Re: Transgender Navy SEAL 'Warrior Princess' Comes Out[W:181]
You know I luvs ya', Katie, but this is very difficult to read.
It sure does. You are making a statement that gender is defined by the physical presence. Gender is defined by the mind or the mental makeup. A small child say a male who is prepubescent who is more inclined to do the things society has ascribed to the female role has no sexual interest in changing identity but is none the less female in the mind. So how do you determine gender mental or physical? There are two choices. Do you try and push what the brain is saying aside because this person has the wrong genitals. You are basing your thought on the rules society has placed on all of us. Those rules and roles are wrong IMO. There are hundreds of books on the topic of gender being mental. You can start by reading Gender Outlaw. You could also do some reading on Third Gender which tells us about people who feel neither female or male. It would be my suggestion do do some study before making a brash set in stone statement.
