Blog 8

We watched a podcast today about the first "male" who became pregnant. Thomas was born a girl, but felt that he associated with the more male side of life. His actions and personality were more manly and therefore, he changed legally to become a male. He then became pregnant by injecting an anonymous sperm donation to get pregnant. He is male except for his reproductive organs which are female.

Now, what are my opinions?

Firstly, I believe that everyone is entitled to think what they want. If someone wants to give an opinion that is extremely liberal then they are entitled to it just as someone who is conservative is entitled to his or her opinion equally.

Secondly, I believe that unless you were born a hermaphrodite, you are either male or female.

Thirdly, I believe that no matter what one does to change their physical appearance, you are always going to be what you were born into.

Fourthly, I believe that someone who thinks they are a man when they were born a woman is definately not a man if a) they dont produce sperm and b) they still keep the female reproductive parts.

Now some might disagree but arent i entitled to my opinions?

  1. Definitely entitled to your opinions. So you believe gender is completely nature and there are no environmental factors affecting your development as a male or female?

  2. Yes. However, nowadays it is very hard to differentiate between the two because so much of our culture is based on the idea that you become what you are raised as. I agree that there is much that you have to learn from society such as language, vocabulary, education and much, but I believe that what you are born is what you truly are
