True. How sad. And a sad commentary on a "tolerant" society that allows mentally ill people to find doctors who will mutilate them for a buck.
You have as great a talent for twisting words as you do bending genders. Obviously, if this tidbit came from Jerry Springer or the leftist media it would be *disinformation* for the purpose of trying to silence the right. It would carry as much weight as a Bill Clinton denial.
And I expect whatever documentation you unearth to verify the "90%" part too.
Dude! First, I am absolutely not wrong about not having cable. I think I could be considered a reliable source on that topic.
Also, I know I didn't see the iguana-man on TV. I read about the iguana-man in an article. I saw the puma-man on TV.
Maybe I saw a news magazine show that used an excerpt from the Ripley show, but I didn't see anything on TBS.
Shalom.
Whatever it was, it wasn't circular.
The support that commandments have to do with heart issues (like not misusing sex) comes from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. The support for marriage being only between a man and a woman comes from Genesis and 2:24 and Matthew 19:4.
Since my source isn't my conclusion and my conclusion isn't my source that isn't circular reasoning.
First you know more about my house than I do, then you re-define logical concepts.
That's not the best way to get your viewpoint accepted.
Shalom.

During the early stages of devolopment in the womb, a XY chomosome brain experiences what is called a testosterone wash, not if there is not enough testosterone administered at this time in devolopment, the XY chomosome brain will default to a female brain. Also, if a XX chomosome brain experiences a testosterone wash, there is a that it will devolop into a male brain.
. . . . .
Later in the XY chomosome fetal devolopment, the XY chomosome body requires a constant supply and high amounts of testosterone to devolop in a male body. If the XY chomesome boby does not get a constant supply of testosterone or not enough of testosterone, the XY chomosome sexual organs and sexual genitals will begin to revert back to female sexual organs and genitals. Also, if a XX chomosome begins to recieve testoster from the womb, then there is a chance that the XX chomosome will begin to devolop male sexual organs and male sexual genitals.
This is the strongest evidence as to what causes physical gender deformities, including a person with XX chomosomes to have a penis and a person with XY chomosome to has a vagina.
I have heard all that before, and it does not impress me.
The Y chromosome makes you a male and not having the Y makes you female.
That a person's body can be modified by altering hormone levels does not change the underlying genetic makeup of that person.
Here's the thing: Sex developed as a means to enhance adaptation of a species to a changing environment.
Sex did not develop to make penises or vaginas, such structures are secondary.
I do not care what the appearance of a person is--whether the person seems to have a penis or vagina--I care what the person's genes are all about.
Those XX's with so-called penises and those XY's with so-called vaginas, tell me: can the XX's testes (if XX's ever have testes) produce sperm and impregnate a woman? Can the XY's ovaries (if XY's ever have ovaries) produce an egg that can be fertilized?
And if someone who has XX, for example, feels like she has the mind of a man trapped inside a woman's body--can any amount of surgery equip that woman with a male reproductive system producing sperm that bears the person's own X and Y chromosomes?
Sperm that is capable of participating in the continued development of the sexual species?
I doubt such mutations are fertile, and were they fertile, they could no produce sperm with the person's Y chromosomes because they have no Y chrosmosomes. A real man's sperm can contain Y chromosomes, and hence be a real player in evolution--which is why sex exists to begin with.
If you don't realize that, then you need to go back and reread that commandment as many times as it takes for you understand what it truly says.
You have made your point again! Who does? Both sides of the isle find the topic disgusting. The conservatives pehaps find it amusing as well, since they generally have a better sense of humor. I would not make the leap to acceptance since they are laughing at transgender folks, not with them!
Well, I disagree on what I need to do. I don't just read one verse or another when I read the Bible. I read the whole thing regularly. And, to understand any part you need to understand the whole.
However, according to my source (and I am not a Hebrew scholar) the commandment speaks to breaking wedlock. If you are not wed and have sex, then you are breaking wedlock with an unknown future spouse.
Most importantly, however, G-d's commands (all 613 of them) speak to heart issues, not circumstantial issues. You are an adulterer if you have sex with other than your wife and for a reason other than to create a union with your wife. If you don't have a wife yet, you are certainly having sex with a woman for a reason other than to create a union with her, and you are violating G-d's law.
Shalom.
You don't even realize how irrational your above statement is. You statment is basically, that people are married, before they are married, and that make no sense at all.
I'm sorry it wasn't clear to you. It is still clear to me. I did not say that people are married before they are married. I said that people are married except when they aren't.
Shalom.
