    Gender is binary. Sex is a verb. One's gender is determined by the presence or the absence of a Y-chromosome. One's sex is determined by one's conduct. To paraphrase Forest Gump, "sex is what sex does".

    What about a person born with both sex organs ? If xx still a female and if xy still a male? So you just get rid of the wrong organ ? I think that is what we once did.

    Both xx and xy people can have gender dysphoria which is a mental affliction .Similar to a messiah complex .In all 3 cases the person thinks they are something that they are not.

    I bet if a man thinks he is a female a regimen of the male hormone might fix his delusion. Probably has low T.

    There are men that think they're women and women that think they're men.
    If an xx or an xy are born with superfluous appendages, they can keep them of remove them.

    No, it's a noun, at least in proper English.
    If it's a verb, how come you're using it as a noun?
    No it isn't.

    WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER ANYONE

    DEFINING THEMSELVES AS ELLEN DEGENERAS ON THE ACADEMY AWARDS.


    As a kid I could innocently watch Laurel and Hardy share a bed
    without sexuality implications.
    So were Laurel and Hardy "gay"?
    Why does anyone need to know or have it force fed?

    Why do you get to force others to play your game of let's pretend with you? You're male and you want to wear a dress fine, but don't expect me to call you by the female pronoun when you clearly are not.

    Sex is something I do; it's not something I am.
    Gender is binary; sex is a verb.

    "Force" is a stretch. Law is force. Government is force. I do not equate entertaining ideas without accepting them with "force". Annoying?, yes. Insufferably annoying?, sure. But not force. Words are not violence.

    We "suffer" what others do, or don't do, with their liberty and private property because a nation of people cannot long retain for themselves more individual liberty or private property than they have tolerance for what others do, or don't do, with their liberty or private property. We "suffer" folly because that's the price of free-speech.

    I don't understand. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. If you don't want to address people as they wish to be addressed simply don't address them. It's your right to interact or not with whoever you wish, and theirs to interact or not with you. If you don't like somebody, leave them alone. What is your problem with that?

    Sex is a noun. There are many verbs that deal with it.

    I agree with your statement as long as the only issue is some guy wearing a dress.....

    -I take exception however when that guy wearing a dress wants to compete against my daughter in a State Finals track meet and he destroys the competition. At that point I have a real problem with pretending that he is a female.

    - I would take exception if my 16 yr old son wanted to start taking female hormones because he thinks that he is a female. That is an awfully big decision to make at such a young age. It may not be my business if it is a stranger, but when it is a loved one, I am going to be honest about my real feelings on the subject.

    I agree something should be done about trans who do it JUST to gain an unfair advantage. We need a return to good sportsmanship in sports, that would help.

    Your minor son is your responsibility, no question. Once he is 18 he is not.

    Sex is of course not a verb, according to basic English grammar.

    **** would be an example of a verb.

    I disagree. There is an entire industry of people who make that their business; and thank God they do; we wouldn't want those people removing their own superfluous appendages.

    If your sex is a noun, you're doing it wrong. My sex is defined by what I do sexually. My gender is defined by the presence or the absence of a y-chromosome.

    I think we need to come up with more terms to describe, cause I agree that in the case of say medical industry, knowing what organs a person has is important, do they have male or female organs or both

    i'm ok with those people's preferrences, what i'm not ok with is laws forcing me to remember which of the alphebit soup they identify with on any given day, & then impose a fine of up to $100,000 usd for getting it wrong... yes, that is law in ny...

    agree, say if Trump tomorrow decided to claim he was a woman, just so he then could brag that he was the first woman President, thus stealing that title from any future women

    I think some on both sides take this too far

    there can be feminine men and masculine women - and I think this is part genetic, maybe even part spiritual as in your soul or life force is feminine or masculine

    think of this way, if ones soul was put in the opposite genders body, what would they be - what if the new body had both sex organs?

    then we have animals that can swap genders via epigenetics - it can get weird - can that happen with humans too

    agree with you there, laws were meant to be gender and racially neutral...

    but that is the catch 22, in this case some on both sides feel there should be laws to say what group they identify with

    but how does one deal with people that try to use laws to attack the other side or tax advantage of it sexually to say sneak a peek in a womens bathroom

    violent sports are an area I agree that this becomes much more complex

    some on both sides take this too far, both sides have valid arguments, but both take it too far
