1	RISE OF THE PURPLE PENGUINS: School Told to Call Kids ‘Purple Penguins’ Because ‘Boys and Girls’ Is Not Inclusive to Transgender If it is a pathology at all it is apparently an endocrine pathology, since correcting the sex hormone ratio consistently improves the condition. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24344788 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22145968 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23574768 If transgender were a cognitive mental illness as you are suggesting, we would not expect to see this positive response to estrogen in trans women.

1	Katie Couric's offensive interview reveals need for transgender visibility Yes I agree and I put a lot of effort into staying cool-headed in these kind of discussions. But sometimes it can be very difficult to stay cool, and sometimes we need to express our impatience and irritation so that people will understand that we are irritated with certain things.	/r/MensRights	15/01/14 04:06 AM
1	Katie Couric's offensive interview reveals need for transgender visibility I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm simply pointing out the inherent irony in asking someone about their "private parts," as Couric put it, on an an extremely public TV show.	/r/MensRights	15/01/14 03:53 AM
2	Katie Couric's offensive interview reveals need for transgender visibility This is something, that while may well have existed for a long time, is relatively shocking and new to still a large number of cultures in america. Is the existence of the internet also new and shocking to such backwards people? The existence of trans people is well known, but the public's understanding is often clouded by myths. One of the common myths is that our genitals are a matter of public discussion. They aren't. They are private, just like everybody else's genitals. What surgeries we mi…	/r/MensRights	14/01/14 06:36 AM
3	Katie Couric's offensive interview reveals need for transgender visibility Transgender is new. No it's not. It's even mentioned in the Bible. It's as old as humanity. Rather than "new", it is no longer taboo. And in the modern period, Christine Jorgensen was making headlines in the 1960s for getting reconstructive surgery on her genitals. This isn't new at all. It's the same, invasive and dehumanizing question that reporters have been asking trans people for the last 50+ years. This is simple. Genitals are a private matter whether a person is cis or trans. It is outrag…	/r/MensRights	14/01/14 01:12 AM
1	Another stunning hard hitting AVFM expose sure to win MRAs friends and not have us labeled as transphobic: Societal Misandry (read feminism and the gynocracy) is often responsible for male to female transsexuals. Gender and sex are independent in that one's gender can be something other than what is traditional for one's sex. However, these concepts are not really 'separate', as they are closely related conceptually and biologically. The biological node which links these concepts is the brain, since the brain is responsible for executive control of one's sex, as well as the medium for one's gender identity. The fact that these concepts are so related further requires us to develop a more complex concept …	/r/MensRights	02/01/14 08:02 AM

You're beginning with your conclusion in mind, tailoring your observations to fit your conclusions, and erasing anyone who doesn't fit your conclusion. In contrast, I have observed that there are human beings who do not fit neatly into the traditional binary scheme, and I have accounted for those facts by adopting a more complex definition of sex which allows for…	/r/MensRights	01/01/14 07:21 AM

We're talking about gender identity though. You're not critically reading if you think that's all I'm writing about. I spent quite some time writing about gender-sex variance as a category of atypical developmental pathways. The physiological causes of gender-sex variance, including transgender, are understood well enough to relate them into a family of related conditions which require us to use more complex definitions of gender and sex, rather than carrying on with obsolete definitions as if t…	/r/MensRights	31/12/13 08:47 AM

The reality is that if the type of incident discussed never happened, there shouldn't have been coverage of it at all. The only support you have for your bullshit is a man-hate blog that is also focused on hating trans women. That blogger constantly lies.

Therefore I'll let you go back through it on your own initiative with the hope that you will permit yourself the intellectual growth you'll need to account for my prior arguments.

That's an easy, absolute, and binary criterion for sex, and due to how we classify our reproduction, consistent. Except that it's not, because some biological females have SRY. Your need for semantical consistency based on current dogma erases the lived experiences of CAIS women and causes actual harm.

Don't start forcing kids to make up their minds about gender or sexual issues. Nobody is even doing that. It's well established developmental psychology that kids already know their gender by age 5. imposing a "trans" identity on a child simply because he isn't a stereotypical boy Nobody is imposing a "trans identity."

Biologically, you are, but that's sex. The brain is part of our biology. And if the sex differentiationed control elements of a person's brain are feminized, then it would follow that the person is biologically female, but with too much testosterone which produced some masculine elements.

You can throw all prevalence studies out the window. They are meaningless. Nobody knows how many trans men or trans women there really are. The fact that it is still taboo means that there are huge numbers of biologically transgender people who would never admit it, even if they knew. And with all the misinformation about transgender, there are surely many people who do not even know they are trans.

For cis women with PCOS or other testosterone producing condition, an anti androgen such as spironolactone can be prescribed. Of course estrogen is commonly prescribed to cis women. For a cis woman with Müllerian agenesis (MRKH), a vaginoplasty surgery is used to create a neovagina from a graft.

My definition of biological woman merely holds identity as the strongest determining factor when there is any confusion.

The issue of gender is more complex than you appear to understand. More like androgynous, with the body developing towards female morphology without sufficient androgens.

Not exactly. We have some free will, but not much. If there are known biological differences those could be examined to determine gender Even karyotypes cost thousands of dollars.

5	Feminists trip on their own feet: Women refuse to share Title IX pool facilities with a transgender woman -- Feminists say "it is very wrong for transgender people to use & abuse Title IX to push their perversion on to Bio women" Transgender hormone replacement therapy consists of spironolactone and estrogen. Spironolactone is the drug which is used to chemically castrate sex offenders. It blocks the production of testosterone. When the dose is sufficient, the person has no libidio and has a difficult time getting an erection. These effects are usually desired by trans women. Based on this, I think the concerns about trans women being perverts are greatly exaggerated. It might be the case that there is a real perv who is…	/r/MensRights	09/10/12 04:29 AM

These are real people who have these conditions. What do you mean, "define gender?" I don't think I'm trying to redefine gender here.
