I think you'll find that is because most of what people are using isn't reason - it is rationalization. They already have their answers: They are just trying to prove that their answers are correct. Identity is based on what makes us the same and what make us different, and basically, this...

Previously, Miss Kendarik had asserted that she would always consider transsexuals as belonging to their birth sex, and that Gender Dysphoria is just a mental illness which she would be playing along with. In terms of vaginoplasty, there is a great deal of variance depending upon where the...

So, let me get this perfectly clear. You would be willing to date a Male to Female transsexual, and support them, but in your head, you would still consider them a man?! You do realise the very contradictory nature of that statement, right? Firstly, the relationship would never last. You...

Oh, I see, you are now trying to claim that social sciences are not real science, are you? Would that be more of the "Your proof is not valid proof" arguments that are normally levelled by the ignorant when they don't want to accept the zounds of evidence put before them? By the way - I got a...

Unless the Y is rendered dormant. Current research into a genetic cause for trangender tendencies has led researchers to believe that it is not actually associated with the sex chromosomes at all. If it was, you would only have transsexuals of one type. Probably should have mentioned that...

This is irrelevant - logic dictates that as long as this example exists, the argument that transsexuals will never be genetically identical to their chosen gender is flawed. That is all that was needed to be shown, that is all I did. It doesn't matter how rare they are. Masculinity and...

That is unfortunately a very big part of the problem of the world. But you are wrong - it is a normal human reaction to take that stance, but humanity has been undermined in society for quite some time. It seems that people take great delight in being ignorant and bigoted, in undermining...

You might want to check quite a few women then - the XXY genetic mutation actually results in females...

Who do you think is going to win? ;)

See - honesty. How hard is that to say, people? Really. Nobody is going to think less of you for admitting that it might take you some time to get used to something new, or that you might not know how to handle an experience you haven't dealt with before. But they will point out the...

Sometimes it is GOOD to be in the UK... :D

DENIED! I am in this thread. I DO acknowledge transgenders to whatever degree. You argument has therefore been shown to be completely false. Famous quote time: "It only takes one exception to disprove the rule. I am that exception." We are not actually hardwired to anything - sexuality is...

I get flippant, not intolerant - nothing like a healthy dose of self-depreciation and irreverence to keep people sane. People taking themselves too seriously leads to trouble - I like to remind them of that. Your comments about transgender being a qualifier is a apt, but is a massive matter...

Well, Miss Kendarik, this certainly sheds some light on why you would be so intolerant of MtF transsexuals. You wouldn't happen to feel that they would somehow be challenging your natural feminity, by any chance? Some women, particularly the insecure, and/or those pre-disposed towards...

Gender = role in society. You are transgender if you change your name and title. You can be transgender by deed poll, or putting on a dress. It is an umbrella term covering a vast range of groups, of which transsexuals are a minor part. Transgendered people include drag queens, transvestites...
