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

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

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

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

      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.

        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.

        No, your idea that chickens exist exclusively for eating is wrong :thumbsup:

          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.

            I'm just pointing out how idiotic it is to state that humans or chickens "exist for eating", nothing else.

              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:
