You're completely right. We should no longer give birth names and and instead refer to each other by our social security numbers. No info should ever be collected. Not sex, or weight, height, skin color, race, ect ... This is what you're propose right? Since no person is exactly the same. This would go over really well in medical science. Or anywhere else in life. Why stop there? Why classify plants or animals? The penis/vagina is the most basic way to classify people. If you can't classify by this, it makes all other classifications irrelevant. I get it. You're trying to find a reason why a person shouldn't be classified by their sexual reproductive organs ... and its ignorant. Your argument is that a person should be classified by gender on how they "feel" they should be because a person shouldnt be classified as there is no clear subset. ....Yeahhh you're being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.
Oh gee the race card!! Because only a black man can be a slave right? No discussion is ever complete until race is brought up. ..oh and Hitler. Jews clearly has psychological issues since they disagreed with being lab rats and exterminated. Now that these are out of the way, we can finally let this topic die.
Nice, you were looking for a way to cut and run - glad you found one. Run away Space Ghost. It's fine. I hope you do some research and try to learn something about transgenderism before posting about it.
You see you're still running to old animated imagery of Brave New World or some other extreme imagery. Let's just discuss, I'm not insulting you in any way. I genuinely don't necessarily buy that we should classify people by how they feel. I'm asking you: why have a gender classification system at all? What purpose does it serve in today's world? It used to be important, but then it turned out we were horribly sexist. That's starting to change so obviously a lot of the necessary classification back then is unnecessary now. You don't need to know whether someone is male or female to vote. You don't need to know whether someone is male or female to hire them. It seems the need for a classification in this regard is so incredibly rare that having it at all is becoming pointless and a means for abuse at times. Do we really need this?
It's a very fine line at the moment. I'll bet insurance adjusters are making it up on the fly if only because there aren't as clear a cut of answers when you dig deeper into the details. My company is fairly liberal in leadership mindset, but they've been slow to act for covering transgender benefits to employees if they ever needed it. One transgender employee put them on blast in the company forum, which didn't make anyone happy. Logistically though, do I or HR want the rise in costs for it or are there ways to make this affordable or optionable? As this issue is way ahead of the social curve, the system in place will move and adjust even slower. There's an impulse to rush and solve things when a problem is identified but in this case, it raises social questions beyond the original source. Questions that aren't simply quantified with the science we currently have.
He has issues with having been a slave, in environment where there are no more slaveholders. He has to adjust his interactions and coping mechanisms to fully operate in that society and avoid projecting or transferring social discomfort from his old masters to his new contemporaries. No one has a right to surgery, nor is something that dangerous and irreversible an optimal or scalable remedy for non-physical issues. Genetics are too easily drawn upon as a rebuttal to assertions of behavioral "choice." Separately a safe and prosperous society functions in part through collaboration, so in certain circumstances non-conformity is confusing and inefficient.
