We were talking about why you think the reproductive system trumps the thinking system as evidence that you are a male. But why should it?

What about going to pick up a takeaway chinese and they forgot to include a dish you ordered?

So gender is a choice then? Is the brain not a key system too? No brain, you can't operate the body to reproduce.

Thanks for replying to this thread Doc. I was getting really grumpy that people were ignoring it!

Let me switch sides to the Doc's view for a second. :D Essentially, when we talk about plumbing, are we not talking about the biological construction of the body? Men have bits constructed in a different way to women and vice versa. Adam is short of a rib. Let us assume that the brain also...

There are levels of reliance. The buck stops with you. But you can rely on others with varying degrees of reliance! And others who have no reliability and therefore zero reliance.

As you can see, it is a cyclical argument. Calling someone a big makes you are bigot. That is why I never use the term.

I think I understand. You are saying I could not alter my DNA marker just by wanting it to be different. Is this not the same with gender? The brain is just one part of the body. If a man identifies with being a woman, why would he need surgery to "correct" things if he is already considering...

Bee, that is correct use of bee). You have completed 101 of lists.

They are see-through. They float around in the ether but I know they are there! [Goes off to mental health section.]

What about if the fantasies are about aliens? Do aliens have a gender?

What if you only use your own sexual organs? Does that mean you have no sexuality?

Yup. Mr Avery.

Lots of my teachers hated me because I was chatty in class. My maths teacher used to come up behind me and shove me in the back, saying, "Shut up Lawrance!" Child abuse!

But don't we all have our own internal dialogue? What is the difference?

That is totally daft. The fact she is doing a difficult degree goes to show how off target lots of the teachers are. Their biases can make them way off kilter.

Hearing voices? Is that schizophrenic?

Oooo, both very good professions. You must be proud.
