-and that, boys and girls, is why transexuals should go to the bathroom of the conservative right's choosing..or, wait......no?

Quote:Language is a means of expressing oneself.
More importantly it is the means by which we communicate with each other. And that requires a common knowledge of the symbols, what they signify, and how they convey meaning.

Of course language is going to be muddied and incomplete when you try to introduce new concepts and understanding into the culture. That's the nature of progress.
This whole discussion about a lack of clearly defined terms, however, is just a red herring to distract from the fact that there is mounting neurological evidence that says that gender isn't simply defined by what is or isn't dangling between the legs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I'm just quoting you here, since I meant to quote something you said earlier, but didn't feel like going back to get it... and still don't.
Yet I feel I'd be remiss if I didn't "notify" you that I had replied to you, at this level, rather than just expecting you to stumble across the thread again.
Sorry! I'm feeling lazy after a long day.

I guess I should let primary cat out of the downstairs bathroom, go in and have a session where I explore my sexuality by tactile stimulation while imagining Senator Jesse Helms (god rest his soul) is peering in thru the keyhole.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As long as you do it in the bathroom labeled "men", have at it.
