... when I'm drawn into a debate over alternative views regarding gender identity, I ask the narrow-minded bigots this question:
Do you know why men have nipples?
It's not a non sequitur. ALL humans, indeed, all mammals, are FEMALE at conception. The Y chromosome does not manifest itself until later in the gestation period. A fetus undergoes myriad changes during its development, and they can all occur in infinitely variable timelines, and in tune with the equally variable developments of other organs, including the brain. Ah, yes, the BRAIN! That is where the sense of self resides, and within the development of those synapses also lies the sense of gender identity.
So, to keep this short, people are literally born gay every day. And a narrow-minded bigot's imaginary Sky Daddy has nothing to do with any of it.
Moral of the story for narrow-minded bigots: Mind your own fuckin' business.

For the record, I'm a 79-year-old straight, married guy, but I loves me some good ol' rock hard science to rub narrow-minded bigots' noses in! So there.
