That's a completely different matter to trying to impose upon people that someone born a man with male genitals is indisputably a woman.

It's just crappy little comments posted to irritate people because they can't actually hold a proper argument.

Well it's black and white for many if not most people, but that is beside the point. My issue is not with men who like to take ****, my issue is with men who like to take **** yet claim to be straight.

I suppose the root of many of my problems with the 21st century is that I call a spade a spade. Apparently to the millennials, the spade is whatever you imagine it to be!

God forbid any of you lot find yourself with a child who displays gender variant behaviour.

What are you going to do, beat it out of them or destroy them psychologically for life?

My money is on both.

Well if it was possible to identify this sort of thing in the womb, I'd advocate termination. But as it isn't currently possible, I suppose I will just have to love them and raise them the best I can. It wouldn't change my rational thoughts on the matter and it would obviously be difficult given my views, but I would do my best for them.

Mind you, I plan to have a few children just in case one of them turns out to be less than ideal.

Neither of those. Support, empathy and the same love and respect my other children will and do have.

You really do subscribe to the "accept everything!" or you are "against everything if you reject even the slightest detail no matter the legitimacy of your argument!" line of thought, totally unreasonable to the end.

Wouldn't having a gender fluid child mean that you get a son and a daughter in one economical package?

I don't see why it's an issue? Abortion is a thing. If you have a foetus which you know will have serious health issues, surely it would be cruel to bring that foetus to term when you could have another which would not have those problems?

It's not that serious a health issue.

I think the term you are looking for is "fascist".

It is a major health issue if you regard the function of life being to reproduce, which is exactly how I see it. A transsexual is more than likely not going to become a parent, and their genes are less than ideal.

Anyway, people abort for all sorts of inane reasons. It's surely no big deal?

Totalitarian or Authoritarian perhaps. Fascism is a slightly different beast. No one who advocates for transsexuals could ever be called a Fascist.

Eugenics.

Another thing the Nazis were massively in favour of.

If that chain of thought was followed to the letter then anyone who is not heterosexual would be a viable subject for abortion (bearing in mind the capability to detect these traits in early pregnancy existed), also those unfortunate people who may have conditions that prevent procreation, totally unreasonable.

They were massively in favor of food, oxygen and water too
