    You are not paying attention. It makes no difference. Do you know the difference between gender and sex?

    Here, I will give you a hint.

    Actually it does going by that link you posted…

    In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics. To summarise:
    Sorry. I pasted the wrong thing....something I was looking at earlier.

    This is more clear.

    The distinction between sex and gender differentiates sex (the anatomy of an individual's reproductive system, and secondary sex characteristics) from gender, which can refer to either social roles based on the sex of the person (gender role) or personal identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness (gender identity).[1][2] In some circumstances, an individual's assigned sex and gender do not align, and the person may be transgender,[1] or intersex.

    The sex and gender distinction is not universal. In ordinary speech, sex and gender are often used interchangeably.[3][4] Some dictionaries and academic disciplines give them different definitions while others do not.

    Among scientists, the term sex differences (as compared to gender differences) is typically applied to sexually dimorphic traits that are hypothesized to be evolved consequences of sexual selection.[5][6]

    Society has to make up our mind how to identify people
    Male, Female or Transgender
    They are simply men and women born with the wrong bodies.
    So we should just identify them as that? - "born with the wrong body"?
    Do you know how belittling that suggestion is?
    Male, Female or Transgender, simple.

    No, you identify them as whatever they with to be identified as.
    What's belittling? No idea what you mean. That transgendered people feel like they were born with the wrong body is basically the defining feature of being transgendered.
    OK, so Bruce Jenner was a man, married, has kids and loves women and was heterosexual.

    Now Bruce is Caitlyn, has boobs, his man parts, still loves women and is now a woman...

    So is she a lesbian now?
    I don't know. Who cares? I don't see how that makes any difference.
    Why comment if you don't care then?

    I thought it was an interesting question to ask...
    I think part of the point is that we as a society seem to have this obsession with labelling everything, which is part of the problem. are you hetero? homo? bi?

    how about "I'm just me"?

    No, we have a gutless society that placates to the extreme minority. Transgender is not normal. We don't have an obsession with labeling. We just know that people are born male and female. Whether one has a chemical imbalance in the brain shouldn't add a third gender type.

    Are people like Jenner bad people? No, of course not. Should they be treated with respect? Of course. But should society have to adapt to them based on their decisions about their bodies? I don't think so.
    Are not "normal" and "abnormal" labels as well? And what is normal or abnormal anyway? I've never understood that nor care.
    I agree totally!

    WOW!!!! Really??

    Okay here we go....

    Transgender is waaaay more normal than you think or want to believe.
    YES there is an obsession with labeling in our society.
    It is NOT as simple as being born male or female.
    Transgender is NOT about a chemical imbalance.
    Their should absolutely be some adaptation in society. Not necessarily complete acquiescence. But some positive change would be nice.

    Calling transgenderism a chemical imbalance is the same as calling it a mental illness. :nuh_uh:
    Calling transgenderism a decision is the same as calling it a choice. :nuh_uh:

    Yes, it really does feel like we're just regurgitating a conversation about gay people back in the 90s when everyone was freaking out about gayness because of AIDS. :confounded: But now the resistance is because of..... ?? Too many washroom types?? Btw, having a third washroom for transgendered people seems fairly offensive to me.

  • I really don't care what Caitlyn Jenner calls herself; my real issue is that she is only winning these awards because she's transgendered. I mean, how did she score an ESPY when she hasn't been an active athlete in decades? The same thing is true of this award. What redeeming qualities does Jenner bring to the table that would make her worthy of being declared woman of the year? Perhaps her intolerance towards same-sex marriage put her over the top.

    This board is so predictable. I went out of my way to say I had nothing against transgender people and get treated like a devil and someone who is going to discriminate like segregation. If anyone has any links to message boards that allow differing opinions let me know.

    Do you know how belittling that suggestion is?
    Male, Female or Transgender, simple.

    No, you identify them as whatever they with to be identified as.
    What's belittling? No idea what you mean. That transgendered people feel like they were born with the wrong body is basically the defining feature of being transgendered.
    OK, so Bruce Jenner was a man, married, has kids and loves women and was heterosexual.

    Now Bruce is Caitlyn, has boobs, his man parts, still loves women and is now a woman...

    So is she a lesbian now?
    I don't know. Who cares? I don't see how that makes any difference.
    Why comment if you don't care then?

