Gender

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Why is a test required?  What would it be testing for?

If I want, sincerely, to be included amongst the social group 'women' and have society treat me as 'woman', then isn't that enough for interpersonal relations (institutional interactions may he more complex)?  

I think I'd try and respect anyone's sincere self-ID, and I'd like people to respect mine.

If that's what you want, and that's how you want to live, I think you should do it. I don't think anybody should have the right to forbid it. 

I think it's great that there are all kinds of people in the world, and we have different outlooks on things and respectfully debate everything under the sun. 

The only reason to have a test would be if someone wanted empirical, objective, repeatable evidence. That is, something more scientific than an individual's desire to live and be seen a certain way. Science doesn't work according to what people want or how they believe themselves to be. You know what they say, "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it."

I think a person should live as they want and as they believe is best, but that's not science.

(Bold mine)

This is truly funny, considering the number of people on this site you refuse to converse with.
