Berkeley Prof tangles with Sen Hawley, calls him trans phobic

So I guess nothing matters and everything is arbitrary which always seems to be the conclusion with you.

Good talk.

 

There's a connection between gender and sex, but they're not the same. It's why gender differs across societies and cultures.

 

Ah, they can "basically" do what they want . . . except for a bunch of things they want to do that Republican governments have passed discriminatory laws and policies to prevent them from doing. Thanks for the clarification.

 

I'm not worried. "Conservatives" have a truly unrivaled record of being on the wrong side of history in this country.

 

What rights are you talking about? I probably agree.

 

Just because literally everything is made up in this world doesnt mean it doesnt matter, it obviously does, people kill over it.

 

There are many more problems with Josh Hawley than how he wants to refer to pregnant transmen. As I previously stated it's fine with me if they want to refer to themselves as men although as far as I'm concerned someone with functioning ovaries and a uterus and the capability of pregnancy is still a woman.

 

What do you think being a man or a woman 'depends' on? There are people who have gone through most of their adult life as a man even though they were born with the anatomy of a female (and vice versa). Few knew and they were accepted as the gender they presented themselves as. So was this person a man or a woman? What does that determination 'depend' on for you?

 

There's this thing called artificial insemination. As for sex, there are these things called strap-ons.

 

Because they want a baby?

 

That’s exactly what I was saying. You have the plumbing for a woman, but have sex with a man. Are you a gay man born in a woman’s body? I think that could happen. Why not? No? Yes?

 

I have an acquaintance who was a man and transitioned to be a woman and she married a woman after that. And they have a baby.

 

That’s just it. You can be a gay man in a woman’s body or a gay woman in a man’s body. Ahh Mother Nature. We are all just learning about the complexity of that which makes us organic human beings.

 

Hey 715, does this count as a "traditional marriage"?
