Is Gender Identity a Personal Choice or a Biological Reality?

[Menaka]

Some argue gender is socially constructed, while others believe it is determined by biology. Should gender identity be entirely self-defined, or are there objective limits? How should society approach gender in legal and cultural contexts?

There are only 2 genders. Biology rules! You cannot get away from the fact that there is a gender born with a vagina and a gender born with a penis. I don't believe science discovered any other sex organs in a human as of yet. So you are one or the other. Now I fully believe that society has cultured this idea of transgenderism. It never existed in previous generations and I don't think it was because it was just hidden away. I just do not think it existed anywhere to the degree that it does now.

The elephant in the room is all the chemicals in the food. It's tough saying what people are becoming with them, so I can't make strong judgements about gays etc..

Well, what do you say about someone born with both vagina and penis? lol

Gender is complex—both social and biological factors matter. Society should respect identity while balancing cultural norms and legal considerations fairly.

I am still thinking about the whole thing. There is definitely something inside what we eat and the environment that makes people exhibit certain attitudes not affliated to their gender.

Well, they did studies where they increased testosterone in gay men, but it just made them like the same sex even more.

What then is causing the sexual preference?

But myself, I know certain foods, make me want women more by increasing testosterone and other things.
