In her sworn declaration to the federal court, Adkins called the standard account of sex--an organism's sexual organization--"an extremely outdated view of biological sex."
Dr. Lawrence Mayer responded in his rebuttal declaration: "This statement is stunning. I have searched dozens of references in biology, medicine and genetics--even Wiki!--and can find no alternative scientific definition. In fact, the only references to a more fluid definition of biological sex are in the social policy literature."
Just so. Mayer is a scholar in residence in the Department of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a professor of statistics and biostatistics at Arizona State University. Modern science shows that our sexual organization begins with our DNA and development in the womb, and that sex differences manifest themselves in many bodily systems and organs, all the way down to the molecular level.
In other words, our physical organization for one of two functions in reproduction shapes us organically, from the beginning of life, at every level of our being. Cosmetic surgery and cross-sex hormones can't change us into the opposite sex. They can affect appearances. They can stunt or damage some outward expressions of our reproductive organization. But they can't transform it. They can't turn us from one sex into the other. "Scientifically speaking, transgender men are not biological men and transgender women are not biological women. The claims to the contrary are not supported by a scintilla of scientific evidence," explains Mayer.
as one writer quipped: They don't want to be women: They want to be teenaged prom queens.
Various studies show most men continue to be promiscuous as men.
Some are gay, of course, and there is a lot of confusion between transgender and cross dressing queens.
Women, however, are also complicated: Often they are lesbians or others who just want to have the freedom of a male role model.
the local transvestites and gays are part of society here in the Philippines, no big deal. Family ties are more important to acceptance than morality or a political agenda.
but the problem with the "gender" and "transgender" arguments that I have read it that they are not about people with gender identification disorders, but actually about an agenda that wants men and women to be interchangable, marriage to be anything they want it to be, and with a hatred of normal sexuality.
In other words, the radicals have taken over, with a broad gender agenda.
One suspects the ordinary folks who just want to be accepted for who they are are the real victims and be blamed for the radicals who insult and even persecute those who are old fashioned enough to say "but
