    If you just follow the bacon Eddy, wherever it leads you, then you won't have to think about politics.

      Why would someone be depressed? Why would someone die? Why would someone be attracted to the opposite gender? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

      Bloody silly questions, they are not choices that can be made. Depressed - probably because shit happened. Die - while I would like to live forever WE ALL DIE! Attraction - built into us by evolution.

        Any reason you are not also targeting Jews. Or are you simply having a Muslim rant?

        Simple economics. There are a lot more Muslims. Know your target market!

        I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave

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

            Obviously, they are transgender by choice. They choose to become a transgender. The guy in the article is nothing more than a drag queen right now. He is NOT a transgender because he hasn't had the requisite procedure(s) performed. Even after he does, he's still a dude, and straight dudes will still not be interested if he reveals his true nature.

                They are not technically transgender until they have the surgical procedures performed. Until they CHOSE to have those procedures, they're just cross-dressers (which is ALSO a choice).

                  I think we're probably using different definitions of things so I'll leave it alone now.

                      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.

                      Pretty sure chickens exist for eating. So are you claiming that humans exist only for eating? If not then your analogy is not in fact an analogy.

                        Yes - their chromosomes dictate their gender. Science. (biology to be exact) :laugh:

                        I suggest that you need to read some more actual science.

                          I suspect more that they do not understand anything about the issue at all. Just knee-jerk reaction. Something like I am sure many white people felt when watching black people move into their formerly white neighborhood 50 years ago.

                              Chickens in the modern usage of the word are referring to a animal raised on farms specifically as food. Some might produce eggs but that product is still food. And once they no longer make eggs they are reduced to food. If people stopped eating chickens then billions would need to be killed. Your analogy does not apply.

                                  And yet you were the one that decided to equate chickens with humans (not me) and that somehow complex interpersonal relationships would somehow change the nature of chickens.

                                    Yes, but that comparison still stands. If you find that baffling than that is not my problem :thumbsup:
