>>425796 Good job not understanding the point. A person's gender is primarily a psychological construction, it's his sex that's biological. It's not a rare occurance that people are born with the wrong gender for their sex--a male mentality, or even brain, born with two X chromosomes, or a female one in a body with a Y. The ultimate decision becomes one of whether you want to define a person as male or female by his sex or by his gender, and in this era, where surgery can change a person's biology so drastically, it makes more sense, at least to me, and to the APA, to define them according to their gender. Because, really: how long do you honestly think it will be before we have the technology to change a person's biology to the point where even their base DNA code is altered? Fifty years? A hundred? It'll happen, and I wouldn't be surprised if I saw it happen in my lifetime, provided I live to die of old age.
