Already pointed out that I've encountered people who intend this. There are some trans gender individuals who do use the word 'men' to indicate they h...

Which logical fallacy? No, brain scans on transgender people prior to any medical intervention have brains that are no different than non-transgender ...

He clearly has followed the argument. You don't want to let this one go Banno. May I suggest you might be a little ideologically captured here? You ke...

Thank you for the defense Amadeus. Even if you had disagreed with my end views, I believe you've captured the points well.

I have not addressed identity. A personal identity is simply an opinion of yourself. I have opinions of myself, but that doesn't mean people have to a...

Sorry Banno. Once you abandon answering the counter point, the counter point stands. And if you're not going to acknowledge that counter point after I...

And again you ignore the part about 'privilege' including rights. My point stands.

I actually laughed at this one Banno. Yes, I am practicing in the fallacious art of "Posting the definition of terms so we both understand and can ref...

Hard disagree. This is simply countered by me saying, "Objectively the color blue is the best in the world." Reply: Don't you mean subjectively? "No, ...

Privilege meaning: a right, exemption, or immunity granted as a particular benefit, advantage, or favor OR a right or benefit given to some people but...

I'm not the one who keeps coming back every couple of days misrepresenting my point because they're more concerned with their outcome being seen than ...

Basically what I said. Ok, I JUST told you I said the term was polysemous, while the phrase was ambiguous. You keep implying I've done otherwise becau...

Banno, are you bored? I don't know how you can keep posting this and think this is a good argument. Polysemous means, "A term which has multiple meani...

Again Banno, your entire dismissal of my points, either by pretending they didn't exist or ignoring them so you can spout an ideology is not what I'm ...

Yes, it can have more than one meaning based on context which we've established already. You are ignoring the entire discussion we had earlier and not...

Sure, pretty common with this topic. Why the link to a video about not having children though?

Not a bad metric. I argue that gender is social stereotypes about he sexes. I do not believe that social stereotypes are should be essential to anyone...

No, that's an observed reality of polite interaction. Most people do not request to be treated in a special manner, either verbally or non-verbally, t...

While I believe this is an interesting topic you could make a thread on, I'm not seeing how this applies to the topic of this thread Outlander.

Not a worry! I will try to understand better. Ah. Interestingly enough, it may not be a hypothetical. The brain science is still out on a final conclu...

Of course. I did all of that. To be clear, I completed my masters. I am well aware of what it takes to get one. :) No, I did not expect my master to b...

I'm glad you stuck around a little while longer and gave it a chance. I don't remember the exact date, but I believe in the next quarter or so this si...

I remember those days. Good points. I hope you enjoy your visit back at a more leisurely pace. :)

The reality is that some people are intolerant. That's independent of whether you're left or right. What is 'intolerant'? A person who is narrow minde...

Banno both Amadeus and I noted that transition was a treatment for gender dysphoria. To my understanding it is not a cure. It is a treatment that less...

Not a worry at all. If you mean trans gender people, I agree. But if his intention was transitioned people, he's correct. The number of medically tran...

I believe he's talking about transitioned individuals. The only way to be medically transitioned is to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria. There are p...

Good post. Its not the gap between body and social expectation, but physical expectations of basic human capabilities. Social expectations bring arbit...

I want to be clear that the desire to be the other sex is not a disorder. Being trans gender is not a disorder. It is when that desire starts disrupti...

He gave you meaning. You claimed it was conflationary. Why? How could on meaning of the term have any primacy over another meaning Banno? :) I was quo...

What happened to your claim that words don't have essential meaning Banno? Transgender can mean: Trans gender, like defined in the OP A person who has...

No, I think you and I are done talking about this situation. You have not been discussing that topic in a good faith or honest manner from my viewpoin...

This is an overreaction Banno. There is a fine line between mental illness and mental health issue. Technically gender dysphoria, which is what is wha...

Because they are mistaking that people categorize by gender over sex. Its the reverse. Most people categorize by sex, then have an expectation of how ...

The broader debate is over at this point, and I have kept out anything emotional or personal as I find these things inhibit free thought. To explain, ...

Thank you. That was the conclusion of this discussion. Correct. I've said as much several times through this discussion. Correct. And this is one of a...

See in the OP More details and arguments were added to explain why the default would be most rationally read "man/woman" unmodified as referencing sex...

A. I never 'slipped' back into anything. That was the statement from the OP on. I just gave more reasons why it was rational for people to assume that...

Michael if your best counter argument is calling people idiots and you still won't answer, "The question", there's really nothing you're contributing ...

Hello again Michael. The above is a statement, but I'm not seeing any reason that backs this statement. Please refer to the reason's I gave you earlie...

Yes, great addition. I think an evaluation of gender is probably a good topic for another thread. But to comment, yes gender is a social prejudice on ...

I don't think so. I am of course separating trans gender from trans sexual when this is often blended together in general culture. I find the terms di...

Yes. Gender is subjective to the person and the culture. If a group of individuals believe "Woman shouldn't work and be in the kitchen," that's gender...

I recall I clearly pointed out how you are NOT being friendly or honest in your critique. I have yet to see you even attempt to tackle that, look inwa...

Nice to see we can agree on something. Have a good day Jamal, its not personal on my part.

I think its about leveled off too. Part of the reason I made the post is to get a good conversation started. The topic was forbidden and taboo for a l...

I was never motivated by prejudice, and I resent the assumption without clear reason. The accusation that I was motivated by prejudice is begging the ...

No, I think that's just logic. If spaces are divided by sex, then only sex should be considered for those spaces. Language games are attempts to use l...

The reason is what we can consider in law. I do not think there is a single viable reason to allow a trans gender person in cross sex spaces. There ar...

Of course. But once they are a trans gender person who is also now a trans sexual. I just want to be clear the conversation has at no point involved t...
