So, just here to troll then?
Maybe you missed it:

Emerging scientific evidence strongly suggests that gender-identity originates in the brain, and that the brains of transgendered folks are more like the gender they identify as, rather than the gender their biological sex is commonly associated with. So, your proposition that trans people are picking what gender they want to be based on something arbitrary like favoritism or whim, and therefore people of various races could theoretically do the same thing, is inherently flawed and not supported by evidence.

There are either 23 or 26 (sources differ) tribe-owned casinos in Michigan. Detroit has three corporate-owned casinos. So yes, your family could own a casino in Michigan. Anything else? Boru

You gone and missed the point. Yes - a trans person DOES " choose". They, and they alone get to say who they are. What you, I and society think - apparently means nothing. Only the individual decides what the rest of society identifies them as. If this is true - my ascertation that I am Native American should be equally valid. Unless you have a logical reason otherwise. (June 4, 2019 at 7:48 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote:(June 4, 2019 at 7:37 pm)onlinebiker Wrote: Can my family own a casino in Michigan? Think so? Bwahahaha.... .... Michigan DOES allow for someone to change their gender - legally. However - no so for changing one's race. Where is the outrage? RE: Choosing who you are

Did you even read the summaries? Do you care if your assumptions are correct or not? Logic is dependent on facts and evidence. I provided you with a logically sound, evidence-based refutation of your argument. If you refuse to respond to it, I’m going to report you for trolling. I’ll link to the research for a third time, in case you missed the first two.
