The measurement of a man's manhood by the number of women he sleeps with is widespread. You, my friend are a tool to accept such definition. Furthermore, it is also widespread to define a person's sex by their genitalia. So, I guess you really don't have a problem with that either. So, what again is your problem?
I guess? But i've never encountered anyone who used the word "man" to refer only to people who have slept with at least x women. Certainly it's not uncommon for people to consider a man who has never had sex worthless, or something, but when someone just says the word "man", no one thinks they are only talking about someone who has slept with x number of women before. Maybe it's a regional thing though. So what word do you use for men who have not had sex (with a woman) before? Boy, i guess?

So, it's settled. You have no issue with defining a sex by their genitalia, because it's widespread.

It sounds like you're upset because transgenders are being treated as their biological sex and not some random gender/sex that they want to be. However, you have stated that you support widespread definitions. In this situation, it is widespread to label a transgender as their biological sex and not what they want to be. So, I ask again, what's your beef? What rights?

Okay, so i was right, you don't understand the difference between gender and sex.

Unfortunately i don't know how to explain it to someone who doesn't already understand, so i'm not sure where we can go from here.

If you can't explain something to someone who doesn't already know what the thing is, you are a very bad explainer.

I have a 100% success rate at explaining concepts to people who already understand them completely!

What the **** is wrong with Arizona?

Link

The article wrote:
An Arizona state legislator wants to make it illegal for transgendered people to go to the bathroom. More accurately, the bill proposed by state Representative John Kavanagh would make it illegal to use public restrooms, dressing rooms, or locker rooms designated with the sex different from that on your birth certificate (which is inaccurate for most transgender people), an offense punishable by six months in jail. The bill’s vote was delayed yesterday after the committee meeting was disrupted by transgender activists and protestors, though Kavanagh said the delay was due to a “paperwork error.”

According to the AP, Kavanagh is worried that anti-discrimination protections for transgender people being passed around the country will “serve as a cover for pedophiles who want to expose themselves to children of the opposite gender.” And his proposed law will supposedly protect businesses from the economic threats posed by transgender rights, such as the cost of installing unisex bathrooms and lawsuits from people pretending to be transgender just to sue local restaurants.

“This law simply restores the law of society: Men are men and women are women,” he reportedly said. “For a handful of people to make everyone else uncomfortable just makes no sense.”

Assuming they actually feel uncomfortable. A transgender teen profiled by The New Yorker recently admitted there was “some awkwardness” about which bathroom he’d use after transitioning from female to male in ninth grade, “but when [he] started using the boys' rest rooms nobody said anything, and that was that.” If a bunch of high schoolers can handle it, surely the good patrons of Arizona's public restrooms can too.

Nice attempt, but no cigar. I do know the difference, hence my intentional usage of the words. I used a "/" because what a person wants to be is irrelevant to the point of changing it. According to your logic, as long as it's wide spread, then it's an official definition. So, why does it matter if I'm referring to sex and/or gender. Does your "widespread" rule only apply to one and not the other? If not, then it's irrelevant.

It sounds like you're upset because transgenders are being treated as their biological sex and not some random gender/sex that they want to be. However, you have stated that you support widespread definitions. In this situation, it is widespread to label a transgender as their biological sex and not what they want to be.

Please explain what you mean. Because this makes no sense to me.
