A woman is an adult human female, a man is an adult human male.

These definitions are nonsensical and circular.

That is only your "feelings" something that you seem to be against. The science disagrees with you.

I just asked this question, let me ask you. If we took your brain and transplanted it into a female body would you think of yourself as female? Would you crave penis?

You can package garbage real pretty but it is still garbage. A lie is a lie no matter how pretty you dress it up. 100 years from now, take the DNA of the remains and you will know if it is male or female

Then why claim were trying to force people into something?

I never claimed you specifically had forced anyone to do anything. This post should explain it

The witchhunt continues...

forcing people to believe things which are not true. This is a ridiculous straw man. How is anyone being "forced" to do anything, other than to mind their own business?

It's not a what if game when the SC is throwing rights and protections out the window and one justice has said they should overturn Obergefell v Hodges (but conveniently for him no mention of Loving v Virginia).

Clarence Thomas never said the court should overturn Obergefell. If you don't believe that then go read what he said for yourself. None of the other justices support what he said about reviewing the cases. The majority opinion said clearly this does not affect that decision in any way.

There is more to being a man or a woman than just body parts.

What are they? What makes someone a woman or a man?

I am assuming that you are male. If I am wrong, just reverse the sexes. It we took your brain out of your body and transplanted it into a female one would you now think of yourself as a woman? If you are straight would you suddenly crave penis?

Yes, I would think I was a woman. And no, I would not want to have sex with men.

 

[Clizby Wampuscat]

Because that is not the way that it is. Ask one of our trans members.

What is not the way it is?

 

[Clizby Wampuscat]

Then why is dating men a sea of boys who just happen to be the age of an adult man?

I don't undestand your comment. Can you explain?

 

[Clizby Wampuscat]

These definitions are nonsensical and circular.

How so? They are defined this way in dictionaries. How do you define a woman and a man?

You can package garbage real pretty but it is still garbage.

At least you know that your beliefs are garbage. And it appears that you know that you cannot defend them. Running away from uncomfortable questions tells us quite a bit.

From what I've observed in the last few years, most people I have seen make this exaggeration about freedom-index-topping countries—just because they can't freely impose their beliefs on others or harass them in professional settings—have never experienced what life is like for the average citizen in an actual dictatorship.

Try going to Saudi Arabia, China, or Iran without a powerful passport and see how things are. If you come back from that experiment still making the hyperbolic claim that free speech is "under constant assault" in Canada of all places, I'll send a million dollars to your PayPal.

We need to bring back the winner badge.

Yes, I would think I was a woman. And no, I would not want to have sex with men.

Medical studies have shown that the brain of trans people is often more like that of the opposite sex. Put a man's brain into a woman's body and he will still think that he is a man.

I'm more interested in learning how you define them.

I think you are looking in the mirror. Please use better glasses.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

What is stopping any justice to change their minds on anything. You are playing a what if game.

I am playing a "what if" game in which at least one SCOTUS justice opened the door, in a climate in which there is a very strong and very serious war against LGBTQ+ culture going on. This is something that you consistently seem to want to ignore. I feel like I have to assume it is because your sympathies lie with the "against" side.

But never forget, in a war, antagonists will use every possible advantage that they can find. We (or most of us, possibly not you) are seeing that playing out right across the United States.

You ran away from a question because you know that you are in the wrong.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Yeah, that's just not true or going on and is nothing more libel coming from Christians who are struggling hard at that "love thy neighbor as your self" thing.

Yep, that sure seems to be the hardest precept for a terrible number of "Christians." Ever notice how they like to quote "love the sinner, hate the sin," while it is the sinner they shun, excommunicate or lynch (metaphorically lynch mostly, these days)?

I didn't know much about Dylan Mulvaney -- I still don't understand the hype about social media personalities and influencers because I generally avoid social media (with the exception of these forums here). I just now searched YouTube to see what Mulvaney's collection of TikTok videos (chronicling her transition) were all about, and I came across Mulvaney's "Day 1 of being a girl." Here's what Mulvaney recorded:

"Day 1 of being a girl and I have already cried three times, I wrote a scathing email that I did not send, I ordered dresses online that I couldn't afford, and then, uh, when someone asked me how I was, I said 'I'm fine!' when I wasn't fine. So, how'd I do ladies? Good? Girl power!"

I was... oookay. I'll presume that Mulvaney was performing a parody of what being a girl is all about? Because I'm a girl/woman/female and I don't do any of that stuff. I have to say that I didn't find the video (or the others like it by Mulvaney that I watched) to be particularly entertaining. In fact, I found these videos to be kind of cringe-worthy. Was that the point of these videos? Did I miss some kind of profound statement on being female that only Dylan Mulvaney might convey to me?

I'm not anti-LGBT (God forbid I should be against anyone who just wants to live their life the way they wish to live without hurting anyone else). I just don't see what all the buzz is about Mulvaney. Now, trans-woman and British comedian Suzy Izzard (also known for many years as Eddie Izzard) I've always found to be hilariously funny and genuinely talented (Izzard also has some genuinely profound things to say).

Am I missing something with Mulvaney?

beer like Bud Light,

I agree with you about the worthless "Cereals" from Kellogs and General Mills that I used to believe were foods. The problem with these horrid cereals is that they claim to be staple foods and are not. Beer on the other hand doesn't claim to be a healthy food. Its a treat for the occasional user. We don't send our children to school with beer in their bellies. Cereal, on the other hand, is an evil that ought to be boycotted. They have harmed the health of many children -- probably you and I also. A court ought to seize every box and stop their operations. What the hell is the FDA good for? It must be so frustrating to work for that institution and not be allowed to do what they exist for. Its like if the DMV's job was to flatten tires.

But what about the dangers of masturbation?

Most people forget one of the main claims when cold cereal was first invented.

Yes, I would think I was a woman. And no, I would not want to have sex with men.

So you would be a homosexual woman.

 

[Subduction Zone]

It is a no win question. Those that oppose trans people but deny the science end up either having to say that they would crave penis or that the are not a woman. The lesson is do not deny the science that supports those that oppose your beliefs.
