Of course they do. All people with disabilities and medical conditions are considered people worthy of equal respect. That doesn't mean their condition says anything other than that they have a genetic anomaly. If you have an anomaly in your heart it doesn't speak to a larger question about whether there is a 'right' kind of heart. There is a right kind of heart that functions in an ideal way for human thriving and survival. The same is true for gender/sex. It doesn't mean there is ANYTHING wrong with people with heart defects or gender dysphoria. [/quote]

Human beings have two legs! Except for the ones who don't.[/quote]

Humans are bipedal. The occasional human born with some number other than 2 doesn't automatically become a non-human. They are a human with an anomaly. They are part of a bipedal species, even without having 2 legs.[/quote]

This is true: The species Homo sapiens is bipedal.

This is not true: Human beings are bipedal. (Most are, some aren't.)[/quote]

Humans are bipedal. Members of the human species may individually have some alternate number of legs, but humans are bipedal.[/quote]

Thanks for posting that.  Although I think PPP (Pedantic Previous Poster) will find a way to argue with NIH.

Also, Humans are Homo Sapiens so I'm not even sure that her previous post makes sense.

PPP  needs a new hobby.[/quote]
