> Gender is an immutable characteristic? That's debatable
Actually I don't think anybody's debating that - transexuals say that they were born as whatever gender they identify with, they just say it doesn't match what their body looks like. Everybody seems to agree that it's immutable, even if there are people who can't seem to quite agree on how it's identified.
- andresp 5y agoThat position seems to discriminate against gender-fluid people.
- jtbayly 5y agoNo. There are many who argue that it is entirely up to you who you want to be. And you can always change your mind.
- goatlover 5y agoWhich assumes there isn't a biological motivation behind the gender most people wish to identify as. Or that we have some sort of free will independent of what motivates our choices.
