Where else would you find entries such as these and these (some which have been in place for years) being discussed for their encyclopedic validity?

So, is that what Krimpet is up to? Killing off stupid synonyms for "vagina"?
Is it because she's unhappy that she wasn't born with one?......

It must be extremely difficult for transsexuals; I understand that. But I can't personally relate to why one would have a strong desire to change sex. Iit's not something that... you know. I just don't get it at all. If you're born XY, you'll always be XY. There's no point in having a 'sex change' if you'll always be genetically male.

I'll pretend this isn't a troll.

Lolwut, you are not your genes. That is why your identical twin will not have your fingerprints or retinal patern, and probably will not look enough like you that even your friends would have difficulty telling you apart. DNA is a recipe, not a blueprint. It's not complex enough to be anything like a blueprint (for example, your brain has 20 or 30 times more neurons than your DNA has base pairs). The rest of what happens after the recipe is executed comes from outside factors in development, random events, evolutionary competition between cell populations, and other kinds of the same sort of stuff that make one chocolate chip cookie different from another chocolate chip cookie.

All this includes brain-wiring. What gender you "feel like" is not what some stretch of DNA says, but how it's transcribed, what proteins get made, what wiring is invoked, what cells survive, what hormones are active, what womb environment is like, what postnatal programming and experiences take place. Saying there's "no point" in having a "sex change" if you're XX or XY is about as clueless a comment as opining that there's "no point" in rebuilding your house to your own specks, if the original drunken archetect messed up the sketchy plans, the construction crew didn't bother to execute THOSE, and the whole thing was hit by Hurricane Fuckup later, anyway.

No point? Does there have to be a point, except what you're happy to live in? Or not-- as the case may be?

eh? you will, won't you, I mean you do have at least the same fingerprint as your twin, and you are quite identical unless you are heavier or do something different with your hair etc. Just saying.

No.

The retinal patterns are even farther off. And when identical (monozygotic is a better word) twins die of natural causes, it's often quite different ones. So much for your DNA code being your medical destiny.
