Chelsea Manning to receive military 'gender treatment'

[QUOTE=Emperorconor;45433090]i don't think "transgender" is a very good term since in itself it doesn't make any sense

there's a lot of bullshit around the use of the term "gender" which has cropped up in the past few decades, most of it relating to psychologists conducting unethical experiments or anthropologists misinterpreting a culture they are studying

even now i suppose, "gender" has starting replacing "sex" as a term for a strange reason[/QUOTE]

They're obviously used for different contexts. Words change their meaning as time progresses, that's how language works.
