View Full Version : nature vs nurture
Vicky 09-14-05, - 12:05 PM Saw that Law and Order SVU episode a while back. Did not know it was based on a true story.
I have a cousin who was 'intersexed' (I think you are calling it). Born with both organs. The doctors told the parents to choose which sex they wanted the child to be. They opted for a son and he grew up to be the prettiest most female guy I know. And he is not homesexual as far as I know. This was years ago though. Hes in his twenties.
Are you saying his Identity is male and his body apperance is female? Or is his gender identity female if his identity is male he is lucky they guessed right. Can you imagine the hell his life would be like if they were wrong???? Having your gender not match your sex is hell I know. Please I would like to meet him talk with him. How was he groing up??
I also heard that what they do now when babies are born with both sexual organs is to check them for womb and ovaries etc. If such organs are present then the child is considered a girl, if not a boy. They also encourage some parents not to remove any organs until the 'sex' manifest itself. (what ever that means)
They are discovering that this is the best way because to many mistakes were made in the past. It took a lot in intersexuals to stand up for this to happen. The even called on IFGE which brought in transgender folk.
Ting-um 09-14-05, - 12:48 PM He was brought up as a girl this was not just told to him one dayYour identity is your identity no matter what is between your legsI did not know they found a gene that made women feminine please post this info. Hormones will make the body feminine during and after puberty and can have a dramatic effect on emotions. But it’s the hormones in the womb that form the identity within the brain. Bruce was not put on hormones until puberty and as I understand he rebelled against being a girl then as well. But it will make a female body like a mans and it also has an effect on t emotions and sex drive.
This thread like the experiment blows the nurture/choice vs nature theory out of the water.
1. Every child questions his/her identity. Parents/teachers solidify the child's identity with a sex organ. If you have children, you would know this. I have two 5 year-olds and they *KNOW* that they are girls not because they play with dolls because they also play with guns and swords, but because of what they were told they had between their legs. This is a case of a child questioning his/her/its identity and the parents failing.
2. Your identity is not your identity. I'm having a *REALLY* hard time resisting calling you stupid. Because this argument has been *DONE TO DEATH*. Its been *PROVEN* over and over and over again, that identity is *LEARNED*. For example, human babies raised by wolves -- behave and act like wolves. *EVERYBODY* has seen this experiment or saw the movie. It is idiocy for the GLBT to even be tolerated any time they bring up this crap. This kid was raised to be a girl but as soon as an identity conflict arose the idiot parents couldn't set him straight.
3. I'm done. I can't tolerate your stupidity anymore.

Uh being raised by wolves when you have nothing else to compare yourself to yes you will act like a wolf.
But Bruce/David had all the other boys around him so he had a comparison.
your opinion hold no ground besides most of the Dr.s believe its nature not nurture. Are they all stupid????
Ting-um 09-14-05, - 10:13 PM Yes, a doctor from the 70s does have limited understanding when most of the breathroughs have only recently been brought to light.
He can't compare himself to other boys if he was raised as a girl now can he??
No. He would compare himself to other girls. And a child cannot and does not comprehend gender roles. Which is why little boys will play with dolls until their father tell them "no, girls play with dolls". The only notion a child would have of gender identity is physical. With lack of evidence -- for example, a *VAGINA* -- then you create a problem.
The fact that you bring up a case from the friggin' 70s when *SO* much has been discovered that pees on your theory of nature over nurture is just ludicrous. And I thought I put you on my ignore list. But to my surprise here you are....and I'm responding like an idiot.
Ting-um 09-14-05, - 10:15 PM By the way...
Being raised by wolves means you *DO* have a comparison. The wolves. You don't look like a wolf when you go to drink at the river and you look at your reflection. But all the other wolves look similar. You have fingers. Wolves don't. You can walk upright.
What *MORE* of a comparison do you need?!?!?!?
Abiskan Moon-Angel 09-15-05, - 06:31 AM as opposed to starting (yet another) thread on this topic, i thought i would point out another small victory for the GLBT world...same sex marriage will be legal in the UK as of Dec...or 'civil partnership' unions, granting them the same legal rights as heterosexual couples. congrats. :cop:
cool, if i was a female i could get some lesbians finally :shaky:

Yeah his identity is male but he looks more like a girl and has been taken for one 'forever'. As a teenager he let his hair grow and it became worse. He does not have breast but he is almost hairless (in the areas men have more hair). He grew up in Eleuthera but he is off to school right now. Don't know if he's planning on coming back.

The comparison come in when he sees with other boys and girls do not by what is between their legs. I can tell you firsthand I did not want to do what all the other boys did I wanted to do what the girls did. Remember I said I can remember this since the 4th grade.

TRAGIC TWINS DOOMED BY CRUEL SEX SWAP
EXCLUSIVE: How doc's bizarre experiment destroyed two boys lives
By Jane Simon
ON MAY 4 this year, 38-year-old handyman David Reimer drove to a supermarket car park, put a shotgun to his head and pulled the trigger.
David put him self in front of the media to prove the Dr.s experiment was a failure. The Dr knew he failed but kept up a lie of success. David came out so others would not have to live with this Drs theory of its nurture not nature.
The Creator appoints man is disappointed.

Ah but no human comparison

He might not be producing, converting or absorbing testosterone. If you know his email send him mine.
Ting-um 09-15-05, - 03:12 PM 1. You don't need a human comparison. There's positive comparison, things that appear alike and negative comparison, things that are dissimilar. If anybody ever gave you a diploma go and have them committed.
2. If the <enter cuss word> was <enter cuss word> 38 <enter cuss word> years <enter cuss word> old, then you stupid <enter cuss word> this <enter cuss word> <enter cuss word> had to have happened way back in the <enter cuss word> seventies.
It says on May 4th a 38 year old man killed himself.
THINK ABOUT IT. IF HE IS 38 YEARS OLD IN 2005, WHEN WAS HE BORN???? 1967!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO WHEN DO YOU THINK A PERSON BORN IN 1967 WAS A LITTLE BOY GOING TO SEE AN IDIOT DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DING!!!
DING!!!
DING!!!
WE HAVE A <enter cuss word> WINNER EVERYONE!!!!
IN THE <enter cuss word> 19 <enter cuss word> 70's.
If you are too stupid to grasp that one simple fact, I feel sorry for members of the GLBT looking to you for support during their trials.
finekameo 09-16-05, - 01:51 AM I sense a little too much hostility in this thread. Delroy, maybe you should just end it now before someone (Mikki) loses their cool and tries to kill someone else (Vicky).
