I was serious when I said the solution is to have XX and XY divisions for all sports. There may also be leagues in certain sports with a mixed division in which case XX and XY play together. Do the same with bathrooms. XX and XY. Family bathrooms already exist that allow,either sex. If people want to insist on changing the meaning of words, this solves the problem. There will be a select number of mental midgets read this and still not understand so let me help the special ones out a little further. Speech, by definition, is not violence. Speech CAN be hate. Scientific/biological facts are not hate. Claiming that not letting 1 person pretending to be a woman compete against women is unfair is the definition of ignorance. One person's mental illness does not trump the rights of every woman. I truly hope anybody who feels out of place in their own body can find peace with themselves. Pandering to and pretending it's not mental illness at the expense of the general population will never be the answer. I do not care how you dress, act, speak, and most of all who you sleep with. The rest of the world is not expected to play along with the delusion, though. I've seen the term intersex and hermaphrodite in this thread, too. There has never, in the history of man been a recorded case of someone having both female and male reproductive organs so that argument is nonexistent
With respect, I think you need to do a little homework. It isn't common but it is far from unknown. The most commonly used low number is 1.7%. The lowest number I could find was only a hundredth of that. However, considering that there are 8.1 billion people on earth that still means there are roughly 1,500,000 people who were born with male and female organs. Other claims run as high as one in fifteen hundred births which would mean roughly 5,400,000 people on earth now were born with both male and female reproductive organs.
Not too surprising to find that people with male and female organs exist when we all start off as females.
Although rare it does exist. Basically you lack the fundamental knowledge and understanding to participate in the discussion. OL suggests you read a book.
You are right about it existing of course. Often internal reproductive organs. A surprisingly high number for external abnormalities too though, the low side number seems to be one in two-thousand. Considering that there are 8.1 billion people on earth this morning even things that are rare on an individual basis are substantially represented when considering the entire world population.
I once knew a woman that claimed to have been born with both external organs. As is fairly common with abnormal running gear, the doctors and parents made a decision what the child would be raised as and they were surgically altered soon after birth. Since this is a matter of guesswork and parental preference, there is the potential for error. She appeared to be a woman and functioned as a woman, sleeping with men. Since I didn't know her on that level I have no idea about what she looked or felt like.
Veering towards the original topic of the thread, I knew a trans lady that had many surgeries back in the seventies and eighties. I happened to be sitting near a guy that was quite intoxicated that bragged he had slept with her the night before, I suspect equally intoxicated. Without mentioning why I asked how she was to sleep with. He said she was wonderful. I didn't push it too far. If she was happy, he was happy, why should it matter to anyone else or why should anyone mention to him that she was transsexual.
I did and do think of her as female as she had always dressed and behaved as a lady from the first time I met her. She would work long enough to pay for a surgery, go away to have the surgery, come back and repeat the process over and over. One day when she had just came back to work her boss asked what she was now and casually reached over and pulled out the bottom of her bikini to see for himself. Different times!
