I personally find this whole gender-equality and "I can choose my gender" thing completely ludicrous.

Something like this gets posted once a week. It's not news.

[QUOTE=Judas;42569683]there's a video in the link[/QUOTE] Yes, and this thread is going to be turned into a shitstorm about transgender people, and end up getting locked between pages 10 and 20.

[QUOTE=Judas;42569700]h-how is gender equality ludicrous[/QUOTE] I may have phrased that wrong. I really just hate all the hype going on. I'm all for gender equality.

[QUOTE=Samg381;42569677]I personally find this whole gender-equality and "I can choose my gender" thing completely ludicrous.[/QUOTE] you don't choose your own gender. just like you don't choose your sexual orientation, it's something you 'discover'.

I'm not a male human, I'm actually a mandarin orange. No one understands my plight. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Why reply?" - Megafan))[/highlight]

Acknowledging Transgenders as people who need help with a genuine issue is a good thing, crazy people going around saying we should stop the persecution of giving babies a gender out of their genitalias are ridiculous. That's pretty much the extent of the current situation.

Who was the reporter that thought "wow, this is a great news story, people need to hear about this" and published it.

[QUOTE=Samg381;42569677]I personally find this whole gender-equality and "I can choose my gender" thing completely ludicrous.[/QUOTE] I respectfully disagree

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;42569774]Who was the reporter that thought "wow, this is a great news story, people need to hear about this" and published it.[/QUOTE] Transgenderism is only just now becoming widely known to the general public. A lot of people still don't understand it. The piece was decent.

Oh not this again. [editline]18th October 2013[/editline] FP don't start with "kids can't decide" this is a good thing. [editline]18th October 2013[/editline] i'd never heard of this clinic before and i'm pleasantly surprised they're opening up a youth transgender area.
