In a total Grussian approach, I think there are two different (and admittedly rude) ways to look at this statement: 1. You were never "forced into a gender" and have no excuse for being the batshit crazy person you are, thus rendering your argument moot. 2. You were "forced into a gender" and are still batshit crazy but your topic and gender bias' render your argument moot. > which is too late by the time they can "choose" to > get their gender reassigned... Why are there only two options, either you "force them into a gender" or you treat them as some "science experiment"? Why cant there be a third more common sense approach? Why cant the parents let their kid be what shehe wants to be? Why cant they, as conscientious parents, raise a boy or girl who understands what it means to be a boy or a girl but also understands that gender roles are not absolute? Oh they might even tell himer that they will love himer whatever shehe becomes (gender-ly, romantically, professionally, etc.) Seems like pretending heris is genderless (nothing) is much more harmful then letting himer know that shehe will be supported unconditionally. Seems easy to me but then again, I'm not all hopped up on lithium, so I should be more understanding of your plight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:338342 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
