I rest my case.A woman can have a penis. A female can't. Not all women are female. Some women are male.

Our science cannot yet turn a man into a woman or a woman into a man. Where you've seen attempts at it they are no more than a surgical charade.Medicine and engineering are the use of science to manipulate and change what nature has given us, if we don’t like it. Is that wrong?
Trump said if you are famous you can even grab it.True, but we do have an administration that is telling us that a woman can also have a penis.
I'm not surprised.I rest my case.
Or another sign that Biden is not really in charge--he didn't hire so he cannot fire.In another sign of stability returning to this country since Trump has gone:
What do you mean the right? Have you seen the outrage at people refusing to vvaccinate?My body, my business.....unless it upsets the right, then its my body, everyone else's business.
Correct. Gender is a grammatical category used in the classification of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives.Gender is not decided by genes.
True.Biological sex is decided by genes.
Word salad. It is incorrect to say that person has a gender though the word person might be in some languages.Gender often matches biological sex, but it is not inextricable from it as gender can be changed. Sex can't be.
He has you cold. Did you not notice?I'm not surprised.
They are not pretending to be a sex which they are not. They are identifying as a gender they relate to.Word salad. It is incorrect to say that person has a gender though the word person might be in some languages.
If you are saying that a person can pretend to be a sex which they are not, of course, they can. However, it is just pretending. It is not something that should have weight in rules and regulations which differentiate by sex.
On every thread Republicans are unable to defend themselves. They say little or nothing. Yet they are expected to win in November.In other words,Trump was the worst President this country has ever had.
Currently, Trump is the leading Republican candidate for President in 2024.
Go figure. The GOP is being led by fools.

Yeah, where are the indictments and prison sentences? We're in year two!You mean he's not on his third chief of staff, second secretary of state, and several haven't been indicted?
I'm expressing neither like or dislike. I'm simply telling you what it is and what it is not. Though you're right, it's not about me. And it's not about you. It's not even about them. It's about reality.It’s cosmetic surgery. People get surgery to look the way that makes them feel better about themselves. You don’t have to like it. It’s not about you.
Let's clear up one thing. You are using the term gender inappropriately. People do not have gender; words do. It's a grammatical thing.They are not pretending to be a sex which they are not. They are identifying as a gender they relate to.
This is relevant of what? Laws, regulations, and rules apply to a scientifically determinable feature and not to a personal choice.Long hair and dresses are not characteristics of the female sex. They are gender expressions, and as such they can be expressed by both males and females.
Agreed, it's nice to not hear about a new departure followed by a new tell-all book every third week.In another sign of stability returning to this country since Trump has gone: I just realized how stable and quiet Biden's cabinet has been. Despite saying "I only hire the best people", Trump's cabinet was just one big rotating door of people coming and going. No one could stick around for more than a few months, except his own family members. There was just so much movement and noise and commotion and cussing and hard feelings and backbiting, etc, etc... it was hard to figure out what was what. This did not give confidence we we were dealing with someone who had the first clue what they were doing.
It's a little like the difference between driving in a luxury car, where you don't even hear the engine or know that the car is gliding along the road at high speeds, vs riding in a crickety old wagon where you feel every single bump on the road and the wheels are coming off every 2 minutes.
Are you denying that gender identity and trans people exist?True, but we do have an administration that is telling us that a woman can also have a penis.
I think he is jealous of her.You're really stuck on that subject, aren't you?
No one has ever denied that. In effect, you are denying that biological sex exists.Are you denying that gender identity and trans people exist?
Biological sex and gender identity both exist. Trans people would not exist if it didn't.No one has ever denied that. In effect, you are denying that biological sex exists.
Biological sex is the legal standard. Gender identity is not relevant to how the law applies. If there are any exceptions, they would need to be expressly stated.

And the white house day press conferances are no longer adversarial and laced with hate and venom.
That is fiction.Ahahaha! You mean the people who ask questions are more polite. They are handpicked and vetted, for the most part, feeding scripted questions.
You seem to thinkBiological sex and gender identity both exist.
So?Trans people would not exist if it didn't.
This is correct unless the law itself makes an exception.Gender identity cannot apply to the law
This is not relevant. The law only cares for what science can prove.because nobody knows that it is different except those trans people who come out.
and irrelevant. The law deals with biological sex and makes no allowances for gender identity unless expressly stated.There is some evidence that it can be imaged with an MRI, but that technology is still too new.
It matters because of the rule of law. Respect the law.Why does it matter to you and why does the law matter.
No. I am saying that the law does not make that distinction unless it is stated in so many words in the statute, regulation, or rule.Are you trying to say that trans people don't exist in the law or that the law might be able to be used to cancel their existence?
I fail to see what your argument is. Your argument is as clear as mud.You seem to think
Why?
- That someone is pretending that they do not
- That they are relevant
So?

It is what it is. if you want the law to change, then change the law. That's what the rule of law is about.
That is fiction.
Who told you that nonsense?
