The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't know why your head hurts.

You sound very clear on your stance.

Because of taking in all the back and forth on this topic.

So after re-reading the thread, I figured science was the only way to solve it. At the genetic level there is no escaping who you are. People can pretend to be whatever they want, but they will always be a male or a female homo sapien.

I think I'm clear for now

That's good Jimbone.

I think people's psychologies play a significant role in determining who we truly are and I acknowledge that transgenderism is real. I understand that you don't acknowledge transgenders exist, at least you didn't upthread. And, I don't feel motivated to advise other people on what pronouns they should use when referring to transgender individuals, but I understand that you do. And so on...

IDK. For me, those such differences in style and back and forth exchanges between us and other members aren't confusing or head-hurting. They're part of what keeps it interesting and sometimes enlightening for me in here. Clearly, I like the variety and diversity.

Anyway, I'm really interested in the different opinions and facts being discussed in this thread and am still learning about the subject matter. It's a pretty new topic of exploration for most of society. And while I agree with ramsey that Jenner's coming out and transitioning doesn't make her a hero, I do in fact consider it news.
