Oh right, it's my fault that you've responded with hate and ignorance. Sure, that makes sense.Originally Posted by Smokey 1
If you ever want to find out more about a picture, you can go to google images, then click on and drag the picture into the google images search bar. If you were to do that for my avatar, you will find that he is Andrej Pejic. It's pretty amazing that you could tell he's not a "real woman" since he's a famous super model of both women's and men's fashions. I guess you've got a better eye for feminine beauty than the world's leading fashion designers.
I refer to Andrej as 'he' because I have never heard him refer to himself as she. I've heard that he doesn't care how people gender him, and I don't know how he identifies. Maybe he's trans and maybe not. Either way, it really exposes your hatred when you feel the need to go out of your way to invalidate his gender identity, and makes you look pretty silly because he doesn't even identify as a woman.
A Human being cannot be reduced to DNA, we are vastly more complex than that. The first level of complexity after our DNA is expression into proteins, aka, epigenetics. A recent discovery by Rice et al shows that gender-sex variance is in fact caused by an epigenetic mechanism. So homosexuality and transgender are both caused by a variation in the way the DNA is expressed. It is believed that there is an anomalous expression of the androgen receptor, which leads to an insensitivity to testosterone and a consequent failure to masculinize parts of the brain.
When the androgen receptor is completely knocked out, it produces an intersex condition called complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS). In this condition, a person with a the 46,XY genotype is born with a vulva, a shallow vagina, and testicles which later descend into the labia. These individuals go through normal female puberty, although they do not menstruate.
It may surprise you to know that there is at least one known case of an individual with the 46,XY genotype who had a full female reproductive system and even gave birth to two children. Report of Fertility in a Woman with a Predominantly 46,XY Karyotype in a Family with Multiple Disorders of Sexual Development The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism January 1, 2008 vol. 93 no. 1 182-189
So basically, you have no idea what you're talking about. Not everyone with the 46,XY genotype is male. Some folks with 46,XY are female. I'll be happy to go into the cases of 46,XX individuals who were born with a functional penis, with internal ovaries and uterus if you like. And another thing, I've never had my chromosomes tested and neither have you. So neither of us know what sex chromosomes we own. The baseless assumptions you've made about me expose your bigotry.
Now that you know better, you should stop supporting violence against trans women and you should stop making false accusations.
Why do you feel the need to dictate my sexual orientation to me when you are clearly lacking knowledge of the scientific and philosophical facts of this matter? Why not let me identify how I feel it is best to identify?If you are married to a male that male is gay and so are you.
As if there weren't enough evidence of your hate and bigotry, you had to edit your post to get in that last final poke in the eye. Was it really worth it?Have a nice day, dude.
