In those cases the decision is done by the parents when they are infants btw. So that point is moot. Tell me the truth, you're pro-homo agenda?

Not at all. I think GLSEN are despicable and should be run out on a rail from anyplace they show themselves. That doesn't mean I think it's anyone's business what people do in their bedroom, but gays' agenda goes far beyond that.

On the other hand, I have read of cases of people whose birth certificates show their sex opposite what they undeniably are. Whether this happens due to a clerical error or genetic abnormality (there exist XY females or XX males; I believe both types of people are usually sterile though I'm not sure. I do recall reading that single-X females and XXY males are sterile.) it would seem there must be some procedure by which someone can go to court and get such an error corrected.

As for whether it's proper for states to recognize sex changes done in other states, it would seem that absent federal legislation the full faith and credit clause would apply to such things if recognized judicially in any state. Perhaps such legislation would be appropriate, though I don't think it happens often enough to worry too much about either way.

As a matter of fact, I'm kind of pissed off that the Gay/Lesian/Weirdo community was able to co-opt the hermaphrodite/medical/biological aspects of undiscerned gender disorder.

They are still genetically male or female.They are sterile. XO (Turner syndrome), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XXX (poly-X syndrome), and XYY (Jacob syndrome). No matter how many X chromosones there are, any individual with a Y chromosone developes into a male. These abnormalities are so few, only one in thousands occur.

So much for the "gay" gene - - it does not exist.

I'm a little confused here - what's to recognize? Are you saying that if I can go to SF and get someone to write on my driver's license that I'm a female and then I go to Alabama and go into the women's restroom that the state should protect me from the public lynching I would undoubtedly be subject to?

Shalom.
