I notice you tend to ignore my questions. How about this? What ideological baggage do you think I carry? What's in your bag?

Have you reviewed literature on psychological treatment for gender dysphoria? How successful is it in changing the patient's gender identity to align with their genetic sex? As to my "contradiction," I was speaking more toward your silly life-threatening examples, like cancer. If a person is...

I simply took your open door and walked through it. Your OP implied that transgender individuals being XY or XX was the important factor over their gender identity, when it comes to the bathroom issue. Did I misinterpret that?

So, what's your proposed treatment and why?

I think I've adequately explained the rationale. You can, of course, disagree. Like I've said, I'm not here to convince you. Just having conversation.

That's an interesting side discussion. Who gets to decide which genetic variations are defective? And what should denote the defect? As to the original issue, my point was that a hermaphrodite is a sexual mosaic, but ultimately presents as only one gender that may or may not match the...

So, are you a determinist?

So, are violent video game developers responsible for the Columbine shootings? Where does individual responsibility stop?

Or both. But, yes, your point is taken.

I haven't tried to be cryptic. I've actually gone into great detail in my explanations. I think I've been quite clear, in fact.

Variable from individual to individual, but yes one would be dominant. I would assume that would correlate with the patient's gender phenotype, regardless of what gender was identified at birth.

Simply shows how polarized the country has become. It's unfortunate.

Been out of the loop, sitting in meetings. This guy sure seems like a fringe lunatic. Both sides have them. Just takes a push. That said, can't see how Trump could be considered at all responsible. I think he should strongly condemn it, but apologize? No.
