        I don’t get this. Gender is not a construct. It is science, it is nature, it is genetic make up, it is fact! You are either a male or female according to the laws of nature. What you do after that is up to you but there is no x, y or z here.

        since it clearly doesn't apply to you, then you shouldn't let it upset or confuse you so much. Stop trying to dictate how the world should be and just let it be what it really is,,,so much more than you know.

        The scientist above has never studied XXY XYY XO. Gasp, she seemed so credible in her empty argument. </s>

        It's unhealthy for society and individuals to support indulgence of transgenderism/alternate gender identities. It is a mental illness and should be treated as such.

        Transgender isn't a mental health problem.

        We used to call it "bi" back in the sixties.

        No, you didn't. Unless, of course, you were ill-informed back then, too. Sexual orientation and sexual identity are different. A transgender person can be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or asexual. Just like a cisgender person.
