The thing I miss is Marius. I talked to him briefly this week - he's, like, a genuine doctor-type-thing now - and then talked so much about him afterward that my daughter asked if I was going to marry him. I told her if he were a girl, I'd be all over that...but that his being a boy might not stop ...

With so few examples, Occam's razon indicates that they are the abberations, and an immutable gender identity is the overall fact. Occam's raisons certainly indicate no such thing. That's a terrible misuse of an irrelevant heuristic. There are plenty of simpler explanations for a paucity of example...

All over the place, but let's start with your article. Please note that your particular article was written in 1973. And, it has a whopping sample size of 3 people. No, the source I used was written in 1999 and cited the 1973 case as the first instance. Barlow described that source and a brace of o...

Here's the tricky part, though. We're not defining life, we're defining "human". Actually, we're defining both. In order to answer the question of whether or not abortion is murder, we need to answer, in my mind, two questions: 1. What is life? 2. What does it mean to be "human?"

There is, for instance, the fact that gender identity can be changed purely through psychotherapy. Where on earth did you get *that* little bit of stupidity? Since the APA says that is a complete and utter joke, I'll be nice and assume you're just ignorant. Thank you ever so much for being "ni...

And there's evidence that it doesn't. Please stop trying to assert that the verdict is in on the causes of gender dysphoria, because it's most definitely not. Really? What evidence do you have that it's not biological in origin? There is, for instance, the fact that gender identity can be changed p...

Szechuan: A verbal wizard. He sees people thinking with cortex instead of emoting with the lower brain, and he doesn't like it. "Strong emotions excuse sloppy thinking," he says, "So there!" He says, "If we all agree it's wrong, we can call it anything we want, whether it's ...
