Sorry. It doesn't. If you want to re-define truth..then fine but you won't be able to sustain that twisting of it.
[quote]Most people have external sexual characteristics that quantify them as either male or female...but not all. There are hemaphrodites. Your god either created them or allowed it to happen.[quote]
True. There are males, females and some are born with deviations however that didn't address my point. My point was that you don't get to choose your sex...that's not reality.

More important, and what you completely ignore, sexual identity falls across a spectrum.
There is no such thing as "sexual identity" That's a made up concept.
There are men, and there are women. That's truth.
Quote:
“Men” and “women” often act, and prefer to appear, in ways that don’t coincide with the ways their sexual apparatus appears.
Sure...do men act in a myriad of ways?
Sure...do women act in a myriad of ways?
Certainly..but that doesn't change their biology into something other than "man or woman" You have drank the Kool-aid.
Quote:
On one end of the scale a human with a penis may participate only in what society has traditionally labeled “manly” activities, while another may engage only in what are labeled “feminine” interests. Or perhaps the same person might do both.
You confuse actions with biology; don't keep drinking the Kool-aid.

The point is that I do not care how someone chooses to describe his or her identity. I know who and what I am and would only resent someone attempting to put a label on me.
Like I said...some folks don't care about what's truth or not..just what they feel. You apparently fall into the latter category.
Quote:
People are complicated. Few of us are purely “libs” or (or whatever) Conservatives hate to be called. None of us are purely the result of our hormones or gonads.
People are complicated for sure but again...they are either men...or women.
Quote:
Perhaps, in the after-life In which I assume you believe, their will be no controversy over what people were. In life I prefer to generously and respectfully allow humans to describe themselves any way they wish. If a person is confused, it does not help to impose inaccurate stereotypes.
Truth matters...but as you said...you don't care what's true so I guess you won't be responding...right?
