These people who are encouraging children in perversion are evil. Nobody is born in the wrong body. The notion is absurd.

At bottom, the refusal to acknowledge a fact of nature as certain as the law of gravity: that men and women are different.

There is no “frontier”. There are only tactics being used again.

Reminds me of a book “I’m OK, You’re OK”...

I was instructed to read it by my boss and didn’t like either one, my boss or the book.

People have sex: male or female. Nouns and pronouns have gender: masculine or feminine. So there!

“Margaret, learn something about a topic before you start writing. You’re confusing “sex” and “gender” throughout the article. I realize that people use the terms interchangeably but sex and gender are not the same thing (and neither necessarily corresponds with sexual orientation). Sex is biological (i.e., what “plumbing” someone is born with) whereas gender is a cultural thing. Sexual orientation is an entirely different matter again. “

So their point is that you are born with having homosexuality, but femininity and masculinity and probably heteorsexuality are learned traits.

The person who wrote that daft remark thinks that they are sophisticated - and indeed, those theories are taught at Universities. And yet - if biological sexual identity is such a minor thing, and non-specific to gender - then why all the agitation for transexual surgery and operations?
