The rule contains an explicit definition of gender identity that states a person can claim to be male, female, neither, both, or some combination of the two, said Roger Severino, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at the Heritage Foundation.

"Sir, I'm sorry to inform you that you have endometriosis."
"Well, that can't be right. What do I do?"
"You can start by letting me say 'Ma'am'."
More nonsense.
I suppose you wouldn't care to see it from the point of view of a medical professional. Fair enough. Two traits of a patient that can't be healed: selfishness and denial.

If you are treating someone "like a woman," how do you tell them they have prostate cancer? Technically, you can't because women, real ones, do not have prostates.
They can still be treated.
All that's being asked here is for the preferred pronouns to be used.
It's not a lot to ask to refer to someone as the pronouns that match the gender they are living as.
Says who? I would think it would be insulting to that person to be treated for prostate cancer. I know it is insulting to tell them they aren't a woman? I know they get all upset when you point out the facts about biology. Why would this person even accept prostate treatment when they refuse to accept that they are a man and will always be a man?
Maybe these people need to address their schizophrenia first...then we can call them what they are and they can be treated for and based upon what they are.

All medical treatments can be denied. In the unlikely event that they really would be insulted by having prostate cancer, instead of being afraid, they could refuse treatment. Medical treatment is rarely mandatory.
To say all trans people are schizophrenic, is incredibly immature, and asinine. That conclusion is vacuous at best, and speaks volumes about your character.

As for the prostate cancer. Just so you realize. if a man with prostate cancer were to deny treatment because they believe they are a woman and therefore can't have prostate cancer...that person has a mental problem. Any court would uphold that for their own well being.

Yeah - they tried that age-old tactic of ganging up on me and trying to overload and bait me with various studies and name calling, the usual.
There was about 7 of them, they got pissed because I held them off on my own and beat their brains out.

I already stated, which you refused to read - I've read them, I read that crap when it was posted in other threads.
I simply don't care.
