even if they don't and give each other aids or get pregnant it most likely won't have anything to do with me

Right. Same arguments I made. All the transsexuals I personally know, knew they were the gender that they felt they were, long before puberty. At best the argument, that they are making the wrong decision about their gender, is weak. At worst, it is harmful and bigoted towards the Trans community.


However...I would rather err on the side of caution and be fearful of letting children go under the knife. Instead, allow for delayed puberty options under the watchful care of a physician.
I wouldn't even delay puberty. I feel the trans people are very likely deluded and I wouldn't advise altering a child's biology in any way based on that delusion.

My sense of this situation is as follows:

Mind and body are two aspects of the same entity. This has been part of the meditative perspective for millennia, as well as modern science, and heck, even common sense points us in this direction. The notion that mind and body coexist, but somehow separately, is a holdover from the Cartesian paradigm, which, IMHO, is wrong because it stems from the ego's desire to distance itself from death, ie, to distance itself from the demonstrably frail, mortal body (not a good thing to be attached to if you like feeling immortal).

That said, gender and sex are Not unrelated. If a person feels he/she is not entirely one gender or the other, this will be reflected somehow, somewhere in the body: genetically, hormonally, etc. This also means, that unless one's body is in constant metamorphosis, *gender fluid* is a myth, a myth put forth, I suspect, by (at best) adolescent exploration/experimentation, or (at worst) snowflakes determined to be *unique*.

Maybe someone who identifies as trans will have some sort of biological indicators of that disposition. But it seems to me that when they decide to go through a physical transition that it's essentially to "correct" the discrepancy between what they look like on the outside and what they feel like on the inside. So in these cases it seems their gender identity as they conceptualize it is actually not reflected in their emergent biology.

"Seems" may be the operative word. As I understand it, the feeling of being in the "wrong sex" body may stem from how the brain and body developed in the womb, ie, they were not hormonally "in synch." Thus, while Caitlin Jenner, eg, may've been conceived genetically, physiologically as male, when it came time for testosterone to kick in to fully masculinize the fetus (male or female, I think it's first exposed to estrogen in the womb -- testosterone comes later), her brain, so to speak, did not get its fair share.

I don't think we are disagreeing. I'm saying I acknowledge there might be a biological indicator that Jenner is trans... But this still doesn't manifest itself in her looking the way she feels. Because if it did there would be no need to do hormones, surgery, etc.

Agreed. That really would be gender-fluid otherwise. I think there's a species of fish that changes sex.

Hardly anyone is on the forum from that time now. It is actually a long time. Nice to see you are still here.

Those were the days, my friend. And we still have the likes of dadudemon and other, sometimes newer, colorful characters.

Yes Dadudemon is often seen as a troll like I am, however, there is much more to him. Most of the most colourful are long gone sadly.

Mindship, have you had the same avatar/sig for many years now?


I predate this account and I'm pretty sure I remember seeing your sig/avi as early as circa 2007

Yup, he is a good guy, one of the unsung of KMC like Illadelph, Blair Wind and Leonidas down in the comics section, hell even like Kris Blaze who has a brain between his ears on most things

Heh, I was wondering how long I've had them. And it probably is earlier than that.

Do we get statues? BTW, back when I was more of a Surfer fanboy, Blaze had set me straight about the Surfer-Loki fight, so he gets his statue first.

I think statues are a good idea, I remember when that guy did fantasy pictures of everyone, that was very good.

Name's vaguely familiar. Must've been back in TheOmega days ('memba her?). We actually had a few KMC women then.
