Yes, they have a mental problem. Their brains received an inappropriate level of perinatal testosterone.

Essentially, just as men are born a HUGE influx of testosterone is released that masculanizes their brains. Imagine if this boost didn't happen? You said it yourself, we exist on a binary, if they weren't masculanized, by default they would be feminized. These are trans folks who transition from male to female. Now what if the surge happened, but only half as much testosterone as was necessary to masculanize the brain was present. Well, the brain would theoretically partially masculanize. This would result in a more feminine male.

The reverse is true for females. Does this make sense?

but they literally embody the asynchrony of sex and gender. Because of their exposure/lack of exposure to the appropriate levels of perinatal testosterone their brains did not masculanize/feminize properly.

Now perinatal testosterone is not an on/off switch. The reason why gender is considered a spectrum is because that perinatal surge can to varying degrees masculanize or feminize your brain, making you more likely to feel comfortable taking on the natural roles of one sex over the other. You don't HAVE to be trans to be a very effeminate man, you don't have to be trans to be a very butch woman. Does that make sense?

Your 'self identity' is just that

signifier maybe, if you want to be flowery

title, perhaps
alter-ego

You're literally arguing semantics for a definition of sex that isn't being questioned here.

Sex (noun) - your biological sex.
Gender (noun) - the sex you identify as independent of your biological sex.

Now from what I have been trying to understand, you seem to be saying my second definition is incorrect. Can you please answer me straight rather than dancing around irrelevant semantic arguments relating to the words rather than the things the words describe?

Yes, they have a mental problem. Their brains received an inappropriate level of perinatal testosterone.

Essentially, just as men are born a HUGE influx of testosterone is released that masculanizes their brains. Imagine if this boost didn't happen? You said it yourself, we exist on a binary, if they weren't masculanized, by default they would be feminized. These are trans folks who transition from male to female. Now what if the surge happened, but only half as much testosterone as was necessary to masculanize the brain was present. Well, the brain would theoretically partially masculanize. This would result in a more feminine male.

The reverse is true for females. Does this make sense?

You're literally arguing semantics for a definition of sex that isn't being questioned here.

Sex (noun) - your biological sex.
Gender (noun) - the sex you identify as independent of your biological sex.

Now from what I have been trying to understand, you seem to be saying my second definition is incorrect. Can you please answer me straight rather than dancing around irrelevant semantic arguments relating to the words rather than the things the words describe?

but they literally embody the asynchrony of sex and gender. Because of their exposure/lack of exposure to the appropriate levels of perinatal testosterone their brains did not masculanize/feminize properly.

Now perinatal testosterone is not an on/off switch. The reason why gender is considered a spectrum is because that perinatal surge can to varying degrees masculanize or feminize your brain, making you more likely to feel comfortable taking on the natural roles of one sex over the other. You don't HAVE to be trans to be a very effeminate man, you don't have to be trans to be a very butch woman. Does that make sense?

The SEX has not changed. The GENDER has changed. Even if you don't agree, it doesn't matter because that's just how it is. You arguing your denial is just trying to force your narrow, outmoded view point on others who are finally waking up just because you fear comprehension.

As a homosexual you should honestly understand what these people are going through. The denial, the hatred, the offense, the fear of rejection. Instead you're just adding to it.

I want incontrovertible evidence, with personal annotations of first and second hand experiences on the subject that conclusively proves that all the specialists, the untold thousands of people suffering now and perhaps even millions since the dawn of civilization who have suffered or simply couldn't live with that suffering any longer - are in all ways wrong, and that only your view is correct.

Hit the reply limit.

If your boss made you get a sick note anyway after the company stopped requiring it and they were billed, then that would be on his neck not yours. But I'm not interested in individual situations, I'm interested in the whole. Say there are a few hundred people working for the company in question. Prior to the company dropping the sick not policy, 100% of them would go to the doctor to get a note when they stay home from work - a requirement. But if it were no longer required, while some or even many of them still would go to the doctor, it's highly unlikely that all of them would keep going. It's common knowledge that there is no cure for the common cold, and many people don't go to the doctor for it for that reason. Is it possible that each and every employee would be in some weird personal position where they still decide to go to the doctor's office once it isn't required? Sure, in all the many universes there are some where that happens. But is it likely? Hell the **** no.

And yes, it is wasted time if they just have a cold, because there is literally nothing the doctor can do for them. It's the doctor's job to treat them but that doesn't mean jack when there isn't a treatment. In this case the doctor loses time, the patient gains nothing, and other patients are potentially exposed to a virus.
User avatar #447 to #446 - captainprincess (01/01/2016) [-]
Diagnoses isnt a treatment
yet it's crucially important to make for a treatment

how do you get a diagnoses
with an examination

examinations are a doctor doing their job, not wasting time
#448 to #447 - mayoroftownsville (01/01/2016) [-]
Anyone can diagnose a common cold. Have you ever had blood drawn to test for rhinovirus? No, because the symptoms are obvious, known to everyone, and by the time the test was over it would be gone.
#449 to #448 - captainprincess (01/01/2016) [-]
And anyone could mis-diagnose a serious illness as a cold
#450 to #449 - mayoroftownsville (01/01/2016) [-]
So would the doctor unless you're missing something really obvious. If you go to the doctor with cold symptoms, they will send you home and tell you to come back if it gets worse or new symptoms appear. As long as you aren't retarded enough to miss something obvious like a rash or black phlegm, you have the same exact ability to diagnose or misdiagnose a cold as a doctor.

better chance of him knowing than me
He's got medical training

Not by much. A doctor can't magically differentiate one set of cold-like symptoms from another, and if you're a human living on the planet earth, you probably have close to as much experience with colds as them. But feel free to go in and demand a blood test next time you have the sniffles, no skin off my back. All I'm saying is that plenty of people won't do that if they aren't required to, and likely for the greater good.
User avatar #453 to #452 - captainprincess (01/01/2016) [-]
They might do

"Got busted in the act"



Have you got a story to tell me?
User avatar #422 to #421 - captainprincess (10/11/2015) [-]
I kissed a boy
Someone saw

nothing special really
#423 to #422 - Zaxplab (10/11/2015) [-]
awww, I was hoping for something a little more spicy.



First time I got caught it was by my grandma but she had severe dementia so no one believed her.
User avatar #424 to #423 - captainprincess (10/11/2015) [-]
well I mean
How spicy are a pair of 15 yearolds liable to get, really

I mean it was on school grounds so that was kind of tense

But the dude didn't even come to school after we got caught
I'm thinking he told his folks and got immediately shuffled away witness protection style

"Smite, Warframe, TF2"
You have a thing for free games.
User avatar #395 to #394 - captainprincess (09/23/2015) [-]
Actually

I've spent a good deal of money in warframe, more than enough to supercede a retail price
I bought the ultimate godpack in smite, which is effectively buying the game instead of playing the free grind route
and I got tf2 from the orange box

So no, not really
I have a slight distrust for free to plays actually
They tend to screw you over in subtle ways
#396 to #395 - yiffcario (09/23/2015) [-]
I refuse to spend money on free games. Which annoys me in TF2 because I have crates I want to give to people who actually want them but can't since I need to spend some amount of money to access that feature.
User avatar #397 to #396 - captainprincess (09/23/2015) [-]
I tell ymself I'm the same
but ultimately, if I'm willing to buy a game, I'm willing to pay into a free game to bypass atleast some of the skinnerbox grinding

The basic equation is that I'm willing to throw money out and take entertainment back in, and I have to actually admit it to myself
