So recently we have been told that political correctness means that we have to deny women any identity to a specific gender.
It is actually embarrassing to repeat what these MPs have been talking about on national television.
I have also noticed that other women are embarrassed and reluctant to talk about female anatomy on national television.
It is especially embarrassing for women to be addressed by men on such issues.
Who have them the right to do so?
Is this another way perverts are trying to get to discuss the female body?
Whatever happened to modesty?
Indeed some issues in the past were subject to discretion.
I even wonder why on earth anyone in their right mind would thing to discuss a subject.
In fact, the answer is just so obvious.
Why are people wasting their time talking about things that are so obviously not worth it.
There are famines, wars, and people dying and suffering from real oppressions in the world
Why don't they discuss solutions to such problems?
Instead they choose pervy subject's and threaten people with political correctness.
However, if we are not allowed to say that something is as it is it, then is not that oppression?
Are we not having our freedom of speech and individual human rights vilified?
Is it ok to say that an Apple is an Apple?
I think it is obvious to all people of sound mind that there are only two genders.
Most children above the age of five years old are able to understand that there are two genders and can recognise who is a man and who is a woman.
This also indicates that a man and a woman have far more differences that simply their reproductive organs.
Science has taught us since school that these two genders are supposed to come together in order to continue humanity.
Science, experience and logic has never taught or confirmed that a man and a man or a woman and a woman is able to continue humanity.
Men don't have what women have - that makes them men. Women don't have what men have - that is what makes them women.
This is the case according to science, logic and experience.
Has there ever been in third gender born?
I think you know the answer.
There are some rare cases whereby some people are born with the reproductive organs of both genders.
However, such cases are rare.
I therefore wonder what makes some people really dislike their gender and want to change?
Isn't it a bit insulting to other men for a man to choose to change to be a woman?
Can he do so successfully?
There is actually a lot more to being a man or a woman than simply certain areas of anatomy.
In fact, when I was in London I used to spend time trying to recognise who are the real women and who are men trying to appear to be women.
It passed the time in long train journeys.
I noticed that you can recognise that a person is a man sometimes, from their face.
Men in general have a wider and heavier jaw.
Women often have facial features that are softer than a man's
There is sometimes evidence of hair growth or shaving from years ago.
Sometimes a face is simply evident to be a man's face.
At the same time men also have broader shoulders than women and thinner hips.
Women usually have wider hips and a more narrow chest and shoulder area.
In fact, sometimes when a woman crops her hair and wears men's clothes all that is left to identify her is her body shape.
So yes, voice and other apparent differences can be altered by taking drugs
However, if someone stops taking the drugs they will then go back to how they were.
This is the biggest evidence that they can't be fully cured of their gender.
Would it not be better than to help such people to feel better about themselves and proud to be who they really were born as?
Maybe it does not sound so politically correct but in reality such people are actually being made to suffer more by trying to help them to be something they are not.
And being told to be something they are not.
Perhaps what really needs to change is society towards gender.
When I grew up I did not feel happy as a girl and I think many young girls are the same.
We are taught it is better to be a boy
And if you are a girl then at least try to behave like a man.
After all men are intelligent, strong, independent and everything admirable in society.
Girls were seen as weak, meak, silly, emotional, illogical and dependent.
Somehow there was a secret message that we are that way, but we should not be
We should be like a man otherwise we would be oppressed and harmed somehow.
On the other hand, boys were not supposed to be weak, sensitive or cry.
When I was six years old I saw a boy fall from the climbing frame in our school and he began to cry
He just lay on the floor like a baby until the teachers helped in up.
In my small mind I thought that this is not how a man should be and felt that I hated him.
He was like a girl.
When my teachers asked him to help me as a new student in school I ran away from him.
However, I now understand that such ideas are wrong.
When we say that men should not cry or be sensitive we are denying them to be who they are deep down.
We are trying to stop a part of them as a sensitive person.
I believe that people should be helped to be proud and feel accepted according to who they are and not oppressed.
It is wrong to do so, but to help people change their gender is also wrong, since they should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are and feel proud.
Perhaps society has the wrong idea about gender and this is the issue.
Whereas physically a man is obvious and a woman is obvious both men and women actually have personalities, abilities, needs and so forth that may be more similar than we think.
Maybe we should stop seeing sensitive, artistic and caring as specific to women and realise that both genders can share such qualities.
When I was around seven or eight years old I protested to my teacher that I did not like pink colour.
I liked blue.
In fact, since I was a baby my mother has told me that she could see by my eyes that I enjoyed looking at anything blue.
Here was my teacher saying that blue was a boys colour.
Pink was for girls.
When I protested that it was not fair, why must pink be for girls?
