[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why can't "what gender are you?" and "what do you identify as?" [/b]be two separate questions? Everyone is born with one set of parts or another. I respect everyone's right to their own identities and preferences, but except in extreme cases, the set of parts is an absolute and I believe people should use the facilities that are designed for the set of parts they were born with.

The fact that camp cabins for 11-12 year olds now contain transgender kids is an issue I have encountered for the first time this summer. [/quote]

The questions you're looking for are, "What set of parts were you born with?" and "What gender are you?"

I'm 49 years old, and nobody has ever asked me what set of parts was I born with, or asked to check my parts before allowing me to use a particular public restroom. Nor have I ever asked about anybody else's parts. It seems like an intrusive question that is none of my business -- unless I had intentions for those parts. Or if I were a health care provider, but I'm not.[/quote]
