[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is trendy to be bisexual or admitting having mental illness among teenagers. [/quote]
Yes, this is definitely a trend with the girls in upper elementary school in McLean. 
Everyone is refer as "they" instead of she. Most parent are probably not aware of it.[/quote]

LOL
Is it that non binary thing? That's BS because there's only 2 sexes, can't ever change that biological factoid. [/quote]

Actually, if you were even minimally informed of current scientific thinking...masculinity and femininity are understood to be more of a spectrum. [/quote]

and yet there are still only two sexes fyi.[/quote]

Doctor here: incorrect.  You can be XX or XY or XXY

But, I'm sure you know (even though you seem very uneducated) that gender and biological sex are not the same thing.

If not, I figure you are also unvaccinated and drink bleach when you get sick[/quote]

lol You're no doctor to be sure. Here this might help you-

Biological sex is defined in relation to the role played in sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves only two, namely, male and female. Therefore, biological sex is only two, namely, male or female.  
Defects occur in nature, but defects imply a norm from which they deflect. A castrated man is still a male; a female with a mastectomy is still a female. The fact that one is born with ambiguous genitalia does not do away with one’s true sex. That it is hard to identify someone as male or female does not mean one is neither. Identical twins are hard to distinguish, but they are still distinct persons. [/quote]

Exactly. What medical school did you go to "doctor"?  People with XXY chromosomes (Klinefelter's syndrome) are male. They produce small gametes, i.e., sperm.

Of course, you can make the argument that gender is whatever is in one's mind, but it quickly descends into absurdity because whatever is in one's mind is subject to change, particularly in teenagers. Recently, I became aware of the term "demigirl." If someone wants to label herself a demigirl I have no problem with it. But if there can be a demigirl, then why not a 1/4 girl or 5/16 girl, or a 31/64 or 65/128 boy? Am I now required to believe for political correctness purposes that there is such a thing as a 497/1000 boy, if someone bills himself as such?

And if the concept applies to gender, why not other traits? I would refer you to the YouTube videos of Oli London, who is an Englishman who has decided he is transracial, that is Korean. If he wants to believe he is Korean, good luck to him. But no matter how many plastic surgeries he gets, I will never believe he is anything other than an Englishman.[/quote]
