If I get to pick my gender, why don't I get to pick everything else? (I'm not from the US, so this whole thing is new to me.)?

Nope. You don't get to pick gender.m, or race, or species.

People are discovering their genders and choosing from available words to describe their experience.

"If I get to pick my gender"

False premise.

Nobody, not even transsexual people, choose their gender.

Most people are born with a gender identity in their brain that matches the sex of their body, transsexual people are not. That's what transsexualism is, a birth condition. This leads to a life of pain and misery as their body feels profoundly wrong and nobody ever sees them as the person they truly are. Transsexual people transition (aka "sex change") to affirm their inborn gender identity by changing their body to match and assuming a gender appropriate role in society.

Transsexualism is a scientifically proven birth condition.

yes. you are anything you call yourself or wish to be. you can be a magnolia bush or tractor trailer, if you so choose. in our politically correct society, labels, nouns and language no longer carry any meaning. that is, of course, unless you voice opposition to the liberal agenda. then you're labelled a racist.

what does o the mention feel like? as you don't know you cant really experience them

Oh no, as a white dude you are limited to gender identification roles, not race. White gets in trouble for playing black.

Sounds like you have yet to pick your sexual preference. My advise to you? Try them all. See what you like best and are the most comfortable with. And do that-----A LOT.

I am confused, how can a baby lesbian black dolphin use the internet?

Exactly! You get to be what ever you wish to be as long as you say those magic words......................I identify as.
