The younger generation really doesn't care about the ideals of baby boomers.
They will care when the nwo boots are on their necks and they can't do anything without a licence. I'll be dead by then :-)

It's very simple. You don't understand reality.
That is hilarious, coming from someone who believes that:
Are eyeglasses natural?
The use of fire?
Electricity?
Are relevant/legitimate comparisons to the suggestion that the use of artificial hormones that make men grow breasts is equivalent to a man turning into a woman.
So for some reason you believe using genetic engineering and hormone treatment is unnatural.
It is. It doesn't occur in nature, so it is, by definition, 'unnatural'.
I say that it is not only extremely unethical, it is a disaster in the making (see the movie 'I am Legend' for what I mean by that).
Here you are in cyberspace...you should be hunting and gathering..eating raw meat and making flint spears...be careful though that tech leads to more tech.
Again, confusing my opposition to unnatural, unethical and extremely dangerous genetic engineering of the human genome to some kind of blanket opposition to 'the discovery of fire' or ophthalmology, or now, the internet.
Silly boy.
People are always scared of things they don't understand.
Apparently you are also uniformed as to how our genes change...
That biology also changes to adapt to new environments.....
Notice how I pointed this out. It's totally over your head.
Lol...good luck with the future. Seeing as they can literally change sex through genetic engineering (a tool).
People were surely scared of those who used fire as well.
And again who cares what your personal views are and why should they matter and be something to control society.
Perhaps you should explore the topic of the social contract so you don't confuse the center of the world as where you are standing at any time.
I wouldn't necessarily put a "sex change" in the category of human engineering.
A natural male, perfectly physically healthy, is mutilated (if he decides to change himself physically - if that's even the case (urethra anyone me?)) and is not being improved (on the contrary). The likelihood of body fat increases increases by a huge factor; muscle tone and structure and mass take a greater nosedive than a Malaysian airliner flying over the Bermuda Triangle; bones become more brittle and prone to fractures etc etc.

Why shouldn't we use race and species interchangeably?
If we were talking about cats do you think a black cat is a different race than a white cat?

Your comment was incorrect which you obviously know since you had to recant that comment. Too funny.

Scared? Not in the slightest.
of things they don't understand.
I understand this subject well enough, even as a layman, to know that your point is pure BS.
Apparently you are also uniformed as to how our genes change...
Sure... on a purely micro level.
But by all means, prove me wrong and show me someone whose genes have spontaneously changed from XY to XX.

Notice how I pointed this out. It's totally over your head.
I notice how you keep making extremely general references to the evolutionary scale as somehow lending credence to the radical trans agenda/claim that a man can become a woman or vice versa.
Lol...good luck with the future. Seeing as they can literally change sex through genetic engineering (a tool).
During the formative stages of the embryo, yes, I admit it.
But that is irrelevant to the topic.
Again - show me a fully grown fully functional (sexually) adult human that has been 'transformed genetically' into a fully grown, fully functional (sexually) female, and I'll freely admit my mistake.
And again who cares what your personal views are and why should they matter and be something to control society.
I could also ask 'Who cares what your personal views are (that you believe that a man can become a woman) and why should they matter and be something to control society?", but I won't... well, ok, maybe I will...

I have not entered into any 'social contract'... if you claim otherwise, please produce said contract bearing my signature.

The constitution is based in the social contract. Its implied from your use of society. No signature necessary.
The big problem is nobody cares about your views on morality.
You mistake this as meaning my opinion matters.
What I am saying is it's already happening. People are already genetically altering humans.
They have already genetically altered mammals to change sex with genetic engineering.
It's the evolution of technology and human culture. You can't stop it by crying online.

When I'm wrong in this thread I'll let you know, as of now my correction to your erroneous statement is not wrong.
originally posted by: tanstaafl
No, your correction was not wrong on its face, but in context of the thread, it was, because it does not support the trans agenda in any way, shape or form.

Transgenderism has been acknowledged by society for pretty much the entirety of its existence. Transracialism, not so much.
By the way, if you're worried that black people are suddenly going to want to be white then you must also acknowledge that there is a clear disparity between the way whites and blacks are treated in society.
The fundamental basis for government and law in this system is the concept of the social contract, according to which human beings begin as individuals in a state of nature, and create a society by establishing acontract whereby they agree to live together in harmony for their mutual benefit, after which they are said ...

I love people like you who are utterly uneducated.
Luckily the founders were actually educated in philosophy.
And I have showed several times that human animal hybrids are already being created...[/quiote]
First - what does that have to do with transgender theory? Hint: nothing.
Second - show me the hybrids.
And that adult mice have had sex changes from genetic engineering. In fact same sex mice couples have borne children including males.
Sorry, you have shown no such thing. Links and evidence, or BS.
And the only people laughing are the educated that you have no vocabulary for an arguement of persuasion to begin with.
Actually, they're now laughing at that last incoherent sentence of yours... gobbledy-speak.
"Scientists have long assumed that once the sex determination decision is made in the embryo, it's final," Zarkower said. "We have now discovered that when Dmrt1 is lost in mouse testes — even in adults — many male cells become female cells and the testes show signs of becoming more like ovaries."
Ahem... 'like ovaries' is far, far from 'ovaries'.
"Last week, news broke that a prominent stem cell researcher is making human-monkey chimeras in a secretive lab in China."
Links, evidence, or BS.
