I did an entrance exam today. I went in full girlmode and they asked my why my ID had a boy's name when I look like a girl. I told them simply that I am in the middle of a gender transition. He said that's okay then, but he would call his boss to double-check me. She arrived and looked at my ID for like a second and I was cleared. It was really just a formality at this point. Why do you americans live in such a backwards culture that don't know how to deal with transsexuals?

>>2465696 Because some of us think "god" made this country just for us when absolutely NONE of us came from here. The republican puke that is America's jock itch thinks the laws of the bible apply only to those who do not god with them. Yet can't handle when you break god in their face so either bomb your nation or pass hidden laws to make your life illegal. While I too love saying that I live in the greatest nation on Earth, it bothers me that people in other countries whine about it. Why aren't people in other countries saying the same thing? Everyone should say they live in the greatest country on Earth. If they don't think they do then they should work on GTFO. I know it's not easy in most cases but at least try. I hate that we have a separate mathematical system than the rest of the world. I hate that we spend more on defense than any other nations GDP but we also come to the aid of so many other countries when they need. I hate that we try to rule everyone else but in some cases there should be a bully on the playground. No matter what country it is. I mean if we announced tomorrow that we would no longer war with anyone who didn't attack us directly, how long before Iran attacks Isreal? Egypt attacks Syria, Pakistan attacks India, China attacks Mongolia, Russia attacks Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan & Kazakhstan to take back what they think is theirs or because they hate that/those countries that much? I really do wish the world stop butthurting over who believes what or who likes whom but that's not coming for a minimum of another 200 years. There's speculation as to why America is suddenly going to dump upwards of trillions into space. I believe it's because the "white elite" (old rich white republicans) plan on leaving because they see global society slowly becoming tolerant and equal. God forbid blacks and white mix, gays get married or have kids.

Because approx 50% of Americans are religious. Although only about 15-25% really seem to be bigots, most of the religious guys seem to take a "not my business" stance with transpeople. Also you're a huge asshole for not changing your ID. It probably costs fucking less than the girl clothes you were wearing.

>>2465954 I base it on no primates being in north or south America until maybe 10k years ago. I also believe "man" has been wandering this rock for about 150k years in some form above primate. Lastly, as a "whitey" (proof even mexicans are racist), I believe that all of the "humans" that evolved from primates looked like your average black man may have looked that far back. We were all black. I believe something must have happened across central Africa that sent half north and half further south. Those that went south stayed in the constant sun and stayed black. Those that went north discovered harsh winters and had to begin seeking shelter. Lack of sun = lack of needed pigmented skin. This was maybe 120k years ago. Then maybe 80k years ago some from both hemispheres begun traveling toward the equator again. In comes the spainyard from the white half, and the egyptian from the black half. Then as the egyptian started to wander (maybe 40k years ago you start getting middle eastern. in the mean time a seperate portion of the white half was traveling west and becoming asian as well as traveling the island finding Australia where they become aboriginee. then about 10-15k years ago a mini ice age allows asian passage into the americas where the american indian then aztec then south american jungle people's. Then 500 years ago some jackass with a fucking boat goes and fucks everything up.

>>2466067 >male >female Those are sex characteristics. Your name and the clothes you wear are gender characteristics. In the case of OP, his gender characteristics clashed, and some surprise was warranted. >She actually can't change her ID, first she must have SRS, and even then I don't think you can change it everywhere. Name changes are legal in almost every country (not sure about north korea). You could be confusing the name change and the sex indicator, and the sex indicator does change only when you go through SRS, as it should be.

>>2466110 Her changing her name wouldn't change anything, they'd still notice that it says "male" on it, and so they'd create a fuss again. I think airports tells you to dress according to the gender your ID says or something, which is pretty problematic. Also... should all men with gynecomastia have to be stopped and inspected for having inappropriate sex characteristics?

>>2466012 There were primates. Just not humans until 10k years ago when they crossed the land-bridge which is now the Bering straight. And it's not an issue of just being inside more causing white skin. Remember that in order for evolution to work, a trait has to improve teh chances of reproduction. In the north there's simply less direct sunlight (winter has nothing to do with it) which causes vitamin D deficiency which leads to Rickets. Lighter skin is able to produce more vitamin D, so it's an adaptive advantage to be white in northern latitudes. As for darker skin, the current anthropological theory is that because folic acid is broken down by sunlight and folic acid is crucial to child-rearing, people adapted a skin color which is resistant to sunlight. As for why they started moving, it's just because that's what humans do. We don't need a reason to explore. We're explorers by nature.

> Remember that in order for evolution to work, a trait has to improve teh chances of reproduction. lel wrong A trait can be widespread as long as it doesn't lower chances of reproduction. It doesn't have to increase chance of reproduction to spread. Caucasians having light colored skin probably has nothing to do with latitude, and is more of an accidental byproduct of intermixing with neanderthals. This is also why east asians have light skin, although due to a different gene gained from intermixing with a different hominid species.

And you're right that I oversimplified how traits pass on, but in order for a trait to become completely uniform under in such an extremely short amount of time, it can't simply be "this doesn't make us worse off". It has to make us better off.

>Remember that in order for evolution to work, a trait has to improve teh chances of reproduction. It's more complicated than that. Why is male pattern baldness so rampant? It doesn't improve our chance of reproduction. If anything, it actually makes a man seem like a less likely candidate for reproduction. Even if bald men stop reproducing, the gene isn't going away. There are still several people carrying it in a latent sense, and they'll continue to pass it on without any knowledge of its existence. Genes aren't as direct as you seem to think. A person may not exhibit any number of genes they're carrying, but their relatives will somewhere down the line. Then there are traits that occur even less directly, like differences in sexual orientation. We believe this to be related to hormonal conditions during gestation rather than the fetus' own genes. An otherwise "normal" fetus can become gay because gestational conditions incidentally caused it to happen.
