So...is someone who has had their penis removed for any reason no longer male?
Is it just the penis? Or penis and testicles? What if they were born with both a vulva and a penis?

Interesting.
That the entire basis for your gender is a word you can't type without self censoring. Okay, that covers the phenotype, but what about the genotype. What if a person is genetically born XY, but phenotypically presents with a vulva. Or if another person is genetically XX, but phenotypically presents with a penis. Or again, is phenotypically both by having a penis and a vulva.

I've read a little bit about the condition where people are rarely born with both organs but it also said that one is typically dominant over the other. For e.g. A person with both organs who can get someone else pregnant but can't get pregnant themselves. In that case, they'd be considered male.

So...someone born sterile, but with a penis, isn't a male because they can't produce offspring? With that in mind, is maleness not determined until such time as puberty has been completed? I mean, otherwise, how would we know if they're destined to shoot nothing but blanks? And if they do shoot nothing but blanks, does that make them something else? Or is female just anything that doesn't have functioning intact male genitalia?

Even if someone is sterile, their body is still designed with a blueprint for working a certain way which allows anyone to identify whether they're male or female. |

And if we're going to go the route of saying the human body has a specific design of function, then isn't the intersex person exactly as they should be? Neither 100% male nor 100% female. Also, you mention the blueprint, but continually evade my question of geneotype over phenotype. What are our genes if not the blue print of our "design".

in cases of genotype vs phenotype, the person's phenotype is more important in determining whether they are male or female. As I said before, the criteria is being born with a certain organ, and a even a person with XX male syndrome for e.g. Is still born a male and not a female. That's why he is called an "XX male". |

Men have a penis, women have a vulva, and intersex people...require a flag on the play. So...you're perfectly fine with a genetic female being considered a male, because they have a penis. And perfectly fine with a genetic male being considered a female, because they have a vulva.

I consider the former to be a male, and the latter to be a female, not the other way around. |

So an individual says that they're trapped in the wrong body, and they need to physically change themselves (through extensive surgery and/or hormones) because they identify differently than the body they currently have.
Why is this considered socially acceptable when it comes to transgenderism, but individuals are considered mentally ill if they are anorexic or have "body dysmorphic disorder" (i.e. Michael Jackson)? Is this not selective bigotry then? Last edited by Refractive Reflections; 07-30-2017 at 11:56 PM. |

As for that HuffPost article, yeah... it's hard to take that site seriously, when they initially didn't have qualms about posting things like this: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/201...se_a_22036640/ http://archive.is/tveBZ http://archive.is/QHqY4 |
