Have the states that have done this actually defined what makes a man or a women?

Is it purely anatomy? Hormones? Or hard wired genetics?

Funny question from an anti-science liberal.

Can you answer me? It is a honest question. I cant find anything solid on this.

How do you know what prison to send a criminal to?

How do you know if they go to the men's prison or the women's prison?

How do you know what to sign up for with the olympics, men's gymnastics or women's?

whoisabs i'm not sure
Guess who's back?

You will find that some people are kept of Olympic competition for failure to past sex testing.

Intersex is a complication in many laws.

Im pretty sure that's judged by who you were born as...

And when the doctor makes that choice?

Again is it anatomy? Hormones? Or hard wired genetics? Or something else?

I see this topic has come up again in the states and defining a marriage between a man and a women.

Have the states that have done this actually defined what makes a man or a women?  

Is it purely anatomy? Hormones? Or hard wired genetics?

Are there only two genders or two sex's?

Abs you have anger issues. You need to calm down. Its ok mate, please don't upset yourself. I am just trying to educate myself here.

Are there only two genders or two sex's?

Hm... That's an intersting question. Technically, there are three distinct sexes, male, female, and hermaphrodite. (When it comes to humans, anyway) Hermaphrodites are not common, and normally at birth, one sex will be chosen for that baby to become, and it will undergo surgery to assign that sex. That's not getting into the philosophical debate on which sex post-op transexuals are, though.

As for genders, I suppose there's mainly masculine and feminine. Not sure exactly how transgendered people play into that, that's more of a philosophical debate. Transgendered people identify with gender roles not common of their sex, to put it simply. They can identify as homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, etc. I'm not an expert on that.
