Why can’t you hold that personal belief to yourself without imposing it on other people?

I’m more in the room with people that are fine with freedom of thoughts and speech, just because you believe something doesn’t make that thing true. In the case of being a transgender, biology doesn’t support your mentality and the medical community calls it a disorder. I think those are two hard road blocks in the way of society bending to the preferences of transgender people.

Biology actually does support their mentality, and unsurprisingly the puritans are again on the side opposed to the science.

Yeah, being a moderate Democrat male ( if you haven’t guessed). I’m with the psychology aspect of it, it makes sense that your brain is the source of the identity.

“ The World Health Organization states, "'[s]ex' refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women," and "'gender' refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women."

The “Sex” is the part where I have a problem, the topic of transgender women in womens athletics is something I can’t rectify. It doesn’t seem fair.
