you have XX-chromosomes and can breed children -> you are a woman..

it's not that complicated.

[Tirannie]

It is, actually. Did you know a person can have a whole array of chromosome arrangements? XXY (Klinefelter's syndrome), XXX (Triple X syndrome), X (Turner syndrome), or XYY syndrome. Not so simple now, is it?

[Janvierireland]

I disagree with people having an operation which changes the appearence of their sex

[Tirannie]

Why?

[splendorical]

Yes it is regulated by nature but your idea of the defining factors are clumsy.

Fertility, sexual function and chromosomes are not defining factors as there are so many variations of these between the 2 sexes.

Transsexuality is an intersex condition and not a choice. Think again. Also you do not speak for the German nation, only your own point of view.

Great Vblog!!!!

it's not really unkind. it makes things clear.

it's not that I disrespect someone between a man and woman, I just like clear definitions.

but maybe here's a culture gap. in germany when we talk about man or woman, we mean primarily the biological function. maybe you think more in social ideas in britain/USA.

most of us think that you can't choose to be a man or a woman, because it's regulated by nature.

hermannkreitmayer, do you mean to say that you are not a woman if you have had to have a hysterectomy? or if you where born infertile?

A man who is infertile ceases to be a man?

Apart from being wrong you are unbelievably unkind. Unkind to yourself as much as anyone else. Surely you are more than a self replicating genetic robot.

[hermannkreitmayer]

sort of.

ok I specify it: a woman defines the possibility to breed.

if you can't breed you are not a fully woman in my eyes.

a man defines by producing sperm and being able to transport it into a woman.

Ooops tried to reply to

hermannkreitmayer down there V and youtube messed it up!

[splendorical]

Are you saying that if you have XX-chromosomes and CAN'T breed you are not a woman?
