Re: Transgenderism or whatever.

I have to step in and say you are doing a bad analogy too.

The example of "If a human is born without legs, is it still a human?" Does not work. Because in order for it to be a example of transgender, you would have to use an example of where the human started not without legs but having legs of something else. Like if a human was born with goat legs, is it still a human? Because a transgendered person is not born without a sex. (Except for the rare cases where people are born with both sex genitals.) A transgendered person starts of with the genitals of one sex but feels that they are the wrong genitals for him/her.

So, is a human still a human if it has goat legs?

I don't have clue.

I was doing an analogy to their argument - specifically, the comment about "start[ing] with all the parts that made up a female." I was trying to make a point that we can start out missing parts and still be that thing. A human is still a human even if they start out missing a chromosome, a woman is still a woman if she starts out missing a uterus, and a man is still a man if he starts out missing a penis.

Is an individual still an individual even if they absorbed their twin in utero and were born with four extra limbs? Science says yes.

(Also, it's rather rude to reduce the transgender experience to genitals alone: many trans* folks are fine with their particular bits. There are a great many things that contribute to gender dysphoria, and reducing it to genitals alone seeks to invalidate many people's experiences that don't involve that particular discomfort.)

So everyone is a special and unique snowflake. Got it.
