So Ellen made a successful career for years playing the parts of females because that was the identity assigned to her and not the one she chose? To now become Elliot seems less like finding his true identity than the assumption of another role - which is what actors do.
Seriously, transgender activists need better arguments than this.
How was her gender 'assigned' to her.... it wasn't. She was born a female, and now feels that she wants to be a man instead. There is no assigning going on, just the choice of someone's mental state of mind.
The same way DID person etc is affected by the mental state, waiting for a counter to that argument.
I'm not questioning that mental state, but if you accept that people have 'mental' choices, or feelings or whatever that makes them want to be something other than the biological assignment, then its a fallacy to go along with all the 'equality' BS.
Equality is for people who are what they are because of birth and circumstance.
