Russell Brand says he will let his daughter decide her own gender

[AgnesIO]

Ridiculous.

Vagina = girl, penis = boy.

What about people with both

What about people with both

That's a bit like me saying "humans can walk", and then someone responding "what if they are paralysed".

Extreme health circumstances can obviously change situations. Font people with both get one removed anyway? Id probably go down to the "do they have all the parts to have a baby"?

[despect]

i'm always surprised at how many people have strong feelings on this either way

am i the only one who actually does not care what ppl do or don't want to identify as please say i'm not the only one

You aren't the only one, be whoever you want to be. If it makes you happy then who is anyone to judge, That's simply how I see it.

No it isn't because "able to walk" isn't part of the definition of human the rarity of intersex people doesn't mean they don't exist

Being intersex is a health problem, though, surely? It isn't "normal", it's an anomaly that isn't supposed to occur.

[FlyingJesus]

Oh yeah definitely it's a medical anomaly but it still happens just saying that that doesn't fit with the rigid definitions you put out earlier, and sex/gender (as with most things) isn't entirely black and white, especially if you differentiate between the definition of sex and definition of gender, which to be frank most people don't but would solve a lot of problems
