Multiple Genders

I decided to do my blog on the debate at the end of the Multiple Genders video. David Holloway was a pastor, and a strong believer in God. His response for everything was "well the bible states this" or "the bible states that." I'm sorry but the bible does not need to control our lives. It's a great thing to be religious, I don't have anything against that, but when you live your whole life by the way that the bible tells you to, then I see a problem. I don't think there is anything wrong whatsoever with multiple genders. Though I have not experienced anything near that, I can understand that some people just don't feel like their placed in the right body. People can't help that they feel that way, just like I can't help, as a female, that I am physically attracted to males. I was just born that way. I think David Holloway was very very closed-minded and extremely ignorant. I was shocked on his comment on "making healthy bodies deformed," who would say something like that? Especially when that couple (who was thinking about making a baby), was sitting right in front of him! They were probably feeling extremely hurt and offended. I mean, why does it even matter what OTHER people do with their lives? If you don't agree with how someone is or what they do then you don't agree. I don't see why we are so concerned with what other people do. Shouldn't we focus more on more important issues like starving kids in Africa? Or the war going on in Iraq? That's what really matters, isn't it?

I liked the comment when (I believe it was Stephen Wittle) he talked about how plastic surgery is accepted but multiple genders is not. It's funny because it's so true! People can go out and have plastic surgery and change the way the look, because they DON'T LIKE THE WAY THE LOOK, and it is accepted by society. The reason why a multiple gendered person wants to change sexes is for the same reason, they don't like the way they look. So they get plastic surgery, just like heterosexuals, to change the way they look. But of course, even though it is the same procedure, the person who is changing sexes is looked down upon by society while the person who is getting nose jobs and breast implants is accepted.

It makes me sad that people can't be who they truly are and who they want to be. Like I stated before, I've never experienced anything near feeling misplaced in my body but I can sympathize for those who do. Hopefully one day though we will accept people for whom they are and focus on more important issues. With our progression, hopefully it won’t be much longer. The people who are multiple gendered or homosexual just need to keep staying strong, like they’ve been doing their whole life and just wait for our world to change.
