The New York Times reports (free registration required) that New York City is considering allowing people born in NYC to change the sex on their birth certificate, even without undergoing sex-change surgery.
Unbelievable, and yet in our postmodern times it is very believable. In a world where a pregnant mother can define whether her unborn baby is valuable and worthy of life, or invaluable and able to be killed, and in a world where morals are defined by each individual, it is not surprising that objective facts of biological reality can be redefined by mere self-determination as well. We are living in very confused times.
Thank you Max for being the first to bring this to my attention.

(I visit). I agree, Jason. It’s sad how biological facts have lost their meaning in today’s society. No matter how much someone else might want to be part of the other gender, you can’t change the fact that people are born a certain gender from the get go.
You know, if people’s opinions have as much strength as biological facts, they might as well wait for children to decide what gender he or she wants to be before marking it on the birth certificate (lol).

C’mon dirk star. You’ve gotta say more than that. If the posts on this blog are “crap,” then say why. Make an intelligent argument, and lets discuss it.
In case the last presidential election has taught you–the Michael Moore method of throwing cheap shots without substance is not very effective. π

Seni,
Dirk Star is obviously a liberal, and as a good liberal he only knows how to emote. He doesn’t know how to present a rational, sustained argument. Don’t be so hard on him!
Jason
