You mean like ; the chicken pie 'supplement ' ? Colonel Sanders unique recipe of herbs and spices along with coca cola's secret ingredients were all unlocked by DNA testing and chemical analysis a long time ago. You can find DNA in coca cola ? WOW .... to think something that dissolve coins can also preserve DNA . I would expect to find ingredients that shrink the human penis while enlarging the human ego in there somewhere. I have to say I have never received spam adverts for products to shrink the human penis ! Edited December 2 by Nungali Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mummy : " What ! How did you see that ? " LG " I was out in the garden playing and heard a funny noise so I looked through the window ." M " Oh ... er ummmm , I see ... well, you know how Daddy has that big belly from drinking all that beer ? I was jumping up and down on it to force it back in and make it smaller . " LG " Oh, I see, but Mummy , I dont think that is going to work ." M; " Why not Darling ?"

Sir Darius the Clairvoyent Posted December 11 @Maddie, do you believe that gender dysphoria (that’s the correct term, no), is determined by genetics, upbringing or both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a good question and honestly science does not know why, just like with many other functions of the mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ye that makes sense, as close to no children are encouraged to act against what’s expected to them based on biological gender. On the other hand, I can think of two things that might influence it. One being parents who sees their children acting in against what is considered proper, like a boy wanting to wear a dress for instance, and then jumping to the conclusion that he must be trans, but maybe he just wanted to have a little fun? Another being that trans is, sorry to say it, kind of «in» these days. Like, the concept was unknown for me during my first years. Then I saw a trans win the Eurovision as well as the trans thing at the Olympic sermony. And celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner for instance. I think that might have had an influence in some instances.

Sir Darius the Clairvoyent Posted December 11 Also I have heard that due to various environmental factors, many children have either increased or decreased levels of estrogen and testosterone than what is expected? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most trans people that I know (myself included) have the exact opposite experience with their parents telling them that they are confused or its just a phase. I hear people say its trendy these days, but this is a misunderstanding as there is a LOT of bigotry against trans people and I've never known a trans person that said they would have chosen it. 15 minutes ago, Sir Darius the Clairvoyent said: Also I have heard that due to various environmental factors, many children have either increased or decreased levels of estrogen and testosterone than what is expected? This is not based on any science. In almost every case of hrt therapy in mtf trans people it is necessary to not only put the individual on estrogen because it is much too low, but also testosterone blockers because it is much too high. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bhathen Posted December 11 From the writings of Saint Agasthiar (about 2000 years ago), during the time of conception if the father has more breathing in the left nostrils, the child turns out to be a girl; right nostril turns out to be a boy and equal breathing in both nostrils leads to a trans child. Shouldn't we have 3 genders and why do we keep sticking to 2 genders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shouldn't we have 3 genders and why do we keep sticking to 2 genders? This is a common misunderstanding of the difference between sex and gender. Sex has to do with the physical reproductive organs. Gender is both a societal and mental construct. When saying "we" keep sticking to two genders, its important to clarify who is the "we" that we speak of. Many cultures have more than two genders.

Maddie Posted December 11 4 minutes ago, Sir Darius the Clairvoyent said: Do you know when the concept of gender entered the west tho? I don’t. I was able to find this.... I discovered that the term “gender” was first used in medicine in the 1950s when clinicians introduced a new concept of sex, claiming that experiences rather than biology shape much of what we identify as masculine and feminine behavior — or as they called it, gender role. https://ls.berkeley.edu/news/author-interview-sandra-eder-how-clinic-made-gender#:~:text=I discovered that the term,they called it%2C gender role. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
