I understand perfectly well what this (my opinion) mental illness consists of: someone believing they are of the opposite gender from which they were born. They instead observe and imitate (what they believe) are gender norms of that opposite sex and masquerade as it (some even take drastic measures to complete the…

No, but that's silly. There IS evidence of ancient humanity recognizing the issue, though, such as "male" skeletons that have been found that were buried according to female burial customs, with female burial objects, etc. Regarding lack of surgery as proof is like saying that since Cro-Magnons didn't perform open…

I wouldn't say ignorance so much as as a different opinion. This is why I despise Socialist language: It's not politically correct so it's bigoted and ignorant.

I'm not arguing anything so you can put your pseudo-intellectual debating strategy guide away with this one.

So we're playing the inflammatory name-calling game, then? Sure thing, misguided bigoted social-crusader Socialist. :)

So there has never been cases of this term used outside of fiction? Or is this just your interpretation of the term?

Wow, such "tolerance" these "progressives" have.

I've seen both. If a man's penis has been severed (as is the case of what Katherine Kieu Becker did to her husband), it is also referred to as castration.

So there is historical evidence of Cro-Magnons performing sex changes procedures and apes mutilating their genitals to pass off as the opposite sex to potential mates? I would love to read these.

Wow. So, because you don't share my opinion, I'm an "ignorant, hateful bigot?" This is what people think promotes "progress" in society?

The only reason eunuchs are still referred to with male pronouns is because that's what they were before their castration. Male is also used in electrical terminology to describe the convex interface of something ("female" being the opposite, concave term).

Actually, if a man was castrated, the term used would be "eunuch" as they are no longer a man.

I would call Aang "watchable" (which is more than I could say about that spoiled bully feminist construct that is Korra).

Incompetent management is par for the course in this industry. Some of my friends lost their jobs (others were relocated) when Disney decided to euthanize a liability.

I wasn't referring to scholarly journals. I was referring to Kotaku. If they can print articles promoting women's issues, why not men's issues as well....unless there's an agenda?

The biggest, most heinous trolls I've ever encountered online were the ones that accused others of being trolls.

"Our forces in South India have won a glorious victory. I am authorized to say that the action we are now reporting may well bring the war within measurable distance of its end. Here is the newsflash –"

My "moral outrage" gives me all the righteous confidence I need.

You're not responding to "things on a message board." You're pathologically stalking my posts and further proving me right. You haven't proven anything (beyond your own mental illness) and have only harassed me after disagreeing with my initial comment and refusal to cater to your boorishness and belittling recitals…

"Deal with it, I guess."
