Jesus Christ, woman! Will you stop making the same point over and over and actually read what I said? I am NOT making any sort of point about gender identity. I am not attempting to give you my views on what makes a person male or female. I am making the extremely simple point that ALTHOUGH SEX ORGANS CAN BE 'MALE' OR 'FEMALE' IN ONE SENSE, IT IS NOT THE SAME SENSE IN WHICH ANIMALS ARE 'MALE' OR 'FEMALE'. I am a male. My sex organs, however, are not males. They are 'male sex organs', but that's not to say that they're sex organs that are male. In the same way, to say that something's a fake Picasso is not to say it's a Picasso that is fake (it isn't a Picasso at all). French letters are not letters that are French. 'Male sex organs' just means those sex organs most associated with males, or at the very least it does not indicate that the sex organs themselves are 'male' in the same way that I am male. OK? Do you see what I am saying? I don't give two fucks about the ins and outs of gender identity in people; nor do I have any particular opinions on the subject.
