In some cases, that is true.

It's more complicated than that, though. Hormones and socialization do play a part, after all.

If that's the case, then there is indeed ambiguity in the definition, unlike what you just mentioned. So, as I stated, if the biological definition is the definition that is being used, hormones and socialization have no part in your s3x at all, only your gender. You can't pick and choose what means what to support your argument. Either gender is dependent or independent of your s3x. So, which one is it?

It isn't either/or. We are not binary.

You're trying to solve calculus using arithmetic. It isn't going to work.

Nah, a trainwreck needs at least two people to have a flaming great big row over something. Another attempt to get Almalexiaque to pass the turing test hardly qualifies.

Well, there's about 4,250ish teen suicides in the US every year so ask yourself how many of them become Tumblr Heroes.

That's an excellent marginalization of suffering. Good work. How many other dudes were crucified by the Romans? Guess which attention ***** is the only one we remember!

The moment he goes around telling other people he's a girl, or telling himself that-- that is when I have a problem. If being happy means chasing after something that can never possibly be, there is a problem. Wearing different clothes will not make him a woman. He can take hormones and pay a doctor to destroy and mutilate his body, but he'd still be a man.

The fuck does this even mean? If society decides people can self identify gender then saying "I'm a girl" with serious intent makes him a girl. I have no clue why this is so complicated for some people. No, nothing will make him biologically identical to a woman. Why does this matter at all to the separate conversation about gender identity?

I genuinely, literally, don't understand the POV. Taking irrevocable steps like surgery at a young age is something that would make me uncomfortable. That I can understand because there's the potential for loss there. What's the downside of your kid wanting to identify as a girl? I don't get it.

The one that decided to identify himself as a divine being instead of the mortal he was born as?

You're conflating two separate issues. Whether or not we are binary has nothing to do with whether or not gender is dependent or independent to our s3x. Vision is dependent on our eyes. Sound is independent of our vision. Neither of which contradicts the notion that we are not binary creatures. So, I ask again, is gender dependent or independent to our s3x?

hint: if you believe that we are truly complex and not binary, then the answer is "gender is independent of our s3x". That allows your gender to be one of infinite possibilities. So, it makes absolutely no sense to say "it isn't either or", when clearly a answer supports your claim.

You really need a vowel? Go for a consonant, you pansy. Like an "F" or an "R".

I'd probably have gone with something obscure like A Boy Named Sue.

Why is it you think you'd be ok with your kid dressing like a girl, acting like a girl, but not calling himself a girl?

Why so hung up on the label?

Also why is this a topic, is your 3-year old already exhibiting feminine characteristics?

I'm sure I'm missing a euphemism there, but my first thought was "men don't buy curtains...unless the curtains contain the image of Deadpool".

Most transgender persons I've known knew their gender was different from their sex before they were 5 years old. My ex says (s)he knew at the age of 3 that she was a girl, though when I met her, she was in complete denial, so to please social pressure to be manly. His uncut hair and beard at the time made him look like a lumberjack. Her generation of transgender lived depressing lives trying to be the gender role of her sex, why deep inside they felt wrong. Coming out was something they did at risk of their careers.

Yes when talking about my ex I use different pronouns for different periods of her life. When talking about the period were I was married to my ex, I use male pronouns, while I use female to talk about her current life. She is on hormones, but will never get surgery due to costs and law currently not allowing the VA to pay for it.

Today I'm happy to see some parents are willing to allow their children to live as their gender and not their sex. Doing so they are preventing the mental illness that many of the older transgender people I have know suffer from. Also doing so will prevent them from having to live a lie that often destroys families like mine was. The effects of my ex finally admitting to herself and me that she was a woman gender wise, ripple through my children's lives and that of their children.

Really you think it's hard to live with the fact your child may be a different gender then their sex, imagine how a child must feel dealing with the fact that their grandfather is a woman.

It's a subject we don't talk about with my grand kids. Two of the four, have never met their grand father and don't know anything about her, as my daughter moved away to get away from her and the family drama she creates.
