Genders?

 I am getting sick and tired of all this "Gender" and "Pronouns" stuff.

I am a bloke - that's what it says on the Blog.

The really funny thing for me, is that when I was growing up, we were taught that there were boys and there were girls.

That's it.

And Gender and "sex" (in this meaning) were just different terms for the same thing. 

So whether it was gender or sex, the answer was boy or girl, male or female, bloke or sheila.

When you talk about your dog, it is either a boy or a girl dog.

When you talk about your cat it is either a boy cat or a girl cat.

With cattle, there are cows or bulls.

With Goats there are either billy goats or nanny goats, and guess what - they are either boy goats or girl goats.

Even bunnies are either boy bunnies or girl bunnies.

Kangaroos are either boy kangas or girl kangas.

Now, I know that there are technical terms (Buck and does, etc) for each of these, but the point I am making is that every living thing (almost) has boy and girl variants.

A few don't, but they are unusual. I think snails don't need one of each.

But the "normal" way in this creation is that mammals have male and female. And yes I did just use the word "Normal"..... get over it - it is a good word.

Most creatures also have male and female - that is why it is "normal".

Most fish have male and female.

Most reptiles have male and female.

Most birds have male and female.

I would like to say that in EVERY case this is true, but I don't know that for certain, so I will stop just short of it. But if you look in each class of creatures, the overwhelming majority of these creatures are either male or female, if not all of them.

The thing is, when an archaeologist digs up a skeleton, they look at the structure of the bones they find, and they decide based on that whether the skeleton was male of female.

When detectives come across a murder scene, they look at the remains and they come to a conclusion: the person was a male or a female.

In years to come, there are going be cases where a person is not properly identified, because they had a change operation, and everyone knows them as a female, but the remains are clearly male. So the Police will be looking for a male victim, but nobody knows of a male missing in that situation.

This will happen, because the biology does not change. 

And this is the point - the biology is true.

The biology is science.

The "identification society" is not true, and it is not science.

Let me put it this way - If I identify as a truck, does that make me a truck?

What if someone genuinely believes they are a truck? Not just me proposing it, but someone out there genuinely believes they are a truck. Are they a truck?

You might say "Well that's stupid. Of course they are not a truck!"

Prove to me they are not a truck. How would you do that?

Would you tell them they don't have wheels like a truck?

Would you tell them they don't have a motor like a truck?

Would you tell them they don't have an 18 speed transmission like a truck?

They could answer you "No, but I feel like a truck!"

How would you answer them?

What if they went and got a set of wheels and attached them to their legs? Would you then concede that they are a truck?

What if they then went and tied a transmission to their back, and carried around a motor? Would you then concede that they are a truck?

If they stood up and yelled loudly and proclaimed that they are a truck because they feel like a truck, and they have added all these different bits to make them look like a truck, would you then concede that they are a truck?

If you did, you would be a fool, because they are not a truck no matter how much they feel like a truck, and no matter what they do to try to make themselves look like a truck.

They are not  truck. It is physically impossible for them to be a truck, no matter how much they want to be, and no matter how much they feel like they are a truck, and no matter how much they change their physical appearance to look like a truck, they are a person, not a truck.

And one day, when that person dies, if years later their remains are dug up for some reason, the archaeologists will not say "Look we have found a truck", they will say "we have found a person".

I know it is a silly example, but the facts remain: there are only two genders, and there are only two sexes.

It doesn't matter what the person feels, their biology is fixed.

They might dress a certain way, but their biology remains as it was since their conception.

They might have surgeries, or take drugs to change the way they look, but their biology remains as it was from the moment of their conception.

What you feel like does not change your biology, and bolting on wheels, a transmission, and carrying around a motor won't change your biology.

The feelings and thoughts are there, but this current societal way of dealing with those feelings and thoughts is not the solution, any more than allowing this mythical truck-man to add trucks bits on. His problem is that the feelings, whilst strong and convincing to him, will never be solved by accepting them as true and changing his appearance. He has to accept the truth that he is not a truck, and change his thoughts and feelings about it. 

Ultimately, science agrees with God: there are only two genders. Anything else is not true.

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
