Biological sex and gender identity: differences and overlaps

[jeevey]

For the record, I totally reject the flesh/spirit dichotomy. Also for the record, free will is not dependent on that dogma at all.

This chart is so unbelievably wrong, I can't even begin to explain the errors in it.

I can't be bothered to read this, but I'm assuming more red means more evil.

I can't believe Islam is listed under the left, but not Christianity...both would be theocracies. Shows you how biased and wrong this chart is.

I've defended you somewhat on a couple of occasions. But when you post crap like this you look like a complete moron. Anyone with even an extremely basic knowledge of political ideology sees through it in half a second.

Unless you're trying to be funny, which proves my theory that right-wing people are inherently incapable of being funny.

Of course not. Not only does my philosophy recognize inherent biological sex as true human nature but also the dichotomous flesh/spiritual nature of man. The latter which gives us, ALL OF US, freewill.

Vlad of course must reject that.

Eh what exactly does this have to do with the rate of suicides amongst young trans kids in the US?

What I find baffling about INDY's post is that I'm not from Russia, I have never set foot inside Russian borders and have never claimed to support the Russian government. That post had no point.

But I'm just going to safely assume he's trolling here.

[Galeongirl]

I just don't get the comparison... I mean, your post was on the consequences of the mental pressure on transgender teenagers, whom already suffer from a lot of peer pressure already and are likely bullied... what does that have to do with the amount of suicides in a country like Russia? Of which a lot are probably stupidity suicides due to badly homemade vodka, but that's a whole other case. As far as I can see it, the two things simply have nothing to do with each other?

[Vlad n U 2]

A bit of salty jibe given I come from that region and speak the language, with the assumption that I don't recognise the vast problems facing Russia (and Eastern Europe as an extension) today? Otherwise, I really have no clue. It's not worth getting off topic for though.

He's saying that, sure, it might be rough for TG American kids, but it's even worse to be a Russian.

I think life would be a tad difficult for us in Russia as well..

I think what he was trying to say was that if you're not going to blame yourself for the problems in Russia, then he shouldn't have to blame himself for the problems facing trans* youths.

Vlad wants to blame others (folks like me) for the suicides of gender questioning youths. I'm no more the cause of their suicides than Vlad is of Russian suicides. Shame that the absurdity of both is lost to FYM.

It's a shame what's lost on you.

Yes you are.

You support politicians who actively work to destroy anyone in the LGBT community.

You are absolutely part of the problem.

[Vlad n U 2]

Just for the record guys, I would like to confirm that I haven't lead any Russians to attempt suicide.

Actually, there is little absurdity in the first case. The main reason most LGBT youth kill themselves is because they cannot accept themselves, or others cannot accept them. And it's mainly the latter. So by keeping your views alive and supporting politicians who openly hate on LGBT people, yes, you do in fact contribute to them wanting to kill themselves. tolerance is all we're looking for here, rather than hatred and lack of understanding. Didn't you say something about compassion earlier?

Sorry but that's BS. Suicide is always a tragedy but always a choice, an act of selfishness and cowardice that leaves those behind feeling guilty and feeling helpless and to to blame.

Am I equally at blame for the suicide rate among the chronically depressed and unhappy because I'm one happy SOB?

Humans have freewill. They have an intellect in which to overcome their genes, environment or emotions. But I know, it's mean to think people are ultimately responsible for their actions.

Off topic. All I have to say about that.

[jeevey]

I think we can officially strike the claim to empathy.
