    I will only tolerate that term if we can use the following notation:

    For a person pre-op we can call them [Na]-1 [me]
    For a person post-op they are [Na]-2 [me]

    Because if you're going to use organic and biochemical terms you'd better stick with them the whole way.

    and I hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of people haven't switched their naughty bits for those of the opposite sex, so yeah, that would really make them average, or the norm.

    I am not saying that people who have switched their naughty bits are "abnormal" it's just that they have done something most people do not.


    I am severely allergic to codeine and some foods. Most people are not. Most people have an average reaction they are the norm. I am not "abnormal" in that respect, I am different.

    I am not comparing it. I am defining terms for you, the terms "average" "norm" and "normal" to highlight that just because a person does not have traits that match the majorty it does not make them "abnormal"

    and actually, on a biological level, it is about as complex.
    Nobody has a fucking clue what is going on in the world of immunobiology, and for some, it is a death sentence.
    At least your naughty bits aren't trying to destroy your tender insides ever day.

    teefs was saying that immunology is not as complex as gender issues.
    My counter to that is that NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS what is going on with either, so they are equally mysterious and complex, in their own special abnormalities.

    you can say that no-one knows much about immunobiology, and thus effectively refute the claim that gender is more complex, but it doesn't follow that it is as complex
