Conversion therapy is on the same level as mood rings and Ouiga boards.

No....Much worse... Mood rings and planchettes are at least entertaining.

This issue should be dealt with at the level of licensure.

"Therapists" who employ conversion therapy are quacks.

You brought it up. So I'm curious. Can YOU define what a "woman" is?

While you are at it ... is a woman who cannot produce eggs (a condition that affects 30% of women with fertility challenges.) still a "woman"?

"An adult female" would be fine with me.

A female does not stop being a female because she is sterile. Just as a male who has an unfortunate hunting accident and blew off his nether regions does not stop being a male. (If some people think male and female sexes don't exist, that's a different issue.)

As for other non-normative situations (intersex, kleinfelter, etc) they are varying stages of something else.

Personally, I find it humorous that we have no idea what words mean anymore because of the risk of offense.

Nowadays, when I hear about a woman in the news committing some heinous crime, I put "woman" in quotes in my head because it likely does not mean what most people expect it to mean.

Of course it would be fine with you.

Your beliefs are no different than the Nazis on this topic, denying the notion of gender and replacing it with sex, as chosen by the State, and forced upon the individual.

The transgender issue really separates the men from the boys, when it comes to truly believing in individual liberty and the right to self-determination.

The two go hand in glove.

Denying transgender existence is a first step to transgender ethnic cleansing.

So they're neither man nor woman.

What the hell are they then?

Give us examples from history of this third type of person actually existing and being recognized as the aforementioned third sex, one that is neither man nor woman.

I bet you can't, because I bet you just made all that BS up on the spot.

"Give us examples from history of this third type of person actually existing and being recognized as the aforementioned third sex, one that is neither man nor woman."

Because they could not father children, eunuchs were trusted in positions of power and intimacy within royal families across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

While historically viewed as men holding a specific office( like Keeper of the Bed), in some contexts, such as the Hijra in India, eunuchs are seen as a third gender or a separate identity.

Today, some individuals voluntarily identify as eunuchs, sometimes as a form of non-binary gender identity or for reasons related to body dysphoria.

The vast majority of eunuchs in history had that condition forced upon them by force.

How can you separate the men from the boys?... you can can't tell what one is

If men don't exist, and women don't exist... then trans can't exist since their is nothing to change from one to the other?

You're on that wavelength where we should simply ban marriage altogether.

Because the only other alternative is allowing the gays and the interracials to get married.

And that's a horror beyond all comprehension that must be stopped at any cost.

Interesting how words don't mean what they used to mean.

When I got "woke" this morning I never thought there would come a day when maybe I shouldn't tell anyone.

#21 | Posted by donnerboy at 2026-03-31 07:36 PM | Reply

The correct use of "woke" is a past tense verb. People who use it an adjective, especially to describe themselves, sound like they're either high or on a massive holier-than-thou ego trip.

Yes, words change in meaning. Sometimes by gradual evolution and adoption. Other times by public shaming and lecturing by the holier-than-thous.

So, apparently to many people a "woman" is no longer just an "adult female." Now we have to say "adult female" to capture that same meaning (although I was criticized on this very site for using the word "female" by someone who apparently spends most of their life with a large stick embedded in their posterior looking for stuff to complain at people about).

"Adult female" just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it. Totally appropriate to need multiple words to describe about fifty percent of the population.

So someone who is versed in words, like future Justice Ketanji Jackson, who has advanced beyond the pedestrian definition of "woman" should be able to articulate what that word now means. Considering it applies to about half the people walking the Earth.

In the meantime, perhaps the rest of us can get a two syllable word to express what "woman" used to mean. I suggest calling them "beaches."

If gender is a spectrum, then where exactly are "men" and "women" on the "spectrum"?

Please be specfic.

Ridiculous. They could possibly have children before they were castrated.

OneTrumper,

You claim to be Chinese.

A country where an entire generation of women were downed, by choice of their parents.

You're a waste of time and energy.

You brought it up. So I'm curious. Can YOU define what a "woman" is?

A adult female human, possessing two X chromosomes (XX) and is organized around the production of large, immobile gametes (eggs) for reproduction.

There is a spectrum in individuals in the biological sense, but these are known as disorders/diseases/abnormalities as they don't manifest in reproduction, if the individual is capable of it.

For instance approximately 7% of all men are infertile. By the time a woman is 30, she has lost nearly 90% of her eggs; by age 40, only around 3% of eggs are left.
Are they still not human males, and female, of course they are.
Are there outliers, certainly but this exception is what makes the rule, the exception isn't a desirable trait even if able to reproduce.

An excellent book/pdf I recommend is SpermWars. spcuniversity.com

If you read it you'll see, reproduction is a very complicated system, many parts can go wrong/fail, in the individuals, competition, and in their performance in attempting to move their genes forward in to the next generation. The idea that we need to categorize each and every possible 'failure" and create a separate class of victimhood for them is preposterous, and impossible.

But that is what you would have done.
Now you can go on and on with your psuedo science and claim all the shit you want about gender, who cares its not a scientific endeavor, it only has meaning in the political sphere.
