This position is further predicated on the view that human beings are born as "blank slates", in other words, empty little brains with no predetermined tendencies of any kind, including gender, personality, cognitive ability etc. Lengthy tomes have been written completely discrediting this idiotic notion using empirical scientific data - of particularly relevance is the important work on twin studies by Robert Plomin. Steven Pinker's 2002 book "The Blank Slate gives an excellent overview of the nature vs nurture debate. Despite unequivocal evidence the blank slate notion persists on the left side of politics because so many of their deeply held ideological and utopian visions depend on it. It is a fascinating example of the mind control that leftist ideology, even in the face of so much clear evidence, can bring to bear on weak minds. Gender fluidity is just the latest and most extreme incarnation of this irrationality.khrusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205236386273808326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-63594008957666575772019-08-13T10:27:48.247+12:002019-08-13T10:27:48.247+12:00It's all nuts!It's all nuts!Hilary Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240590567749247083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-60830576822140577672019-08-10T11:58:18.938+12:002019-08-10T11:58:18.938+12:00This whole notion that a person can change their g...This whole notion that a person can change their gender is a falsehood.<br />Take the weightlifter for example:- born male. DNA in every cell is male. Grows up a male, male muscles, male bones, male organs. MALE.<br />Decides to "change gender". Sorry can't do ! Can't change male DNA in all body cells. Can only take hormones or chemicals and maybe have surgery to modify genitalia, but ...... STILL IS MALE.Doug Longmirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008729336442910333noreply@blogger.com
