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.
Edited, Mar 21st 2013 10:18pm by Rachel9 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. So, I ask again, what's your beef? What rights?
