Re: Gender identity and discrimination. Basically I agree with Thomas Morse that some religions aggravate discrimination and it is wrong to do so. However, I would raise an issue regarding the clarity of how it is determined that "you is or you aint" in any given category. As with cataloguing any trait (religious belief, interest in fishing, or even sexual identification) characteristics are seldom YES or NO. Rather, reality presents a wide continuum of incremental differences - which might even change over time for one individual.

Apparatus at birth can be misleading. Shifts in sexual orientation might possibly be genetic, hormonal, medical, or even arising from educational or philosophical changes. Perhaps there are actually lesser or greater variations of bi-sexuality which permeate all human beings, but which are currently not measured. Humans travel the world and have extensive genetic mixing - as different from the more closed populations of other animals. (continued next post)
