Quote:So how is "identity" created?  Could it be from "feelings" or "belief"?  What science proves identity?

 

I brought up the creationism vs. evolution argument because the left always cites "proven science" vs. "belief" in that argument.  Is this not the same argument with different parameters?

 

What about anatomy?  Is gender not proven by the science of anatomy?  Would gender "identity" not be considered a "belief" or a "feeling"?

 

So which way is it?  Hard science or belief?

 

 

I think the exact same stance was taken years ago regarding gay/lesbian folk.

 

I get the feeling you have never had this conversation with someone living it. Here is the difference. Ask them about themselves and their response is with conviction "this is who I am". Ask someone who believes in creationism and their response is, with conviction "this is what I believe". There is literally nothing for them to believe because it is just who they are. The only belief taking place here is your belief that it's just a belief on their part.

 

That right there is the difference.
