Yes. Am I limited in some way by what other people say?Brian Peacock wrote:Have you read anything of this thread other than its title?
Don't you? Gender reassignment suggests that a gender is connected with the sexual organs. Aren't you aware that whether you're a man or a woman, or something else, has nothing to do with what bits and pieces you were born with? Or, do you take a position other than that?Brian Peacock wrote: In fact, do you believe any of what you've just written?

It's now "gender CONFIRMATION surgery" because you're not "reassigning" gender. The person's gender is the person's gender regardless of their bits and pieces. The surgery is only being made to confirm the person's gender, because their body has it wrong. The real gender is what a person feels like, not what their bits are.

But, what I typed is not any sort of pretending. That's the reality of identity politics today. It really isn't "gender reassignment" it is sometimes still said to be "sexual reaassignment" by those who think "sex" is something you're body is born as, but "gender" is something you identify as. But, we can see that academia is fast peddling the notion that biological sex is a myth and is itself a social construct.

No, I have no problem stating my actual view on anything. Ask me a question. I'll answer it, and I'll tell you it's my actual view.Brian Peacock wrote:5.25 x 7 sometimes comes across as someone who doesn't really have the confidence to state their actual view on something like this, so they plump for the smoke and mirrors of faux irony and hope for plausible deniability if it gets a bit sticky.

Re: Gender Reassignment Surgery
So you don't believe what you posted and instead chose to ridicule what consider the errant views of others.

LOL - yes, yes, it's only Americans that are internet trolls. The reaction in the UK, Germany, Poland, Russia and elsewhere would never include the reaction of a minority of internet trolls making shitty comments.
