Why would defy death?

I'd rather have mankind work on "how to defy death" rather than "how to cut up your genitals".
although thats just my personal opinion so you don't have to agree with defying death though.

I like that they're working on both extending life expectancy and making people happier with the lives they already have. It would probably suck to live forever being unhappy with who you are and unable to change yourself.

For the moment.

As it stands, we cant take the woman parts and shove them in a man, or vice versa.

The man who got pregnant did so before the sex change. Since she still had the inner workings of a woman, it did its thing.

Men don't have any of the required tools to make babies inside them. Only woman parts can actually make the baby. You're not going to piss children anytime soon.

Again:

What she did was take hormones and whatnot to receive Masculine aesthetics.
This also includes the use of Steroids and Testosterone.
That is why she even looks like a dude.
She's still a woman in the end.

I'd like to ask a philisophical question here regarding the ship of Theseus. Plutarch posed the question wether in the process of restoration, if every single piece of Theseus' ship were to be replaced, would it still be the same ship afterward?

So I'll ask, if a person born biologically female were to have every single part of their body replaced with a male one, would you still consider that person female?

Knowledge =/= intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to properly apply knowledge.

Right, right.
And do you think those children are properly applying knowledge to them and their gender?
Or do you believe that they know more "just because they're them" then a doctor could?

Not at all. Children don't know how to properly apply that information. That's why they so often get confused or try to act like they think or know their parents want them to act. The big problem is that most parents also lack the ability to make such a decision with rather than for their child. They're ability is often compromised by personal bias, religious views, and/or denial. Though that is more an issue of their competence rather than intelligence. Doctors, both medical and psychiatric, should definitely be involved along with the child in making such a decision.

Fucking retarded.

Some transgenders actually change their gender AND go get a baby.

Like this female who became male and got pregnant.

Real messed up.

That's because She didn't fully transition.
Only Women can get pregnant you nog.

For the moment.

To end this god damn thread.
LGBT shouldn't exist.
Period.

It will always exist

As long as the idea lives

You could remove the idea from all human conciousness and it wouldn't change much. There would just be a delay before the concept of a person not fitting into their biological gender role. The idea of changing the physical body to better match the mind would quickly reemerge.

Ursprungligen skrivet av robomagon:

one's self has more knowledge about it's own identity than any other person.

pick fucking one robomagon
either you are saying it has to do with intelligence or it doesn't

Ursprungligen skrivet av robomagon:

I never mentioned intelligence at all. I simply stated the fact that one's self has more knowledge about it's own identity than any other person.

And no, you could have a man like Bruce Jenner come out and say he's a woman.
It's blatantly obvious to everyone at that point.
Playing pretend doesn't work.

Knowledge =/= intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to properly apply knowledge.

About their own identity? Uh, yes. Last I checked, being a parent doesn't make you psychic.

Wrong.
You also think that Kids are smarter than Doctors, too?

"Harmonically imbalanced"? Is that some new age spiritual crap or do they need their thetans realigned?

They have imbalanced hormones, which is what I meant to say.
And you can't deny the fact the fact it's true, considering Estrogen Pollution and whatnot.

If their hormones are really imbalanced then that seems like a perfectly good reason to start taking hormones...
