Smart move. If gibberish was my strong suit, I would choose it also! A sure winner!

Nice selective quotation.
================================
quote:
If one accepts that sex and gender are different, it defies both logic and observation to argue that there are zero people on this planet who display behaviors that are commonly associated with a gender that is different from their sex.

Thats the strawman you based the rest on.

Considering you don't accept that sex and gender are different, how could what I said possibly be a strawman for your argument?

I don't happen to advocate explanations for cultural twitches.

Give or take a year, when did this idea of ones gender split from ones biological sex? Just curious.

Okay, here is why this is a dangerous abnormality:

1. Insane parents are pushing and prodding children to assume gender bending dynamics at unbelievably young ages. Some as young 3 or 4. Children that age shouldn't even know what a gender is. Ever read or watch I am Jazz?

2. To deny that this is a mental illness defies logic. It sets many of these "confused" people up for serious medical problems and mental problems indefinitely. If I walk into a doctor's office and say I want to remove my healthy foot because I feel like it needs amputating. They will refuse and make sure I receive mental health counseling. If I want to have a healthy penis or breasts removed, they will send me be mentally evaluated so they can begin the process. I will be given hormone treatments and coaxed into my "lifestyle".

3. Women's sports are going to suffer greatly. Even with hormone replacements, a man is bigger, stronger, and faster. A woman who is taking make hormones is bigger, stronger, and faster. Real women are already losing events to "female" competitors.

4. Women and men have thousands of biological differences. Plugging in some hormones and putting on a costume does not actually change the biology.

5. When this behavior is endorsed and supported by media, universities, and other organizations, it is a clear nod to moral relativity that will continue to erode the foundations of common sense and normal society. These people are sick, literally. They are mentally ill and should be treated as such.

Nah, not if everyone adheres to other societal norms regarding things like violence (non-violence?) and suffers the appropriate consequences for not doing so.

I think that's a question of degree.

Obviously a society in which people are coming to blows over the issue is less preferable to one in which they simply have vociferous verbal disagreements, but it's my contention that one in which people have vociferous verbal disagreements over the issue is less preferable to one in which society is harmonious over it.