    I thought it was an interesting question to ask...
    I think part of the point is that we as a society seem to have this obsession with labelling everything, which is part of the problem. are you hetero? homo? bi?

    how about "I'm just me"?

    No, we have a gutless society that placates to the extreme minority. Transgender is not normal. We don't have an obsession with labeling. We just know that people are born male and female. Whether one has a chemical imbalance in the brain shouldn't add a third gender type.

    Are people like Jenner bad people? No, of course not. Should they be treated with respect? Of course. But should society have to adapt to them based on their decisions about their bodies? I don't think so.
    Kinda like how being gay isn't normal? I wouldn't expect a post like this in 2015......blast from the past man.
    Seriously. Is it 1991 again?
    This board is so predictable. I went out of my way to say I had nothing against transgender people and get treated like a devil and someone who is going to discriminate like segregation. If anyone has any links to message boards that allow differing opinions let me know.
    Yes, you very clearly stated that you have nothing against abnormal people who have chemical imbalances in their brain. We all got that.

    You are not paying attention. It makes no difference. Do you know the difference between gender and sex?

    Here, I will give you a hint.

    http://www.med.monash.edu.au/gendermed/sexandgender.html
    Actually it does going by that link you posted…

    In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics. To summarise:
    Sorry. I pasted the wrong thing....something I was looking at earlier.

    This is more clear.

    The distinction between sex and gender differentiates sex (the anatomy of an individual's reproductive system, and secondary sex characteristics) from gender, which can refer to either social roles based on the sex of the person (gender role) or personal identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness (gender identity).[1][2] In some circumstances, an individual's assigned sex and gender do not align, and the person may be transgender,[1] or intersex.

    The sex and gender distinction is not universal. In ordinary speech, sex and gender are often used interchangeably.[3][4] Some dictionaries and academic disciplines give them different definitions while others do not.

    Among scientists, the term sex differences (as compared to gender differences) is typically applied to sexually dimorphic traits that are hypothesized to be evolved consequences of sexual selection.[5][6]

    yeah, you said you respect her, yet called her mentally unstable.

    I have no problem with people saying they believe they think it to be unnatural, that is your opinion, and can be stated in a respectful manner. but that's not what you did.

    transgendered is not a third gender. it's what you call someone in the middle of their transition. once she is fully female, if she decides to do that, she will no longer be transgendered. she will be female.

    We are casually calling male and female "labels". I think that is ridiculous.

    no, sexual orientation is what i was referring to with regards to the labels.

    Calling transgenderism a chemical imbalance is the same as calling it a mental illness. :nuh_uh:
    Calling transgenderism a decision is the same as calling it a choice. :nuh_uh:

    Yes, it really does feel like we're just regurgitating a conversation about gay people back in the 90s when everyone was freaking out about gayness because of AIDS. :confounded: But now the resistance is because of..... ?? Too many washroom types?? Btw, having a third washroom for transgendered people seems fairly offensive to me.

    Yeah the third restroom idea is a tough one. As a father of three girls I can see being a little nervous that a man (technically) is occupying a restroom with my girls when it isn't acceptable for me to enter the restroom, etc.

    At the same time I realize that this person (assuming a man transgenders to woman) has most likely no interest in anything other than using the restroom.

    I know some people would consider a gay man using a men's restroom as creepy or unacceptable, etc. It's an odd argument for sure but in the end we don't really follow each other around and keep track of gender or sexual preference.

    As far as I can tell, your opinion is allowed here, just like everyone else's. I guess you're really looking to find a message board where everyone agrees with you? You don't seem to appreciate others' opinions about your opinions.
    I've noticed that there are a whole lot of pots calling kettles black around here lately.

    There is no difference between gay straight transgender whatever. All humans period. If you see any different your sad and insecure.

    I love that there are differences in humans. If the world were all the same it would be bland and boring. This is the same concept as giving kids participation trophies. Differences have to be recognized. Discriminating the differences is another thing.

    Too many characters to reply to posts and on my cell phone. To comment to BrianLux's post about normal and abnormal:

    I didn't mean normal as good and abnormal as bad. If 95 out of 100 apples are red then it would be normal for apples to be red.

    I wasn't trying to get rid of "labels" per se. I agree labels are bad in cases but was mainly saying we shouldn't be flippant by saying male and female are just labels. These are important distinctions. Certainly they don't dictate what people can do in life but we shouldn't discard them as male and female are generally quite different from each other.
