Quote:You're assuming that gender is based solely on hardware. That's understandable, because it's been the standard for millennia. The concept of a person being born into the wrong biological gender is, relatively speaking, a new one, and one that society is slow to accept as legitimate given the generations upon generations of dogma that are interpreted in a roundabout way as somehow condemning someone for believing that they are not who they were born as.

 

Also, let's not forget, actual science changes as we learn and understand more of it. The beliefs of creationism have remained largely unchanged (within their particular theoretical construct) for thousands of years.
