free money, so you can kindly fuck off.

Actually no, not true at all. What you do with your money is your decision.
Obviously he didn't need it because there was so much support, which works out for you as well. You see what just happened there? You just assumed something about me. That's another motivation for people to dislike you, you've got to watch out for that.

Let's lay that aside now, this thread isn't about petty personal issues.

How would you sum up your personal view on transgender people?
Love them?
Hate them?
Think it is strange?
You are tolerant, but you also don't understand?

"it" refers to an object, not a person.

Words don't have to have just one definition. The only thing stopping the word from meaning what it ought to mean is yourself.

>referring to an animal or child of unspecified sex.
"she was holding the baby, cradling it and smiling into its face"

2. >used to identify a person.
"it's me"

that's obviously not good enough

of course, the issue with it being so ingrained in our vernacular would make it very difficult (but I wouldn't say futile) to "update"

i don't know, but it's one of the top 10 biggest flaws of the language

I don't have beef with transgender people, at least for their gender. (Assholes can still be assholes, regardless of age, race, faith, gender or disability)

I default apply everyone here as a "he" unless they either say they are a girl or want to be addressed as one.

But it would be nice if I was allowed to ask how a trans person would like to be addressed, rather than say gender-neutral word ("they" instead of "he"/"she"), and bypass offending them.

People can do whatever they want to their bodies, but I just hate when they expect the rest of the world to keep up with it, and flip out on anyone who doesn't. I don't think establishments should be sued because they still don't have neutral or transgender bathrooms. I don't mind calling someone by a different pronoun, but they should expect it to take getting used to, and not be a pretentious cunt about every time someone screws it up.

As others have said, nearly every person on this forum that does that is just trying to get a rise out of them. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorance, just a lust for hate.
