Billnye has turned to the darkside

Why not? Etymology's pretty fluid. If enough people started using words to mean the same thing, it will just mean that thing.

if everyone started calling transgender women hijra tomorrow it still wouldn't change the fact that it's not it's own gender
aren't liberals always trying to suggest trans women are women? or am I just a dumb conservative?

not gonna read all 15 pages but ill drop this;

the picture of Bill saying that with the captions, is fake.
in the actual video he says something different.

So we've been bamboozled?

did you not read the second part of that post

they wouldn't be their own gender because they're women

[Nonnel]

love doesn't determine gender

If that's what "Gender" is commonly used to define, then yes...? That's how language works.

India's "hjira" is real, documented evidence that the whole concept of "gender" is nothing more than just that: a social concept that varies with different cultures.

You, being in the society of America, would see a hjira individual as either male or female, while the CULTURE/SOCIETY of India would see them as a separate, third gender. I'm not entirely sure what's so difficult to understand.

Arguing against "gender is a social construct" at this point is just being contrarian for the sake of contrarianism. There is literal proof that it is.

society determines what words mean

I really don't understand why anyone would get worked up about other people wanting to identify as a certain gender.

IMO you have to be pretty insecure yourself to take issue to it.

Put more effort into your posts. Posting a link in response to what I said is just lazy

[Poliwhirl]

it amazes me how far some of you would go to disagree with something that has little to no room for debate just because its something that the evil liberals believe

[Nonnel]

not to mention there's no correlation between the quote and the link
