    The future: Couples signing an affidavit supporting their claim that they "are now, and always have been the gender which they are presenting themselves to be". Mark my words, this is going to happen.

    Blood tests before marriage to check for the presence of STDs, and the appropriately gendered chromosomes. :wtf: :wtf: This will create a new era of modesty - don't want to accidentally... umm... you know... errr... let's wait for the tests.

      In the US, I'd say that it has to happen; it's a question from the free market, and somebody will cater to their "needs". Lets hope the rest of the world keeps classifying animals according to the biological gender; a chicken is not called a chicken because it identifies as one, but because it lays eggs. No one cares how the chicken identifies itself.

          For anyone that doesn't know the ads, I googled them; the ads don't run here on TV but most will recognize the cows that claim you need to eat more chicken :) Chick fil A - Cow in a wig - Best commercial ever ! - YouTube[^] Should we warn them about milking bulls that identify as a cow, or should I simply already start drinking the coffee black? :~

              When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

                I'm planning to start a billion dollar business by enabling muslims to enjoy the wonderful flavors of bacon. I will raise pigs that self identify as halal cows.

                        Further proof that what people like this need is good strong counseling. I feel bad for them. It must be very hard to have a transgender condition. I can't even imagine.

                        Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

                            100% agree. They need a support network that will confirm them in who they are and let them know they have value as who they are - rather than encouraging them to live a lie hoping to find value and acceptance as something they aren't. Clearly their family and friends are not providing this love and support for them.

                                  I used to think that way until I had kids. No matter how good a parent is, once kids reach a certain age they can choose whatever they want. I've learned to not judge parents so quickly. Good parent does not necessarily mean good child, nor the converse.

                                    Really? Does that mean you believe people are transgender by choice?

                                      Today, I came up with a new slang term for that - "boner broth". BWA HA HA HA!!!!

                                      When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

                                        Why would someone choose to do that? Yes, of course, biologically they are what they are. But you think they are making it up? Why would they do that?

                                          Why would someone shoot up a school? Why would someone abuse a child? Why would someone hate another person? Why would someone abuse power? Why would someone drive a car into a crowd of people? Why would someone drive a truck into a sidewalk? It is a choice. It is a result of free will.
