You’re right, of course.
I saw a documentary once about the people who don’t want their limbs.
Many little children identify as their pets or as TV characters. They’ll adopt the mannerisms and everything. Eventually, they grow out of that phase. But I guess some never do, especially if the behavior is reinforced somehow.
Many years ago, I was listening to the Dr. Laura radio show one day, and a crossdresser called in. I’m not a big fan of Dr. Laura, but I’ll never forget what she told him. She said: “As a woman, I wear dresses sometimes. But I don’t NEED to wear dresses. You do understand the difference, right?”
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And worse than that, is they demand that everyone else believe and embrace their lies and delusions.
There are never enough props to prop up the world of falsehood, so its members resort to intimidation and threats. And when those don't work...
The special snowflake syndrome is a hazard to everyone around it.
I am a lesbian trapped in a mans body, but what the hell...I can still chase women and I can use the RED tees!!!
Exactly what came to mind when I read the title.
I'm glad that my parents didn't decide I was a girl and encourage me to take my "feminine leanings" further.
Left a note whining that his death should mean something.
The consensus of the responses was almost unanimous: The meaning is that he was a freak; and now dead. Period.
An amazingly stupid question.
Here's the basics:
XX is female, XY is male. If this guy has XY in his DNA, he was a male, and still is a male. If he doesn't believe that, it's a psychological disorder. There is no debate.
These same people who argue people get to choose their gender, they are not born a certain way, and should be able to have "treatment" to force their bodies to reject their genetics also argue that people are born homosexual, they can't choose it, and want treatment for people who don't want to have homosexual tendencies to be banned. Literally insane people.
Actually, there was a lot of discussion about that a few years ago.
Gender used to be clearly understood as a quality of grammar; referring to a quality of certain nouns, pronouns etc.
The perverts hijacked it and succeeded at redefining it as they continue trying to do to the word "marriage."
