Don't expect a brain scan to tell you if you're "transgender" or not

Yes, it is a mental illness and needs to be treated as such. The problem is that homos have gotten it declassified so that it is not a recognized mental illness and in some cases have created an environment where mental health professionals can be punished for suggesting that it is. Instead of getting help to get back to a healthy state, the sick person is instead given support and encouragement to continue down the path of destruction.

It is an illness, an abnormality, a disease. I honestly don’t know if it would show up on a brain scan, but I do not believe that it is a genetic disorder. In every account I have ever read or heard about, the person’s life experience contained some sort of trauma or influence that caused them to be damaged.

Similar to a drug and alcohol addiction, some people can fix themselves with a new attitude and environment and others need outside help. The first step is admitting that something is wrong. Pop culture is not allowing that first step. People of weak character have no chance to go straight on their own and the homosexual mafia is lovin it.

Gender is not the word for male or female unless you are talking about literally "word".

Sex is the proper word to use when talking about humans and also animals.

That is why a Chicken Sexer is not called a chicken genderer and the kindergarten girl cried because she got an F in sex.

Sex is solid. You are a male or female. They are unable to argue with that.

Gender they will tell you is fluid.

I refuse to let them gain control of the language.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No. At conception your sex is determined. You are either XX the sex of a female or XY the sex for a male.

Gender has nothing to do with it.

You notice that gender uses the terms "masculine or feminine or neuter" which can be applied to things or actions. Example: Pink was a masculine color and light blue was a feminine color until the beginning of the 20 century.

The gender of things comes from perception and can be altered at will.

Sex uses "male or female" which is what ARE.

Example: That tree is male and will not give fruit but is necessary to have in the orchard for the female tree to fruit.

This is reality, no amount of perception can change that.

It is only in the past few decades that they began to try to switch the word gender (perception) for sex (reality). I refuse to play their silly game.

You may if you like.

[Ray76]

The words are practically synonymous. My usage is not incorrect.

Three dictionaries define gender as “the state of being male or female” yet you claim gender “comes from perception”. I think it is you that is playing a silly game.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Your usage was not incorrect if you think gender is fluid.

“the state of being male or female” is not BEING male or female.

Water can be in the state of ice, liquid or steam. It is all water.

People can not be in the "state of being male or female" They are either one or the other.

But you may tell your your child they have a gender rather then a sex if you want.

When they decide they want to be transgender because their teacher told them gender is fluid you have lost the game

[Ray76]

As I previously stated, gender is assigned at conception. Please do not insinuate that I have said otherwise.

There is no such thing as “transgender”.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sex is assigned at conception.
