Same-Sex Marriage

[boxy]

[Rorschach]

I know what you were implying mantra I was trying to get a sensible answer. Like to try answering the actual question again? Or perhaps trying to see the deeper meaning in what I asked?

My daughter coincidentally had been reading quite a bit about transgenderism recently - those true life stories they have all over the net. I often suggest to her that she needs to find a replacement for her long term boyfriend, but she came back at me yesterday saying that it would be too difficult for her to meet someone else because the boy might turn out to be a girl.That had me thinking back to my days of youthful encounters and it never occurred to me that a boy might actually be a girl.

Some transgenders can be very deceitful, as well as convincing so as it's becoming commonplace - there should be registration somewhere saying that Mary used to be called Bob and Paul used to be called Susan.

If we use the same logic against gay marriage (marriage has traditionally between one man and one woman) and apply it to the status of women then women around the world should have taken away their right to vote.

Only if you use fucked up lefty logic from lefty logic lala land.

This subject has been done to death. What else can you say about it. My comments on transgenderism were just a mild diversion and not meant to be taken too seriously. I don't care one way or the other who wants to marry who.

Then don't make stupid comments.
I'm still waiting for the penny to drop and for you to seriously answer my question mantra.
Why would you need to make sure people know your sex if same sex marriage was legalised mantra?
A question that goes to the core of the issue.

I think that's pretty obvious. What if Charles hates women so he marries James and then finds out that James was born a female. What is a transgender anyway - a bit of male - a bit of female? Taking hormones and having reassignment surgery doesn't make a person 100% the sex of their choice.

Do you understand that the LW Progressives of which you are counted as part of want same sex marriage?
In which case sex becomes irrelevant in the scheme of things in regards to marriage?

Even if same sex marriage is never made legal here, a transgender should still have the sex he or she was born with left on their birth certificate.

Do you realise how IDIOTIC that sounds?
