Vatican Says Gender Change and Surrogacy Are Threats to Human Dignity

[slightlv]

10. There is so much wrong with this statement!

On so many levels!!! No one considers those children for whom gender is not completely apparent at birth. So, a man (usually) assigns the gender. There is so much variability within the parameters of human that no one takes into account. And besides, AFAIC, it should be the choice of the person living within that skin. Only they knows what they feel. I do wish someone would come out and ask one of these CIS dudes if they always knew they wanted to date women... if they always felt like a boy when they were growing up. In fact, did they even think of anything at all... or was it just always "the way it seemed." I know they'd look at you like you're an idiot, not understanding what you were saying. Definitely not understanding that is not the way it is for all people... nor, even, for all animals in the animal kingdom. They're just too dumb and stubborn to put themselves in someone else's shoes for a few minutes.
