Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither.

@4X879L55yrs5Y
No, gender identity is not real and transexualism is a disease

yes, and the government should do more to protect minorities from discrimination. saying that someone's gender identity or sexuality is against your religious beliefs is ridiculous.

Gender and sex are not the same thing. This issue is not well enough understood for government to act on it. Gender is psychological, sex is biological, gender shouldn't be treated like sex and sex shouldn't be treated like gender.
