No, really; I didn't make this up. Sex and gender aren't the same thing; sex denotes the physical characteristics, and gender the social behavior. Obvioulsy social behavior is somewhat fluid.

I cannot help you understand if you have no concept of what is right and wrong and it's relationship to the natural and unnatural.
that is too confused a mental state for me to try to help you unravel.
I never asked you to help me, I asked you how you define natural and unnatural. It helps when having a discussion to define one's terms, and I want to know in what sense you are using them before proceding further.

I also am wondering how you make the logical leap between what is natural and what is right. Many 'natural' things are immoral by most standards; for example, the urge to punch someone who insults you is arguably natural, but generally considered wrong to succumb to. I would recommend caution in both determining what is and isn't natural (nature is far more varied than most poeple think), and in assigning value to something based on it being natural or unnatural.

Well, you said you didn't want your tax money spent on it. How else would this use your tax money?
