Ingredients in chocolate actually give an affect on our brain's neurotransmitter. Chocolate contains three main ingredients: trytophan, phenylethylamine, and anandamide. The trytophan causes the brain to produce very high levels of serotonin which make us have a feeling of extreme happiness. The second ingredient, phenylethylamine, is said to make the brain have feelings of bliss and giddiness. In other words it stimulates our brain's pleasure centres. The last one is called anandamide which is the main psychoactive ingredient. This will cause the chocolate to have a huge significant effect on our mental process, almost making it addicting which is why chocolate tastes so good to us.

One cannot point to something tangible and say "this makes me a (wo)man." You simply are or you are not. It seems that a six year old can understand that better than you can. There are no traits tha make a woman a woman whether you are referring to gender or sex.

Someone rated this down??

Cretins. Watch something other than "The Real Housewives"

If you want to jump straight to rigorous bio-chemistry, then a neurologist can show you that the majority of "females" have both outward female sexual traits, and inward, "female" neurobiology. The neurologist can also show you a minority of "males" have outward male sexual traits, and inward "female" neurobiology, and it is most of these people who claim to be famale despite having male sex organs, and want gender reassignment hormones and perhaps surgery. The psychology of the situation is complex. When a child is really, 100% sure, and it turns out that she never changes her mind, then the earlier she has hormone therapy and starts living as her desired gender, in mannerisms and presentation, then the most successful her sexual transition will be. It does not detract from these cases that there is a very very small minority of people who experience gender fluidity throughout their lives, who change back and forth, and generally in the end settle on some kind of androgyny, or "hermaphroditism".

And the fervent paranoid people who think what you're doing is "wrong" and are determined to set you straight? Or someone who's a little too panicky for whatever reason? Because, there are plenty of them too.

I'm all for letting someone choose which gender they associate with and from that which restroom they use if that's the case. Just saying without relatively easy way for others to determine whether or not you belong there, you're running the risk of causing an 'incident' or some kind. Which at the very least could be embarrassing, if not get you in trouble with some relevant authority.

I don't know, is there any kind of legal framework here for when these kinds of things are allowed? I'm admittedly in the dark here. Anyone got a light? It's cold and there are scary noises...

Of course, many of us run that risk no matter which bathroom we use.

How else will she know? If I said that a classmate of mine loves sports (especially football and UFC), beer, women, video games and is a gadget nerd, people would overwhelmingly think that person was a man. They would think so because those are stereotypical male traits whether you want to admit to them or not.

You said that my mom was an example of the female gender, yet that was what my list was based off of. So, apparently you do agree and you're trying to back peddle out of it.

According to what standard?

So your answer is "it just is"


How are you defining woman? What's the significance if there is no value, tangible or not?

Logically speaking, there can be no disputing about tastes.

But sometimes it's fun to notice the new and amazing ways in which Almalieque is wrong.

Arizona, Nebraska, Kansas, whatever. Everything between the Rockies and the Mississippi is all the same wheat field anyway.

This was a point I was going to make. What would be more disruptive to civic peace: an apparent woman, wearing a dress, using a woman's stall to urinate from her ***** in private...or the same person strolling through the men's room because it's the only one she can legally use?

Not that I think it's so important to appease closed-minded gender normists. But if people arguing for genital-based bathroom usage are citing some sort of indescribable impoliteness, civil unrest, or ick factor, I think allowing transgendered bathroom use actually causes less of those things. After all, if you live in an urban area, you've probably shared a public bathroom with a transgendered person and never knew it, just as we've all changed clothes next to dozens of gay people in gym locker rooms without fistfights or societal collapse.

I meet the biological list of traits that define the male sex along with the list of male gender traits. You said that my mom was an example of the female gender, yet that was what my list was based off of. So, apparently you do agree and you're trying to back peddle out of it.


According to what standard?



Is it "I don't know how or when it occurred, it just is" or "I think therefore I am"?



If there is no definition with no significances, then there is no need for the labels.

I label this thread a boring and tedious abomination.
