Penner = transexual

Frank = transvestite

Enabling a sickness/mental disorder does not make it less of a disorder.
If a human being really thinks they are a dog- would there be a doctor willing to mutilate their bodies until they resembled what they THINK they are?Why not?
Why are there institutions filled with people who are as delusional about who/what they are?

Man who thinks he’s a woman, woman who thinks she’s a man, human who thinks they are Abraham Lincoln or Queen Victoria- what’s the difference here?
If you think you’re something you’re not, then the problem is in your BRAIN!
Fix that!
You don’t mutilate your body to match whatever psychosis you have. What’s next, ‘humanoids’ who are a mix of human and whatever other lifeform they THINK they are?
Transexuals are MMI people.
Mentally Ill, Mutilated.

He did it to secure his job amidst the LA Times layoffs.

Rather than overwhelm the readers, maybe this snippet will simplify the topic:

“Reproductive Biology Laboratory, Rouen University Hospital, Rouen, France. rives@chu-rouen.fr

The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of sex chromosome aneuploidy in spermatozoa of two males with a 47,XYY karyotype and one male with a 46,XY/47,XYY constitution. Spermatozoa obtained from two oligospermic patients and one volunteer semen donor were studied by multicolour fluorescence in situ hybridization. In the XY/XYY male, the frequencies of X-bearing to Y-bearing sperm were significantly different from the 1 : 1 expected ratio. Significantly increased frequencies were found in the mosaic and non-mosaic males for 24,XX and 24,YY sperm when compared with control donors. The number of 24,XY sperm was significantly different from the controls in the XYY males, but not in the mosaic male. The incidence of disomy 18 and the rate of diploidy also increased in the three patients. However, the mosaic male had the lowest cumulative rate of disomic and diploid spermatozoa when compared with the two XYY patients. Our data suggest that: (i) chromosome abnormalities observed in spermatozoa of the two XYY oligoasthenoteratospermic (OAT) males arise through segregation errors in XY germ cells rather than normal meiosis of XYY germ cells, (ii) mosaic XYY males with normal semen parameters have a lower risk of producing offspring with a sex chromosomal abnormality than OAT males with XYY karyotype.

Nor drive a stick. But he will be able to ask for directions.

Yup - i.e. the elderly should not be allowed to blow air-conditioning. It only takes away resources from cooling off hot super models....

It’s not about X and Y chromosones. That is missing the point. It is about the preceived mental happiness of people who suffer with gender identity disorder. Even with ‘modern therapies’...i.e., psychiatry... it is not easy to overcome this drive for changing one’s identity. Making fun remarkes about TG people will never make people change. True, thee are rather disgrace antics of transgender comedians and seem to enjoy rubbing the establish institution the wrong way. It is my opinion that the disgraful antic of transgender show-offs is polarizing the conservative community- effectively discrediting themselves. Again, it is my opinion that transgender can be fun and humorous (as used on a show stage..) but it can be dehumanizing as well.
