I'm sorry you don't know what chromosomes are. That's why I posted the link, and will continue to, whenever someone makes a thread about dudes with boob jobs having special bathrooms, and women with beards needing to be called "Sir.
Klinefelter syndrome is a condition related to the X and Y chromosomes (the sex chromosomes). People typically have two sex chromosomes in each cell: females have two X chromosomes (46,XX), and males have one X and one Y chromosome (46,XY). Most often, Klinefelter syndrome results from the presence of one extra copy of the X chromosome in each cell (47,XXY). Extra copies of genes on the X chromosome interfere with male sexual development, often preventing the testes from functioning normally and reducing the levels of testosterone. Most people with an extra X chromosome have the features described above, although some have few or no associated signs and symptoms.
Some people with features of Klinefelter syndrome have more than one extra sex chromosome in each cell (for example, 48,XXXY or 49,XXXXY). These conditions, which are often called variants of Klinefelter syndrome, tend to cause more severe signs and symptoms than classic Klinefelter syndrome. In addition to affecting male sexual development, variants of Klinefelter syndrome are associated with intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, poor coordination, and severe problems with speech. As the number of extra sex chromosomes increases, so does the risk of these health problems.
Some people with features of Klinefelter syndrome have the extra X chromosome in only some of their cells; in these individuals, the condition is described as mosaic Klinefelter syndrome (46,XY/47,XXY). Individuals with mosaic Klinefelter syndrome may have milder signs and symptoms, depending on how many cells have an additional X chromosome.
In Swyer syndrome, individuals with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell, the pattern typically found in boys and men, have female reproductive structures.
People with Swyer syndrome have typical female external genitalia. The uterus and fallopian tubes are normally-formed, but the gonads (ovaries or testes) are not functional; affected individuals have undeveloped clumps of tissue called streak gonads. Because of the lack of development of the gonads, Swyer syndrome is also called 46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis. The residual gonadal tissue often becomes cancerous, so it is usually removed surgically early in life.

I just hope you still have internet when your business fails so that I can appreciate the outcome.

The chromosome argument is antiquated.
It does show ignorance.
Oh, so I don't have different chromosomes as a man as you do as a woman, or, we do, but if I go buy some boobs mine change?
Which is it?

Who your friends are (I'm glad you have trans* friends!) isn't what will make your business fail. Your basic lack of understanding of how business works, and what rights you do have and don't have as a business owner, is what will make you fail.

I wonder if she had this "personality disorder" as a child and ever felt it hurtful when the teacher said boys over here and girls over there?

Hmmm? So, Walter Carlos was well established as a man with a prominent career in music but yet Wendy Carlos is an "actual" transgender? Do you think she made this transition at the snap of the fingers or blink of an eye? I wonder if she had this "personality disorder" as a child and ever felt it hurtful when the teacher said boys over here and girls over there? I find it kind of odd that one of your heroes is also someone you think is mentally ill.

Bruce Jenner is a gay man with a boob job who doesn't have, doesn't want, and likely is very grossed out by vaginas.
He WILL NOT get full trans-gender surgery. He's a guy with a boob job, not a hero, and to call him "she" is as insulting to actual WOMEN as Dolezal is to black people. HE wants this to be our "problem" to solve as a society where HE is a very, very small, minority of drag queens with boob jobs.

Transgenders are not required to have surgery to change their sexual organs. It is a personal CHOICE. And it's no one else's business if they do or don't.
Jenner is a male to female transgender who is attracted to women. He is not a gay man with boobs.
