Transgender Prejudice And The Belief In A Biological Basis For Gender

As June comes to an end, so do many events associated with Pride Month, a month-long celebration of sexual diversity and gender variance — often geared towards increasing the visibility of the LGBTQIA community, as well as combatting stigma and advocating for equal rights.
But the battle to eliminate stigma and achieve these rights will certainly continue, as recent debates about which bathrooms transgender men and women should use illustrate all too well.
For years here at 13.7, Barbara J. King has been writing about what she calls the spectrum of gender expression, and "the fact that gender identity isn't only — or even mostly — about biology and that it's most certainly not reducible to the sex one is assigned at birth." That's an especially important lesson in light of new research that identifies one of the sources of prejudice against transgender individuals: the (mostly mistaken) belief that men's and women's stereotypical characteristics do, in fact, come down to some immutable feature of one's biology.

NPR and the left, but I repeat myself on Monday will argue that gender is a social construct and on Tuesday that inverts are born that way. I don’t think you can have it both ways depending on the social norm you wish to destroy, at least not if you wish to be taken seriously. Transsexuals are deeply disturbed and delusional individuals who deserve our sympathy but not our acquiescence in their delusion. Their firmly held belief does not change the fact they are biologically one particular sex.

The Left has scceeded ince again in altering the language to suit its ideology and normal people, even hard conservatives, have folowed right along. Gender is not a relevant description of sex. By making everyone use “gender” instead of “sex” they have obfuscated reality. Gender referring to one’s sex is not so much wrong as irrelevant. Gender can mean what one feels like rather than factual reality. Gender properrly is a grammar case. It does not denote or even imply sex. ftists know that sex cannot be changed thus they make us all use gender, instead. Gender means masculine or feminine- Sex refers to men and women- male and female. By using gender instead of sex they are admitting that sex does not change but that we are reqired to accept feelings for fact.

OK, NPR, so you were claiming human gender is not biological, then deviants are not in genetics denial but are suffering Mental Illness.

NPR was never liberal lefty biased, according to their management. Hearing a conservative at Public Broadcasting is like listening for a mime at a clown convention.

WHAT is wrong with the DEMOCRAT voters in Delaware?

Romans 1:26-28
King James Version 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:32
King James Version 32
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A26-28%3B32&version=KJV
