I think this discussion has been going really swell..  I have answered every left field question you proposed.  I am a bit confused though..  you have been banging the drum for the argument of choice and ignored the biological explanation..  then you start throwing around genetic ambiguity...  If you could kindly respond to the questions I highlighted in red on my last post regarding XXY and XYY babies and why you reject the biological explanation it sure would make it easier for me to want to continue this dialogue.

 

I never said that I reject a biological explanation for the inherent urge desire etc.  I said that as conscious beings we are not beholden to our biology.  I also gave several examples of people who exhibit other inherent desires or urges that we as a society don't prop up on a pedestal.  

 

I can also draw a fundamental difference between someone who is born with distinct chromosomal anomalies or deformed genitalia and someone who is genetically normal and presents a body integrity issue that leads them to believe that their body just feels wrong.  It would be like the difference between our blind lady and someone who in fact was born with something wrong with their eyes.  

 

There is a difference between someone having three chromosomes and a decision was made by their parents against the way their body actually developed during puberty and someone who has a general personality complex that just doesn't like the way they were born to begin with.  

 

What i do reject is the premise that the way you are born is inherently good right and upstanding.  If i were born with a deformed hand i would want a healthy hand, not make a cult around my deformity.  If someone has 20% more connectors between the hemispheres of their brains and that leads them to a more emotional experience in life then that doesn't make you a woman and the solution isn't to put on a dress.
