 Silkweaver says: Kudos! Taking genderqueer to a whole new level is good in my book! Weird...best luck to them. Congratulations to her and her wife. I believe that mind is over body. If he says he is a man, he is. And speaking of that, he has got some balls too  I dunno, Silkweaver. I think you still count as a chick if you're getting pregnant and doing those sickeningly femmy pregnant poses in front of a camera. There's even one where he's covering his tits. This will b big news! in one of the episode of 'Bewitched', Darrin was pregnant and he palyed the part well : ) An alleged picture of Thomas from the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=546072&in_page_id=1811&ct=5 * It is the ultimate wisdom of the mountains that a man is never more a man than when he is striving for what is beyond his grasp. James Ramsey Ullman (an American writer and mountaineer) If she has female parts and is pregnant, what is the criteria for being legally deemed a male? That she's butch-looking? In my book, she's female. Hormones that give facial hair and a dark voice does not make one a man, IMO. She should be termed a female. A lesbian female, but a female nonetheless. A biological female, I mean. She may very well feel like a man, but to be called a man legally, she should have the right bits. Or if a man is very feminine looking and feels girlie, should he be allowed to by law to call himself a female? As long as the law only recognises two genders, what other criteria can we use to categorise them other than their biological bodies? Maybe we should allow for alternative 'legal' genders? Transgenders, hermaphrodites, etc. Maybe?  How about for female; She for male; Him For inbetweens; Shim. — Comment removed by clipper — Thisnamecanbetaken: Here is a question: Thinking and rethinking, I cannot find a good reason, that is, a really good reason, why should we have a legal definition for gender in the first place. And if we do, why should the biological makeup be the criterion? It seems that one's gender identity is a private individual issue. Is it necessary that one must be deprived of the right to define one's gender only on the grounds of one's biological makeup? a legal definition for gender in the first place.I haven't really given that a lot of thought, but in some instances it seems important for society to be able to distinguish biologically for reasons of fairness, like in e.g. professional sports. Places where the physical differences give an unfair advantage to one or the other gender. why should the biological makeup be the criterion?What else can they use? I guess that was picked assuming the biology of an individual to be unchanging. (unless manipulated through surgery etc). What people 'think' they are, can't be used as a criteria, because people could then theoretically pick and choose from day to ... I think gender was invented to help us distinguish and identify each, from the other. Hair colour, ethnicity etc too. (See your passport for details, heh.) and perhaps in the future, gender will be less important as an identifyer as things like biometrics etc are gaining ground etc. I liked the idea of "inbetweeners" though. The discrimination the person in the article went through in having to see so may doctor's isn't acceptable. Biological gender is not set in stone, or as simple as male/female. Why not have a "shim" category? Wow, that made me think of something. If biological gender is fluid, and sexuality is fluid, is gender identity fluid too? Or do people always feel either male or female? One or the other? Or are there examples of people who feel they are both male and female or perhaps, neither? (Irregardless of what they biologically may look like?) I don't of course mean man invented gender literally, *LOL* I mean that they chose to use it as a legal identifyer. Religious reasons probably made it a bigger deal than necessary too. Differences between genders are often translated into relative advantages, as for example in sports, in language skills etc. It seems that the law tries to regulate the fair usage of such advantages, because gender is biologically determined. I can envision a post-gender era, when human beings can transcend gender identity issues and gender differences. In such era, every human can use the relative advantages of both genders because there will be no fixed biological determination of gender. Technology can get us there if we dare  No way is that a real man it is impossible for a real man from bith to have a baby dont you think so http://pregnant-man.wedding-review.info/pregnant%20man.html |
