O for petes sake.. we are born with our gender . a persons wants do not change the science of the DNA
I wonder if the Devil plays a long game with definitions of words. In recent times, I've read that John Money was the one who converted the word 'gender' from a grammatical category to mean one's concept of male or female. He supposedly came up with the terms 'gender role', 'sexual orientation' and popularized the term 'gender identity.'
John Money, a psychiatrist did not think pedophilia was a disorder. He was a pioneer in promoting medical genital mutliation (sex reassignment surgery.) There was a baby who'd undergone a botched circumcision, and John Money recommended doing what is now called transitioning, having him castrated and given female hormones, and the parents raised the boy as a girl. He had a twin brother. One book alleges Money had the two boys simulate sexual acts. The boy raised as a girl eventually found out he was really a boy. Eventually, he committed suicide, as many trans individuals have done sense. Money was a Harvard grad (PhD) who set up the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic in the 1950s, and was was a professor of medical psychology and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins.
I have also read that the term 'homosexuall' in German was originally introduced to refer to men attracted to boys, but reading the context, I am not sure about that. Growing up, the English version of it seemed to be used, in church, to include those who did the act. A couple of Bible translations, at least, use it that way. In academia, and for the younger generation, it has to do with attraction and orientation moreso than doing the deed, the same with 'gay' or 'lesbian.' That's why some people will say a little kid is 'gay' (and put a label on the poor kid, potentially messing with his mind.)
Maybe, 'historically', the term 'gender' in this context meant what these brainwashing promoters of evil idiocy say it means. It reminds me of 1984, where the torturers insist the man say there are five lights instead of the four that are there. But without all the pressure and torture, masses of people, even academics, politicians, and those who are supposed to be leaders in other spheres go along with it.
Apparently, 'gender' didn't mean the same thing as 'sex'-- as in the male-female distinction, but rather with some mental construct, and the brainwashers of children and college students promote this idea.
I used to like the word 'gender.' I had a word I could use in front of my mom, grandma, or in mixed company to refer to the difference between men and women without using the word 'sex.'
