It Is About Gender…

Editor:

I find it odd that so many people in the anti-LGBTQ audience suddenly like to evoke modern science when it comes to biology. All of a sudden, science is real to these folks and one has to adhere by what was biologically assigned to you at birth and so on and so forth. But many of these same people are the ones who decry Charles Darwin and Darwinism, the ones who deny climate change is real, the ones who believe that global warming does not exist. Funny, that only one portion of science (biology) is correct. The rest of modern science throw out the window! These same folks seem to be preoccupied with ‘’sex’’ and ‘’body parts’’ and the like. Guess that’s part of their devotion to true and correct biology, which of course is their favourite subject in the world when applied to LGBTQ people. Fact of the matter is, transgender is not about biology or body parts. It is about GENDER and for which gender one identifies and feels comfortable presenting as. Most transgender people never even undergo sexual reassignment surgery. Many do not take hormones. So you need to know what you are talking about before you criticise someone.