Some of us girls like blue.
However, she insisted on this idea.
The problems got worse in high school.
There we once discussed gender differences.
I learned that attributed such intelligence, deep thinking, being logical and so forth were male traits.
This caused problems of identity for me since I knew that I was an intelligent and logical person.
At the same time I was a woman.
Did this mean I was supposed to wear bright pink thrilly dresses and sit laughing about nothing due to lack of logic?
I felt somehow that I was a woman with male qualities.
The only option then was to become a tomboy (if you can't beat them then join them).
It was only when I became Muslim that I actually felt I had a true identity as a woman.
Although people outside claim that Islam oppresses women I don't agree
I only began to feel accepted for who I was when I became a Muslim woman.
Islam recognises that men and women are different, but there is not one gender superior to another.
As a Muslim woman I am free to be a female entirely without any shame or threat of being inferior (except some cultural ideas often from asia)
I had felt a natural modesty, which society tells young women is oppression and wrong. We should not be modest but show off everything.
I found that Islam recognises the females modesty.
At the same time Islam encourages education for both males and females.
In some instances, it seems to be more important for women since a narration says that the best adornment for a woman is education.
So I found that Islam recognises women with their female nature and inclination to modesty while accepting that they can - and should- be educated and intelligent people.
Islam does not have such fixed understanding of gender that says that men must not cry or be sensitive or that women must do so and not be strong.
Gender is different to a personality, temperament or nature of a person and it was that that helped me to feel more comfortable in myself as a woman.
So according to Islam - and I think our common sense - a man can never be fully changed into a woman.
Even if a man takes medication, has operations, changes things and adds things he is still considered a man after all of that.
I don't think the natural inclinations of men can be altered.
What if he stops taking the drug?
Or just resorts to being a man suddenly when around women?
Therefore, in Islamic law he should not be entering ladies toilets, ladies only areas or doing things as a woman.
He cannot marry a man because marriage is for men and women to come together and have children and a family.
Since such a person is really a man he cannot do so.
The only exception is when a person is born with the reproductive organs of both genders and there is nothing that makes them more than another.
According to Islam such a person when old enough can choose, which gender they feel most comfortable being a part of.
However, they have to stay with that one gender and can't be both. They will known as one and have to use women's only glfacilitues etc if they choose to be women
Therefore, we can't really argue the case for political correctness when it goes against science, morality and even the well-being of people and society.
What harm does it do? Someone may ask.
If you have an opinion on this issue please feel free to leave it below, however, I wanted to say the harm that I see from this
1 ). Men - or women - are being encouraged to not accept themselves as they are.
Instead of trying to address underlying issues, that may be from society or upbringing that may be long them feel lost they are encouraged to take drastic measures and have a sex change
2 ) Having a sex change does not make a person entirely the other gender. They are then made into something in between.
Since some people want to return back after some time and since many cross gender people take drugs and so forth I don't think it makes them happy people.
They are then placed into a situation where they will not lead a normal life, have children (because same gender people don't) or have a healthy and normal life and marriage.
3 ) It costs money - for themselves or others to have such operations and procedures.
Then when people change their mind, as they do, will you undo it all for them?
4 ) It involves deception
Yes, parading as a woman when you are a man is actually deceptive.
Many women would not feel comfortable with men using female toilets, changing rooms etc.
They also have the right to know if they are going to marry a real man or a trying to a man woman.
Of course there are major differences and women won't have children with a woman and men won't have with a man.
5 ) It infringes on others rights.
As we mentioned, the case of deception, dating, marriage and so forth.
Not only that but we are now being threatened with political correctness and women are being told they are not the only ones with female organs.
6 ) It contradicts science: science teaches us that there are two genders needed for procreation
7) It does not contribute anything to humanity.
Lets be honest, after taking all the time and trouble to go through these operations and procedures and take medication, time and effort could have put into helping oppressed people and those suffering truly around the world.
Aren't people who are starving, in danger and having their lives threatened or their human rights taken away more important than people with fetushes of various kinds?
Why have we made this a priority?
What is more is that such people will lose out from having their own offspring and this does not lead them contrubuting to the humanity through the gene pool (another evidence that it is not genetic, since such people can't pass on any genes yo continue a new gender).
This post I wrote while not intending to offend anyone, but rather to shed some light on the issue with different perspectives.
I hope that no one takes offense but sees it as food for thought and a useful contribution.
I do however, think that too much emphasis is placed on fetushes, carnal desires and 'preferences,' and I don't understand the priorities of society.
Why can't people find higher priorities and more important issues to discuss?
Whatever people do in their homes is up to them, however, not everyone wants to know about it and discuss it on national television.
