"We were all the same gender when we started out and the only difference is that some of us have a Y chromosome and some of us don't. But you know something, there are rare occasions where someone will be born as a female even though they have a Y chromosome and there are even rarer occasions when a those without a Y will be born resembling a male. There are also occasional male calico cats, but they are always sterile. The problem is that the whole system is imperfect. Whenever there's an imperfect system it leads to questions of what's "obvious" and what isn't. I really dont think that this is that difficult, If one has a penis, one is a male. If one has a vagina and clitoris, one is a female. Can we not even state this as fact anymore???

ProudAmericanConservative, this faulty view, that a person's mental gender is defined by that person's physical gender, can be traced back to the flawed reseach of Dr. John Money.

If want you to learn more on this subject, go check out the book titled: As Nature Made Him: the Boy who was Raised as a Girl, by John Colapinto.
