You'll dig out the explanation offered up by a woman afflicted with TG? Kind of don't think that will qualify as either unbiased or scientific.

What will you accept? (Actually it was a man who knew by age 7 that "he" was female, and took all the correct steps to make the change.)Quote:

UN Women's UK chapter was founded in 2010 . The mission of the agency is for "gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls" .
United Nations: Gender equality and women's empowerment
So how did the UK branch choose to empower women and girls ?
They appointed a transformer model as their ambassador.
17 groups representing REAL women penned a letter of opposition

On top of the fact that he is not a woman ; He has used his celebrity in the past to make racist comments .
I'll say it again. The transformer movement has set back women's rights back years
That which is not based upon the biased, non-scientific account of one person.Quote:

I read a book recently about a woman who was a radical lesbian activist. She had her PhD and was a wheel in a major university, leading the movement for "gay rights". But then she met a pastor who introduced her to Jesus and her life changed. She married a man and had two children. She still sometimes has desire for women, but she put that aside to follow a greater desire and a much greater truth. Her story is the story of one person, just like the person you mentioned was just one individual. So will you accept her story as the norm for all lesbian women?
Perhaps that is because the women's rights movement eventually devolved into something that was nothing more than a reactionary political movement that wasn't so much about women's rights as it was about power.Quote:

Obviously, she is bi, not 100% lesbian.Quote:

I guess, especially for Wondergirl, the question now is, What is a woman ?
Also a biological man, that displays as male, yet identifies female and dresses as a woman, how do we address them ?
The term used to be transvestite, but I guess that's no longer allowed.
A transvestite (e.g., a drag queen) is NOT a transgender, not in any way, shape or form.

The same dictionary defines transgender:
of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity is opposite the sex the person was identified as having at birth.
The person doesn't have a choice in the matter.
Everyone has a choice. The TV can just as effectively argue that he was supposedly born with a desire to dress like a woman. It's always a choice, a decision, that takes place.Quote:

And the answer to the BIG ticket item is......

Especially when your body says you're a male but your hormones and brain are screaming that you're a female.Quote:

Except that TG is not related to hormones. When hormones "scream" to a person that she is female, it's because she is female. There is no indication that I'm aware of that hormones have anything to do with TG. You have tried in the past to link some hormonal treatment of pregnant women to TG, but as has been pointed out frequently, that particular medical treatment was stopped fifty years ago, so you have been left, so far as I can see, with no support for that idea.Quote:

Yes, that person is male-looking when "he" takes off his clothes, but hormones and chromosomes say female.Quote:

Time for you to leave the science learning you got in the '70s and then handed out after that.Quote:
