4 year olds able to change gender in Scotland

I seem to have made a mistake.

I wrongly assumed that the poster was talking about condemning or repealing all trans- legislation/rights. I'm obviously against that. Trans- rights exist and we must support those rights - to a point, when it doesn't interfere with the rights of legitimate women.

And I'm definitely against the introduction of this pernicious "guidance", which - in my view - is nothing more than a Trojan horse for far worse legislation yet to come.

Gender IS a spectrum, that's for sure (at least that's what we're told).

Gender is a vast spectrum that extends from the zenith of masculinity to the nadir of feminism - and everything in between. Given the social construct is to vast, broad and even more extensive, it means that all of us - regardless of whether we identify as trans- or non-trans - fall on this spectrum in some way.

I myself am not 100% masculine. Maybe 89%, perhaps 92% - who knows. Certainly not the perfect example. Where would you fall?

And that's the point.

If we are to accept the principle that gender is a spectrum, then all of us - no matter who we are, nor what we believe - fall onto that spectrum and must, by definition, be transgender to some degree.

Is there a human being on the planet we can point to who is 100% masculine?

Is there a human being on the planet we can point to who is 100% feminine?

No, of course not.

But, we are not all transgender.

And that's the problem. And it's a problem that the pro-trans lobby singularly fails to address.

This is a religion. Facts and evidence are set aside. No evidence can possibly be produced to convince the other side they may be wrong. Instead, it comes down to the classic age-old method of religious fundamentalism - namely, proselytization, what you feel, and how you must convert the "other" to the just position.

Throw away the labels, and let those poor children be.

It's really not complicated.

I propose that gender doesn't even exist.

Sex, yes - objectively exists.

Gender is nothing more than personality descriptions.

We can objectively test for the existence of sex.

Gender is subjective. What gender a person chooses today can be changed in 2 weeks, 2 months, or 20 years from now. It's the very opposite of objective.

There is nothing provable about the existence of gender. It's nothing more than a personality description that can shift with time.

So yes, problem solved - unless you have evidence that contradicts any of the above.

The hermaphrodite and the intersex individual are a different category of person, and must not be conflated with the transgender individual. For instance, most people who are intersex do not identify as transgender. Even if they did, that wouldn't validate your point.

People can indeed choose to change their gender (as is often the case), that's my point. That it can be changed through subjective choice.

Sex cannot be changed, no matter what you believe or think.

Therefore imposing subjectivity upon 4-year old children, who can barely count, is an affront against humanity.

How?

I've already said that biological sex is objective.

Gender cannot be proved. By what test can we prove gender and/or gender identity?

For sex, we know exactly what we would do.

For gender, we rely on subjective opinion - which is the opposite of objectivity.

Gender doesn't exist.

What part of that don't you understand?

You have boys, and you have girls. That's it.
