  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Scientist" are claiming there is a self separate from biology.
There is body, sex and "self -representation" gender

Interesting
What scientists are actually claiming is that people with GD have a brain that more closely corresponds to those usually found in the other sex.

So all the other biological organs are male, and the cells in that brain have the exact same DNA with the Y Chromosome but the brain somehow manifested as Female?

Then DNA does not code for brains? Somehow a male code for that one organ, brain, was rendered as biologically female?

BTW, I seriously do resent people who claim that female brains is somehow different than males. A female brain does not gender incline women to knitting or to enjoying that pursuit.

I can definitely see making Easter a fixed day. This floating day based on the cycles of the moon and the seasons seems very pagan. I've actually had Christians argue with me when I tell them how they determine what day Easter is on. They instinctually get angry, because they can't comprehend how deeply Christianity is tied with paganism.

April first would be a fine day for Easter...
Pretty much all of the commanded times for feasts and sabbaths except for the Saturday sabbath were based on moon cycles in the Old Testament.

My talking points are how scientists talk about gender.
Ok, I did some research into the "science" from "scientist" who are studying whether there is a physical reality to transgender.
This is a quote:
"The term gender is harder to define, as it is to do with how someone identifies, how a person fits in with the social norms, activities and attributes that are commonly associated with men and women."

That is stereotyping.

Sounds a bit like this chart.

The brains of typical womens ARE different than those of males. That has nothing to do with knitting.

I think the prevalent theory is that hormones from the mothers system change the brain while in the womb, or something like that.

Many people have hormonal imbalances that are treated with appropriate hormone.
According to that chart, it would be more appropriate to treat the biological irregularities that would correct it rather than take the drastic measures of surgically removing or cosmetically altering the entire body to match.

It is like a tall patient who believes he is Napoleon. We don't cut off his feet, sew his hand inside his coat and address him as emperor.
We do give him drugs and other treatment to make him himself.

If a woman is exhibiting features that are irregular for females, then the ideal would be to match the closest sex, which would be female, not male.

Even if you were right about the part you bolded, the part I bolded isn't stereotyping.

"How someone identifies" is stereotyping, internalized
I
t is a well know fact that men have been in the past and even now, very sensitive to being thought "girly" or "feminine"
Women don't want to appear strong, athletic and able to lift weight for fear of being thought "mannish" and "butch"

That is internalized standard of society reflected in the individuals measure of him or herself.

Actual doctors and mental health professionals disagree. I'm going to listen to them.
Not the doctors and mental professionals that aren’t manipulated by the work and the LGBT agenda.

Gender isn’t a social construct. It’s a biological reality.

Not interested in conspiracy theories. It has it's own section.
It’s not a conspiracy theory. I’m not interested in anyone that wants to mock and insult God and pretend to be something they aren’t.

You can define words however you like, but you don't get to dictate how everyone else uses words.
Words have meanings. That’s why there are dictionaries. A biological male is not a woman. Period.

Judging by her post, yes, I'm sure. Gender disphoria isn't about disliking bras.
It seemed to go deeper than that to me. And GD is nothing more than a "spectrum of feelings".

Exactly right! Feelings are subject to change. They do not define reality. Biology, on the other hand, does.

You get it even when you don't want to.

In a few posts you have been telling us that you can rope 'n' ride and drive trucks just like men. Goshdarn, there ain't nothing you cain't do that they can! But you are mentally comparing yourself to men. If there was no difference then you wouldn't have anything to compare yourself against. But the world is obviously, patently, undoubtedly divided into male and female (with a tiny proportion of exceptions). As regards sex. But not as regards gender.

It's been explained to you what the difference is. And I honestly don't care if you either don't understand it or refuse to except it. But any discussion that you have on transgender will be something of a waste of time if you refuse to acknowledge gender actually exists.

That said, if you change the word sex to gender at the end of your quote above then it will all fall into place.
