I can't speak for him, but according to Canadas human rights law, you can choose your gender every morning when you wake.
A small minority of people might really choose in the sense that they are whimsical and have nothing better to do. But a more likely case is if you feel like a female in a male body, for instance, how accurate is it to say that you "chose" that situation?
What do you mean 'feel like a female'?

Are you talking about someone's imagining? A man simply cannot know what it feels like to be anyone else - woman or otherwise.

So it sounds like you are describing someone who says they 'feel like a woman', without having any basis for knowing the difference between 'feeling like a woman' and 'feeling like a man who wants to dress and act like a woman'.

So I remain unconvinced that there is anything to this, other than a persons sexual preferences.

What if I think that you are a woman? If a persons brain can change their own gender, why can it not change someone else?

That's the scariest part of it. Slippery slope arguments aren't fashionable, but what happened in Germany in the 30s is a perfect example. Oh that can't happen here. Yes it fucking can.
That's what I keep saying in regard to the alt-right. Ridiculous clowns, the lot of them, but no more ridiculous than many fractious right wingers holding ineffectual meetings in the beer halls of 1919 Germany and keeping tiny detachments wielding truncheons and knuckledusters that did not rise anywhere near the status of militias. Nothing came of it until Hitler seized one of those micro-organisations, the German Workers Party and turned it into the National Socialist German Workers Party and deputised Ernst Röhm to galvanise the pathetic, undisciplined, disorganised, untrained bovver boys into a paramilitary organisation more powerful and more multitudinous than the German army.

But, oh that can't happen here. Yes it fucking can. By the time people realised that attempts to "show them the error of their ways to the best of our ability. Challenge their ideas. Change thought. Provoke change by intelligent debate", it was too fucking late to stop them from taking over by other means.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

What's your basis for thinking that gender is something someone chooses, suggesting that it isn't biologically based?
I didn't say "choose," I said "identify as." Is that the wrong term?

I am using in that post the distinction that I've heard made. Sex and gender are not the same thing, and sex is the biological/genetic bit and gender refers to what one identifies as (whether male, female, other, nonbinary, fluid, and which can change from day to day, depending on the person). Is that wrong? If so, let me know where you think I'm wrong.

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

You are pretending that it won't be enforced, and I'm getting sick of playing along.

Why are laws written? I mean, if not to be enforced?

The laws are sometimes used formally, with enforcement (like when the Human Rights gestapo issues fines or orders to stop saying things) but much more often only the threat of the enforcement is used.

Such as the case with the professor being threatened with dismissal, if he didn't shut up.

They will come. Cite examples of laws which have been written which cannot be enforced.

Or you could stop pretending that THIS law is not for enforcement...

You juxtaposed that against biological. I assumed that meant you consider it a choice. If it's not biological and not a choice, then what exactly is it?

Surely that implies it's a choice?

In any case, L'Emmy has provided some scientific arguments that it's biological. Have you addressed those?

I am a man. However I feel would not - could not change that. It would be as if you scrunched your eyes and wished real hard that you were taller. You wouldn't be.

A ruler would still read 5'8" (or whatever you matured up to) and that feeling you had of 'being taller' wouldn't mean anything outside of your mind.

How do you know you are a man? It's part of your identity (which your cock and balls, small as they are, would contribute to, but I doubt are the sum totality). That's what I mean about "feeling". You just know it is your identity.

The penis. Men have penises (mostly) and women do not.

(plastic, latex or surgically implanted penises don't change a persons sex either)

See my edit. It's doubtful that your genitals are the sum totality of your gender identity. Else how could people with one set of genitals feel that they are the opposite gender? Unless you think transgenderism is a hoax of some sort.
