Does believing, thinking or feeling something is true actually make it true?

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Luke 10:25-28: 25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

Well, aside from losing any sense of integrity you might have, you would be knowingly and willingly violating Rule 3 Section 2.


I respect your right to identify as such.
But identifying as such makes it so, correct? Or is this another one of those selective applications of the words?

I have maintained that sex and gender are the same thing

"Sex and gender are not synonymous. Sex, unless otherwise specified, relates to biology: the gametes, chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs. Gender relates to societal roles, behaviours, and expectations that vary with time and place, historically and geographically. These categories describe different attributes that must be considered depending on the purpose they are intended for.1 The World Health Organization states, “Gender is used to describe the characteristics of women and men that are socially constructed, while sex refers to those that are biologically determined.”



Direct from the British Medical Journal. You are wrong about there not being a distinction.

No. Gender isn't related to biology. The roles were attached to the genders. The two things have been conflated.
