It is relevant to my point. It shows that surgery and pills, and they will take loads of pills for life from what I have read, does not make a man a woman. If a PC guy wants to call such a male "she" that is one thing. It is a level of politeness one could say. But if few men would consider such a person a mate, that shows that said men do not really accept that we now have a "woman." As to medical, I have to wonder how a elective sex change doe not violate "do no harm." Seems like it does a lot of harm, though I do not get to judge that. But I do get to say I see it as a huge problem. I just see it, along with calling people "xe" just more signs of societal collapse. The President is a fink. |

Car suicides are probably MUCH higher. It is not an easy label to apply, and the family will fight such a designation, as it carries a stigma and also may affect life insurance. |

What is the terrible stigma? I don't get this stigma thing Somebody commits suicide, it is what it is. Depression is a terrible problem. There needs to be more open discussion about this. My father committed suicide. I am very open and honest about it and it did not effect the life insurance policy.

Most life insurance policies have a wait period after purchase before they cover suicide. It is usually relatively short only 2 or 3 years but stops you from buying a policy and committing suicide right away. The difference between losing a parent to suicide as compared to losing one of your children (even if grown) is huge. Parents are often riddled with guilt any time they lose a child. They spend the rest of their lives wondering how they could have prevented the death. Suicide is probably the worst for their guilt. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."

Why do you think it's anything different than say guys who prefer really fat women. There was even a convention of some sort at Sam's Town in Vegas when I lived there. I was in the casino and it just seemed there were an unusual number of very heavy women. Not just slightly overweight, but on the very obese side. There are men interested in women's feet. I doubt if they look for ugly toe claw foot women to marry if they don't have to. And even if these are niche groups, that don't matter so much to other men, so what? There may not be a lot of call for different things, but they are still people out there looking for such things. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Ask around and see. If I ran any kind of media and had the money I would run the poll. The President is a fink. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | It kind of reminds me of the Wizard's license plate collection. Even though I known other people to save them, I can count one hand, one finger, of all the people I've ever known who is a serious collector. In cases where something is uncommon it is often necessary to leave your own neighborhood to find someone. But anyway, what is it you want to do? You can probably prove that quadraplegics almost never can find mates if they were single. Another so what. What are we trying to show? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | The terms 'male' and 'female' are situationally defined. A jailor does not care about preferences, only abilities. If the prisoner is dressed as a female, has large breasts and identifies as a female psychologically so what? If the prisoner has a penis, that prisoner is classified as male and goes to the men's jail. Now in social situations its always different. Sensitivities come into play. Courtesy is a significant factor. Boxes on forms in a file cabinet may not mean as much as a pronoun used in a conversation. And you know a dealer who wants tokes will try to be very politically correct when on duty no matter what his actual opinions may be. |

You are correct that there should not be a stigma attached to it. But that is not the real world we live in. Some life insurance policies never pay due to suicide, some only pay after the policy has been in effect for a certain number of years. |

| JimRockford Member since: Sep 18, 2015 Threads: 2 Posts: 971 | I don't know about you but I would hate to use the proportion of the female population who want to f#*k me to determine if I'm male. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |
