What is DSM?

Which science?
Biology?
Anthropology?
Political science?

Not surprising... as I understand it the idiom goes, "If you let the camel stick his nose under the tent, soon you'll be sleeping with a camel".

I dunno about sticking a camel toe under the tent... ahem

Really? In what way? How does it violate the rights of cisgender people at all?

Hey, wait a minute. You're saying it's some kind of illness... HOMOPHONE!

:)

Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) Triple X syndrome (47, XXX)
Turner syndrome (45,X) XXYY Syndrome (48, XXYY)
Just to be clear the biological sex chromosome errors do not result in a third biological sex, they are genetic disorders .with other physical and /or mental impairments. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi...

Do you have a link for this study? Males lose half of the SDN cells in the age range of 50-60. There is nothing to suggest they change their sexual orientation as a result. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles... I am interested.

Technically, the latest edition of the DSM lists the condition as "Gender Dysphoria."

Maine is batshit crazy.

A truly rational person would look at the science and make judgements based on that, and not rely on prejudice or bias.

"When this occurs in an individual, that person is said to be mentally ill".

FIFY

Biological Sex:
The biological factors which determine your genetic and physical make up; controlled primarily by sex chromosomes, but other factors (such as hormone levels in the womb during fetal development) can influence this as well. The two most common chromosomal pairs are XX and XY, though there are many other possible combinations as well, such as XXY, XYY, or even just X. It's also possible for a fertilized egg to contain just a Y chromosome, but such cases always result in the termination of the fetus due to insufficient genetic material. In total there are about 52 different possible combinations of sex chromosomes, though most of the divergent combinations are extremely rare. It's also possible that a person may have a condition known as genetic mosaicism, in which a single individual has both XX and XY cells arraigned in a sort of checkerboard pattern throughout their entire body. It's rare, but it is possible.

Gender Identity:
The gender which you internally perceive yourself to be; controlled by a part of the brain called the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Males typically have a large BNST, while females have a small one. Most of the time this is perfectly aligned with a person's biological sex, though sometimes it can be inverted or even ambiguous. When this occurs in an individual, that person is said to be transsexual.

Gender Expression:
Your mannerisms, the way you present yourself, the way you speak, and the clothes you wear. This is the most flexible aspect of gender.

Sexual Orientation:
Who you are sexually attracted to; controlled by a part of the brain called the sexually dimorphic nucleus (SDN). Again, it's large in males, and small in females, except for gays and lesbians, who have an SDN the size of the opposite sex.

It affects them in that it is the camel's nose into perverting their society. You may want to live in a Humpty-Dumpty world, but rational people do not.

Actually, language has gender, people have sex.

that would be, "fucked up".

"transgender" is only real in the sense that nutjobs would rather mutilate their bodies, and batshit crazy doctors would empower them to do so, rather than get their minds treated.

From what I understand, the sequence of events went like this:

The original incident occurred in 2007.
The lawsuit was filed in 2009.
The lower court judge reached a decision in 2012.
The higher court reversed that decision in 2014.

So apparently this case has been on-going for the last seven years.

What about XXY?
