    ...and obviously, you can't turn a bigoted knucklehead into a thinker!

     

    Again: "choose" is the term in question!

    They don't "choose" anything!

    You don't "choose" to be white or black or heterosexual!

    Also you don't "choose" to identify as a woman, if you are transgender!

     

     

    Ad hominem does not help you or your instance on trying to turn genetics on its head XY will never be XX but can identify as XX and I defend that freedom.

    I was paying nigh on that up to last year for satellite TV and realised that pretty well the only thing I watched was the News because the rest was so crap. Movie and TV reruns, three years old in some cases!

    So I put it into Internet instead, better bandwidth and a couple of subscriptions.

    Couldn't be happier.

    I am on Pulse but only watch the news (CNN/BBC) but they are not HD and on a 75 inch screen text looks fuzzy whereas Netflix for movies is HD and outstanding (but no news).

    Sorry, but this is a false equivalency!

    You don't get born in a "white" body and "feel black"!

    That just does not happen.

    You may adopt a "black"- lifestyle...although, I have no idea, what that might look like...but it is a LIFESTYLE and thereby a choice! 

    Again: no one wakes up one day and thinks "I feel kind of womany, today and I think, I will start to wear dresses and dwell in the joys of menstruation!"

    Anyway you support my argument it's a CHOICE not an actuality biologically. Ergo... they are men who like to be identified as a woman.

    A he can't be a she. Shes are born shes.

     

    Pretend doesn't count.

    Well I am trying to get to the point, and many LBs insist they are 'she's',  that biologically they cannot be a 'she' but if they want to identify that way then why not and we can protect that right.

     

    If a white person wants to identify as black (and this has happened) it doesn't change their skin colour or the biological facts.

    About a year ago I tested out a few of the cheap Thai vodkas ....I am not a picky drinker but let me tell you that thoes cheap Thai Vodkas were absolutely horrid....Please do not spend even one baht on this garbage......

    Gilbeys vodka I found to be ok for drinking and ok priced..About half the price of Absolute Vodka...

     

    But finding cheap wine is getting more and more hard all the time...If the rapid tax increases dont stop they will be charging 500-750 baht a liter for even the cheapest wine...

     

     

     

     

    Prayut needs to raise the money for the Subs and as very few Thais drink wine it's fair game.

    I see no reason why a persons wishes cannot be respected.

     

    "he" and "she" are words we as a species have created as a pronoun.

     

    I'm happy for anyone to choose the pronoun they feel identifies them.

     

    Really not a problem.

     

    I don't disagree. But you agree they can never BE another sex as evolution and physiology has decreed their sex at birth they can only 'choose' to be identified as such. However much my beloved cat thinks she's a human, and identifies as such, does not make her one.
