Sex is, but gender is not. Gender is all the superficial crap like clothes, appearance, behavior, way of talking, names (sometimes), pronouns, etc. 

Sex has a genetic component, but gender is an artificial social construct and chromosomes have nothing to do with gender.

But if Rachel is truly delusional it sounds more like a sickness than a choice. I am in no way condoning what she has done and it still doing. However, it seems to me that she is doing this out of some warped mindset rather than that she thinks “black is cool”, though there may be that as well. This whole damn thing…

It is rape. It’s not even a grey area. People inserting fingers or objects into your genitals without your consent is rape. A medical degree doesn’t change that,

I’ve had this with a dentist. I needed my wisdom teeth removed (all four of them) and my own dentists didn’t do such procedures so he referred me to a colleague of his.

The other dentist couldn’t sedate properly. He missed several times and stuck the needle in my tong and in the roof of my mouth before he finally got…

Rape is never about sex, but always about power. In this instance a doctor always has power over a patient and if they use it to prerform procedures on a patient without consent then we are talking assault. If a doctor just sticks fingers or instruments in a patient’s vagina then we are talking rape.

A medical degree…

If a doctor does any of those things without your expressed consent then it is rape. It’s the very legal defintion of rape. Google it if you don’t believe me.

If medical staff just stick their fingers in women’s vagina’s without asking them, then that’s the very defintion of rape. Women never stop being human beings, whether pregnant or not, whether giving birth or not. It should also be asked.

I have a similar story, but it was not on my first day. I was interning for a few weeks at a shipping company. One day we had a fire in a small storage locker. One of the employees had taken some pictures and because I was the IT “expert” because I once had a job as a software QA, was told by my boss to put the…

Every child has these irreversible physical changing looming over them. They are scary and confusing and can make you feel like your body is not yours anymore. It’s painful, but it’s normal. Puberty is a mess, no matter what.

If something in your mind is making you want to die, altering your body will not fix that. Depression can really mess with your brain.

It’s physically impossible to change your sex as a human. The official definition of sex is this:
* -Produce ova = female
* - Produce spermatozoa = male

It’s as of yet impossible to change this for humans. But who knows what medical science can do in a few years.

But right now it’s all just cosmetic surgery and hormones.…

I would also love to see such articles. This particular article is more than three years old. Are there still plans for this?

I was hoping someone would bring up my favorite Adam’s family member.

I hope you do realise that there is a correlation between autism and transgender kids. If you want to throw Barron under the bus, you’d be doing the same to a lot of trans-kids with autism. Also, it’s already clear Trump doesn’t give two shits about any of his children who are not Ivanka. The only one who would suffer…

But if you have a life-threatening situation on your hand such as someone who isn’t breathing, then surely calling an ambulance gives that person a better chance of survival, even if only because ambulances generally carry better equipment for CPR then just doing it by hand. Or am I wrong?

Bye! Bye! Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

I envy you the joy part of your childhood. I grew up solidly middleclass and never wanted for anything material, though I was a spoiled brat and many times whined for more. But in my family fights happen at least every couple of days. The screaming, crying and yelling are sounds I will never forget. They still happen…

I first realised how little I made when I was 21 and we departed from our old currency. I had a job I enjoyed in a pet-store and I made about 1200 Gilder a month. A Euro back then was worth about 2 Gilder. So when we finally made a complete switch from Gilder to Euro I ended up making 600 Euro a month. Rapid…

I think at this point I am better off finding another line of work where I can actually keep communications to a minimum and mostly work by myself. Unless I am lucky enough to find like-minded colleagues, but I know that can be rare.
