When I first came to college I met my new roommate. The first thing he said was “Hi! My name is Lee. I’m really feminine, but don’t worry. I’m not gay. It’s just that I never had a father in my life to be a male role model.”
Do these people who suddenly realize they are some other sex do their own DNA sequencing at home?
In the school lab?
Do they subcontract it out?
Or maybe they just self diagnose?
[As an adult, she learned that she was actually genetically female and began transitioning]
So, he learned that he was actually genetically XX when he had gone his whole life thinking he was XY? That’s a major screw-up by his doctors. And, why, if he was actually “genetically” a female, does he need to transition?
“I can’t figure out from this article what’s going on. Does genetically female equate to anatomically female?”
Yes and no. Some people are born with incomplete (or sometimes complete) parts of both and the parents flip a coin as to how they’re going to raise the kid.
These are the people who truly need the surgery to match their genetics.
I don’t think that it’s the usual fraud case of “I feel like a girl” so I’m going to pretend and everybody has to believe it.
Why is this kind of stuff so supremely important to progressives? They might reply, “Why is it important to YOU?” My reply would be that it is progressives who keep bringing this stuff up, emphasizing it, insisting on it, and shoving it in our faces. Left on their own, most conservatives would rarely even think about transgender issues. But libs seem obsessed with it.
Reprobate minds believe these lies quite readily.
No, this happens, and if you look at the “before” pictures, the facial features are feminine. If it’s a genetic abnormality, then nobody should be giving this teacher any grief.
Would not want to tee off an “it” that size.
Looks better as a girl. Usually this isn’t the case.
I’ll take her/his word that he/she suffered from a hermaphroditic condition. This does happen and is quite odd.
Presumably, she/he is XXY, which can result in both types of genitalia being present, often with the vagina subsumed into the body.
I’ve heard of plenty XXY.
No Adams apple, pre-hormone therapy is a clue to the genetics.
There was an African athlete, a runner, a couple of years ago that had the opposite condition: both genetically and anatomically ambiguous: but I believe the judges finally disqualified her from women's competitions because "she" had a male musculature as a result of this anomaly.
If I'm reading this correctly, this is apparently a case of an XX female with ambiguous development of the primary and secondary sexual characteristics, getting repair surgery. It's not the kind of radical "trans-genderism" that the gender deconstructionists are now foisting on us.
No idea. And it doesn’t matter. We’re being steamrolled.
Ummmm, what does Swager’s mom say? Swager’s dad say?
Therein lies the difficulty of upbringing as both Mum&Dud were told by the OB/Gyn waht was going on.
Me smells a feminista liberal.
Nature can play cruel tricks sometimes. If she has XX and no Y chromosomes, she is genetically female no matter what she has between her legs.
it is the excuse the homosexual lobby puts forward. It is a terminal birth defect.
