Are you the one who was complaining about people being rude? Or saying that you're not yelling? I can't keep y'all straight anymore. Because that word in all caps is totes not yelling or rude.
Nah you got me mixed up with someone else. But I don't care if you report me. Obviously.

This is what is wrong with this world. This is why people are ending their own lives.
Bye now! Hope all of your children's genders match their sex! If not, I hope they have others to support them.
How bout you leave peoples children out of this conversation before it gets REAL UGLY.
How about you take a break. You seem to take all of this incredibly personally and don't seem to be able to temper yourself accordingly. You might need to cool off a little.
And why are you still talking to me? I haven't paid you any attention yet you continue.
I'm guessing it's because you can't back up your BS comments. No biggie.
I just don't understand why, if one knows the difference, would one insist so adamantly that using them interchangeably is okay and refuse to use them in the proper context?
Since my very first comment on this thread (which had no opinions inserted whatsoever) was already met with "OMG I'M LEAVING" I guess I might as well add my actual opinion so that I deserve to be met with such a 'tude.
I do not find Sex and Gender to be interchangeable. Just like I don't find boys and girls to be interchangeable.

Who says stuff like that? "Girl, you wish you could live my life" Bahaha ! Oh yes let me live that life of talking down to others behind a phone or keyboard! Sounds like you got it made. :-q
Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
Nope not at all. I haven't said one thing personal towards anyone. Now excuse me while I go enjoy this delicious baskin Robbins chocolate chip ice cream. Good day. >-
@QueenWaldorf4 you have no clue who I am or what I am about. Don't use assumptions based on what most of the world uses in terminology. You have absolutely no idea, I could be an activist for the LGBT community, or lobby for equal rights, or work with transgender children . Last I checked the words gender or sex are not in any capacity offensive terms in the transgender community. At the birth of my baby and when I get an Anatomy scan I will know the sex that will also be his or her gender until he or she decides otherwise. So this little debate you think your having with me is null!
I literally had to block the same girl you are tagging because of the things she was saying to me on another post. She must love the drama ! And I also don't get the whole sex-gender thing. People make huge deals over the smallest things these days. We all don't have to think alike. But I do think that's really cool ! I wish my hcg levels were taken !
This goes with my prior response. ETA I know she can't see this since she blocked me but I'm just making it clear that she's not as "nice" as she plays.
Ok well, I'm going to finish little discussion on my end. 1. I'm sorry my capital letters were interpreted as yelling, I was trying to over-enunciate so my thought would be clearly understood. I am also sorry I am not savvy in forum typing. I'm more fluent in writing reports and papers withOut abbreviations and tacky gif's. 2. I can share my writing on the topic you would for those that question my integrity on the topic. 3. I am an anorexic catholic stay at home that believes in socialism, equality for all, and Buddhist teachings. I go far beyond tolerance! I embrace and full heartedly except all those living on this planet and beyond. Where my tolerance lacks is gross hateful behavior. I do not believe in anyway I've expressed that Toward the transgender community or otherwise. I still, without doubt, believe that my words expressed here today would be not be offensive in anyway. My peace has been said. I wish you all the best and I just hope that you really evaluate your actions here today as I have done and will continue to do.
I work with at risk transgendered teens and frankly this is a big issue. By stating that gender matches biological sex you are implying that those who do not feel their gender matches their sexual organs are somehow wrong. All that we are asking is that you are careful with your language. I really don't see why this needs to be a huge fight with name calling and shouting so I will ask nicely.
Please do not confuse or misuse gender to mean sex. Sex is biological organs. Gender is a social construct. You will find out the sex of your baby at the anatomy scan, however your child's gender will be something they will determine for him or herself at a later point.
What is wrong with you!!!??????!! Holey moley. I read this entire thread and had nothing to say until you had to take it back to highschool and start with the mean girls memes and then insult what she looks like in her photo??!! What is wrong with this place?! Where's the love?! Who raised some of you!!!???????

Thank you.
So, me asking someone where they get their headband is the problem? Not someone calling me a bitch? Or telling me that I am going to be left with only cats? That's not a problem for you? Seems like you really enjoy the exclamation points as well.....
I see your hanging around love titting @smithers01. I thought you were going to eat your ice cream?

@KristieA I in no way at all implied that I disregard a transgender person's feelings. I 100% use sensitive terminology and understand the significance of it. Biology will determine the sex of my child and until that child reaches an age they can decide I will also choose their gender. So in terms of talking about my unborn baby and children the terms are interchangeable. However if they decide they are gay, straight, transgender, or want to be a sexual I will gladly and proudly stand behind.
honestly I hope that admin comes and closes this thread. this is beyond redonculious both sides of the argument should be ashamed at your behavior. I'm not going to put my two sense in as enough has been said and sadly I know you will continue cause you cant get enough drama and this has turned into which side has the last word thread. please go watch some day time tv Jerry springer for your fix and keep it civil on the board.

But they are not interchangeable. That is what we are saying. By saying that at infancy gender is the same as predetermined biological sex, you are saying that those who do not feel like their sex and gender match later are not normal. This causes a lot of heart ache in the trans community. Please can't you just use the correct terms and not propetuate language that hurts others?

People are explaining that 1) those terms are not actually interchangeable, even if a child is not old enough to express their own gender, and 2) it is hurtful to many members of the transgender community (and their allies) to continue to use said terms interchangeably.
So it seems like you 100% don't use sensitive terminology and 100% don't understand the significance of it.

Lurking lurker here--just wanted to leave this link here for people who are constantly going on and on about how it's just their "opinion" and everyone can say whatever they want because "opinions."

Whoopsieeeee!!! Looks like you weren't successful at this statement. [-X
Insulting someone (calling them a bitch) is not at all on par with trying to educate someone who is obviously ignorant.
This thread makes my heart hurt for any LGBTQ person reading it (and you never know if your fellow BMB posters are on that spectrum).
Hate is never cute. Stay classy y'all.
Finally, an opinion doesn't negate the fact that it can offend, hurt, marginalize & be gross. No one gets a pass just because they are saying, "it's my opinion & we are all allowed them."
Yes, you are allowed an unpopular, bordering-on-hateful opinion. You are also allowed to accept all the flaming you get for it.
