Transgender policy to be tested (school labels 5yr-old "gender confused" -will be raised as a girl)

If your assertion were true there would be millions of bi-sexuals. I don't believe there are.

I don't follow, but thats fine cuz I don't follow most of your "its so obvious" arguments... especially considering that it is so obvious that no single experiment has been replacated to prove your "obvious" argument.

I also have friends who were labeled "sissys" and "momma's boys" growing up. All are heterosexual.

Me too. One boy at our school used to hang out with girls all the time, joined all the Catholic rosary groups (that was technically allowed for boys - except none but he ever did), and also took sewing and needlework as his "electives."

I do not know how he dared. You cannot imagine the pressure to conform in an Australian rural primary school.

However, he had character. When he was doing sewing or knitting, it didn't look feminine at all, as he glared at the needles with fierce determination. He just shut out a lot of things - wouldn't reply to people unless he felt like it.

I suppose now he would be sent for some futile counselling and observations sessions - where, incidently, they wouldn't let him withdraw into himself and would badger him to death about gender issues. At school, our teachers just let him go his own way.

The last I heard, he was doing very well, and had a high position in a British museum. He became an expert on textiles.

Are you gay? Maybe you should get "checked" because you may have a couple wires crossed

sounds like you are trying to make yourself feel better because it is NOT YOUR FAULT your gay

[DCPatriot]

Yeah...and maybe you should go back to school and learn how the proper usage of contractions.

GET OFF THE COMPUTER YA BIG DOPE!!!

[Middle of the Road]

Yep that should just about confirm the answer to that question LOL

God absolutely knows best BUT if God has revealed that homosexuality is a SIN and has destroyed entire civizations (aka Sodom and Gomorrah)because of it then why would He make it genetic?

We live in a world where NO ONE likes to take accountability anymore we just blame it on the other guy/ parents/ environment/ and now GENETICS

I don't know what to call you folks....your little club that finds homosexuals classified as premeditated perverts...that it's a state of mind they could easily forego.

Call me a rational thinker opposed to delusional thinking...

I suggest you clearly delineate the difference between a state of being with an act of doing.

Homosexual activity is always a choice. Further, it is only homosexual activity that can and is legitimately be discriminated against -activity, not people.

It is ONLY by separating the two (innate being versus chosen activity) that one can legitimately discuss the "homosexuality". Just because one may, through no choice of their own, feel like doing something (possess the state of mind to do something) does not mean that whatever they choose to do is acceptable and or always to be tolerated.
