Ok we'll stick with the stoush of the multisexuals.
The short answer??
YES.
Shocked??
Males and females do not think the same.. agreed>?
Because??? there are different hormonal imperatives, to put it as simply as possible.
The brain works differently between males and females.. to put it simply.
It is known, I understand, that given certain circumstances during the conception and gestational period of a fetus, typical gender determining processes can become disrupted.. and a fetus which should have been female, is born male. For example.
Now... if that disruption resulted in the male child having the characteristics of a female child, in mind and/or body,.. if the child is so affected as to know there was a problem, instinctively, and this imbalance is actively corrected through surgery and hormone treatment, THEN, I see no difference... she would be as female as I.
Well thats my opinion anyway..
If hormones determine either sex's behaviour so much - how can equality be demanded with a straight face?? Why not demand equal levels of hormones in everyone's blood?? ANd then we can tlk about equality.
It's no good to demand equality and then at the first challenge say 'oh, but we have different hormones and we are determined by those hormones'!
Women are either fully self determined (and so forget the hormones) or they are hormone-determined (and so forget the claim to full self-determination).
Or excuse
everything men do that you don't like and put it all down to male hormones.
Either we are all victims or none of us ae. You can't be jumping in and out of doors as it suits your political aims.
Freedom means you own your hormones, not hide behind them.
