But I got the impression that that was one of the differences with GID. Even if you take away the social factors there's still a problem.
I will not say it isn't EVER a problem, but I will argue against the concept that it is always a problem. Homosexuals tend to change genders with no issues at all. Look at "Tomboys", they are no different either.

That's why ethics is so important. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume people are willing to pay when you present them the results that they want.

1. Yes, because it was the proper definition.
2. Because the definition said "choice or judgement". In this case judgement is what we wanted, not choice.
3. Not decide to be gay. Decide that you are gay. Big difference. If i had said people can decide to be gay, that would indeed imply that they can also choose not to be gay.
I suggested the word determine because it is a good alternative that gives more or less the same meaning as decide. I assumed you weren't confused about what a choice is, so i didn't bother explaining.
If your point was that there is a difference between "accepting that you are gay" vs "choosing to be gay", then there are several ways that you could have expressed that better. The definition of "judgement" includes "decision", which includes "choice". Furthermore, the definition of judgement focuses more on objectively making a choice.

Since you're not a fan of dictionaries, I asked you to express the concept and not use more words. You decided to use more words, which led to more confusion.
So, why do you support making people see their true weight sizes as opposed to altering their body, but the exact opposite with GID? Before you mention that we objectively determine weight sizes, we also objectively evaluate your body. That's why when you go to the doctor, you're given a thumbs up or a thumbs down. If a man's body naturally "transformed", the doctors would say that something was WRONG.
