one in 500 are XXY or XYY.

so the former may be unsex,

the latter more more male and males of course.
No women have a y chromosome though.
yep.

not sure your point though.

you are fast on the trigger!
And I'm not talking about extremely rare conditions. I mean, some people are born with two heads as well. Or no legs. Or 5 noses......

Well then, if that works for you: keep doin' that.
Pretty much. If adapting your language to your audience is too much effort for little-to-no reward - you keep doin' that too.

Where you see needless effort, I see investment. Free speech and free thought - It's how it goes.

one i 500 is far more common than your above examples.

of the one in 500 born as XXY they might objectively be viewed as a-sexual. Ricardo was XXY and viewed himself as a male (can't assume others of XXY view themselves as male though)

of course all XYY are males, more male than me an assumed XY.

No.

But if he thinks he can, then if he had any logic in his head he would have to realize that there would be no such thing as a "woman" anyway. Gender would then be an illusion only and if his male-genderedness is an illusion, so is his potential "womanness." There would be no such thing as either.
I see you are claiming that as proved in other discussion, as predicted, just like Veritas does with the bad argument proving there's no God. To dave anyone the bother of reading that odious thread.... a tiny recap is in order.

Atheists should congratulate you for the argument. It proves that a fork can not change category to be jewellery, a boy cannot change category to be a woman, a chair canot be converted into a table ... and therefore it entails that sinners can not be saved, or vice versa.

So in your vendetta against trannies, you are voluntarily surrendering all the arguments you have made elsewhere about religion being the only possible root of ethics.

Well done, you are a powerhouse of excellent philosophising, a worthy match for Age and Daschund.

Just out of curiousity do you believe it is possible for a woman to become a man as described in the Gospel of Thomas?
(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life."
Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."

Was human agency only involved, you would be absolutely correct. I commend you for that.

Unfortunately for that argument, salvation is from God, the very One who constituted reality in the first place. And while no man can make one thing into another, it is very obvious that God -- assuming such were to exist -- certainly could. He could make the rock spout water, the clouds rain bread, the leprous into healthy, the dead rise and the perishable into the eternal. "Is there anything too hard for God?" the Bible rhetorically asks.

So the question once again comes down to the very simple, "Does God exist?"

Told you in the other thread, I was only in the whole thing to assess a specific argument that was evidently invalid. I still don't give a fuck about this entire subject for the reasons I gave you there.

To briefly recap that... It is entirely moot, there is no objective way to determine how categories should apply because they are shifted by consensus. Skepdick is correct in this matter.

If you won't accept that this is my point of view because you have a feeling in your gut that everything is obvious, and it is always obvious that you are right, and anyone not agreeing with you must be dishonest, that's not an argument.

Beyond that, my available time is now limited again. Mannie used up all that I'm willing to spare doing his tactical forgetting act, with Henry once again running interference to spare his dishonest blushes. You don't deserve more than this from me Henry.

So God can reassign gender then. You could literally pray to be a woman and then if God makes it so, you don't even have to cut your dick off. Gender is now a spritual matter so anyone who asserts that they have the spirit of a woman is a woman for all you kow.

What part of

Is beyond your understanding Henry?

It's not evasion, it's a true answer. You wanted to know what my opinion was, that's it. Quit being a pissy bitch.

Okay.

So I've got you down as believin' gender is fluid, mutable, interchangeable, just a social construct so, yeah, a man can indeed really turn into a woman.
