        i’m sorry, and i’m well aware that it’s not the “popular” or “in” thing to think, but in this situation, on a birth certificate, we aren’t gender neutral. we’re one of very specific genders.

        and THAT is what is on birth certificates. nowhere on a birth certificate is there a place for what gender we identify as. that comes with time. there’s no space for “gender” except where the sex of the infant is born.

        Maybe there should be a space for “later”

        Okay so I’m a little confused: what is the purpose of sex on a birth certificate

        To show what you were born genetically, because it matters as least health wise. Regardless of gender identity. There are still health issues that need to be watched for. You can be born female and feel male but you are still at higher risk of breast cancer than being born male.

        That’s exactly what I thought. If it’s for medical reasons, biology doesn’t give a flying fuck what you identify as. So if that’s the case, this is so asinine it’s hard to comprehend.

        Have you honestly never heard of intersexed people? Biology doesn't give a flying fuck how ignorant people are. Biology will throw in an extra X chromosome, maybe give birth to a chimera with two sets of DNA, one XX the other XY. Good medical reason, right?

        So I’m going to try and keep this simple: intersex and transgenderism are NOT the same claim. Can we start from that premise?

        He didn't say they were. He said you don't fully understand the topic. And that biology does matter. That the genetic material is as simple as you think.

        What do you mean I don’t understand the topic I just said I’m fully aware of intersex people but that has nothing to do with the claim. If the point of identifying biology sex on the certificate is for medical usage, how you identify means nothing

        Essentially, even if you are intersex, that is still biology. If you identify as male that doesn’t change your intersex biology. And from what I just read I had the impression that the point was to change it to fit how you identify, which is useless to medical science

        Now? Yeah. You’re damn right. Why? I opened my eyes. But, that has NOTHING to do with the fact that YOU are applauding the ignoring of scientific fact. ONLY complete conditioning and emotional manipulation can function within that kind of hypocrisy.

        It doesn’t matter how I “feel.” It doesn’t matter how you “feel.” Feelings aren’t facts. SCIENCE points to a change in our planet’s weather. As for the cause, science and time will show. It is utterly foolish to “feel” we know the answer now.

        Aight. Thanks. Sometimes I just like to draw out these arguments until I’m sure the person I’m talking to is an absolute idiot. Thanks for obliging
