Third Sex Bathroom

Post Reply New Topic

I think it's economically unfeasible and a waste of money. Are there really that many transgenders to warrant this?

I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I know it happens, but it's a an anomaly. Human beings were not meant to have both testes and ovaries. It makes no biological sense, needless to say. A congenital birth-defect is not something on which one can pass moral judgment, but that happens anyway, doesn't it?

If it's so ambiguous, who's to say the surgeons made the "wrong?" decision? How can anyone know that if the baby presents with something so baffling?

They only know later in life. When they grow in mature, they find themselves as transgendered. They feel as if their sex is wrong. It's actually a pretty fascinating thing. I've taken courses on it. It can be horrible for transsexual individuals, and it is something the general populace should know more about.

To your first comment, I had never heard that. Gender is a psychological thing, so I don't think there could be a blood test for it. Or do you mean check the DNA to see if there's a Y or another X? Still, the chromosomes may not match up with the gender or sex. It is possible to develop as the opposite sex, as that is mostly a hormonal thing.

To the second, it's a bit of both. It really depends on the transgendered person. A transsexual will feel like they are in the wrong body. Some trangenders can deal with their sex, but are just differently gendered, not filling the gender role. That's more like me.

No problem. Take your time to articulate. Also, a general apology to all I may have offended. I can never tell if I'm coming across as rude. I just want to make sure that people don't think I'm angry or crazy or shouting at them. Sex, gender, and sexuality are things I feel passionate about, and it's a topic of interest for me. Please don't mistake my zeal for fury!

If I were like you, Maldane, I'd be very knowledgeable about these sex&gender issues as well. I don't have the knowledge or understanding because it's not relevant to my life. That does not make me stupid or ignorant.

It does not make you stupid, but it does make you ignorant of the issues. Even if I were not gay, I would feel it necessary to fight for gay rights. It's a matter of conscience for me. It is the next great civil rights battle in this country.

Please ... please ... please do not call me IGNORANT.

I've asked nicely have I not? Would you like me to call you some names?

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean any offense. I just meant that you are not that knowledgeable in this particular sphere. I was not trying to insult you, I really don't think you're stupid or terribly uninformed. I just think that you could learn more about this issue. I am very sorry to have offended you.
