Help! I don't know who (what) I am!

      Okay, I've been talking about it for days with others, so here's the two cents on the gender identity crisis that seems to be sweeping the media.  Sensitivity is fine and dandy until it becomes an open door for people to go crazy.  Of all the "one or the other" arguments out there, this is one I certainly agree with.  Male or female.....period.  Its an anatomical fact and that should be all it's identifying.  You want to switch it later...knock yourself out.  That's choice, not biology.  Sure, someone is going to throw the hermaphrodite argument out there and I wont even bite.  That's one of those exceptions to the rule to a certain degree, but then again....chromosomally, they can still be labeled in some sense and I really don't care which in cases like that.  But for everyone else.....you were pretty much born with one set of something-something or the other.  What you do later, should you choose (and it is a choice) to make changes is simply semantics at that point.  Biologically, you were born as one or the other...Period.  

     People are spending so much time focusing on the PC elements of interaction in society that common sense has essentially flown out the window.  Here's the deal....I don't care what you want to identify as, but if you choose something that is either not obvious or is simply an exercise in theoretical futility, don't get mad when I use the wrong pronoun.  I'm not a mind-reader and I don't have the time for the drama of your invented feelings and sensitivities.  Its no worse than a man with a higher voice going through a drive through restaurant and being called ma'am before they seem him at the window.  It's going to happen and getting all upset over someone not knowing your gender, or your "gender-identify preference" is just asinine.  It's not a hate crime to be genuinely mistaken and fueling more issues of sensitivity requirements just puts everyone on some edge about even being allowed to be themselves.  How about my feelings?  I'm offended constantly by the level of stupidity people will stoop to for attention or their proverbial 15 minutes of fame.  The world doesn't owe you anything and forcing your feelings on others amounts to intellectual abuse.  

      Just a thought and I'm sure I'll have more to say as I really mull this one over more...  :)
