I’m sure Anthony Kennedy is just itching for his shot at that.

It’s time for the people to redefine the courts.

Great, now Title 9 is a mute point, all sports will be the same sex.

High-school sports will only need one team, because everyone can play if they can make the team. One sex, one team, one shower-room!

If you are thinking about sitting it out in November, just imagine who Hillary’s SC pick will be.

Obviously people can't figure out the difference between a man and a woman so the courts must, right?

I feel like I'm living in a Kafka novel.

God’s definition comes in first:

Genesis 2

18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;
22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

The article talks about biological sex. In biology and human biology, there never has been just two biological sexes, male and female. The concept of there being only two sexes, male and female, is a social convention and is not a biological reality or a scientific reality.

So, how many are there?

ERA via backdoor... this is probably what the bathroom warriors really dread most.

Some people are so open minded that their brains fall on the floor.

This would probably be better snickered at than flared at in a huge outrage.

You must not have been in the same locker rooms I’ve been in. Or owned the same dogs and horses I’ve owned. With rare exceptions due to genetic problems, there are two sexes. One would be amazed at how few male animals will accept getting a penis stuck up their rumps, or how many female animals substitute being licked by another female.

“So, how many are there?”

Beginning with the broader classes you can start with:

1. chromosomal or genetic sex;

2. Endocrinological or phenotypic sex

3. Gonadal sex

4. Hormonal sex

5. Morphological sex

6. Nuclear sex

Each of the above major classes include multiple sub-classes, some of which have a presently unknown number of genetic variations.

Women are supporting this because of social pressure but they will come to regret it. The logical outcomes of this all result in a diminished status of females in our society.

You see it already. Bruce Jenner is woman of the year, Obama celebrates mothers of any gender, etc. It will get worse.

What happens, for example, in a divorce situation when a man declares he feels he is a woman? Does he get the same consideration as a biological woman does? If not, is it discrimination? But then why isn't it discrimination if he doesn't declare he's a woman and his wife gets that consideration? Maybe things like alimony and custody will just get decided based not on gender but on some mathematical formula to avoid such considerations. That will inevitably result in less for the actual female.

What about an athlete who claims Title IX coverage because he identifies as a woman even though he's bigger, stronger, and presents as a man? How can they deny him? who needs all the protests that would pop up? And so one less actual woman gets a scholarship. And the women athletes who do get through find themselves competing against men and losing. A lot.

You see, women get certain written and unwritten privileges in such cases and they will get tested and eroded. Will that be good for women? I say they will regret it when it happens. Time will tell.

Liberal ‘judges’ are filth...

Who gives a damn what they come up with?

We need to have lawyers and legislators right behind these liberal pedophile types and undo their crap as soon as the in is dry.

How does that work for jails and prisons as well. They have separate prisons for a reason. Are they now going to allow cross dressing men into women’s prisons? How many men will claim they are really women just to stay out of the more dangerous male prisons. The unintended consequences from going down that dangerous and stupid road boggle the mind. The world is insane and needs shock therapy.

The basic purpose of life is to procreate before death.
It requires 2 sexes for humans to procreate. Any human who does not benefit procreation of the species is unneeded.
Nature would take care of these abominations and cull them, but liberals promote them.

If you want to argue a social convention asserting there are but two typical sexes among humans, then by all means do so with an honest acknowledgement of the biological reality in which “biological sex” encompasses far more than just two types of sex. Just don’t lie to yourself and to other people falsely claiming there are only two biological sexes. There are not just two biological sexes and there never have been.

It appears from your comment that you failed to learn elementary sex facts from your ownership of those dogs and horses. In our own experience with producing cattle, hogs, horses, mules, dogs, cats, chickens, turkey, Guinea, Peacock, fancy pigeons, corn, sorghum, wheat, rye, barley, soybeans, cotton, tobacco, peaches, pears, cherries, blackberries, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, spinach, pole beans, lettuce, radish, cucumber, zuchinni, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, Crenshaw melon, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, avocado, plums, thyme, oregano, marjoram, mint, onions, chives, garlic, dozens of hybrid and species flowers, and our own cross-breed Bearded Iris and Beardless Iris, we have observed a variety of variations in the sexes and sexual behavior of those organisms. If a person had to judge from your comments, it appears you are willfully remaining ignorant in defiance of reality. You are simply acting out in boorish ignorance and stupidity.

It’s the boys in the highschool girls locker rooms that are
causing the issue to be pushed. It’s the kids...hence the laws and thus the governmental over-reach!
