So there’s a lot of stigma against intersexed individuals. If they are born ambiguously sexed, we hypothesize that they will have horrible lives, so our esteemed medical professionals, depending on the length of the genitalia, either perform a clitorectomy if the clitoris is deemed abnormally big or castrate and cut off the penis, the assumption being that a child who has been mutilated and surgically altered will have a better life than a boy with a “micropenis”.
Anyway. I would think that if someone has been discriminated against, they would be sensitive to and empathize with others who are victims as well. Shouldn’t all hijabis etc be very tolerant to homosexuals and transsexuals?
Hermaphroditism is a congenital disorder where the child born can have both (46XX-female) and (46XY-male) chromosomes, and, therefore, develops both male and female reproductive organs. (Study shows that marriage between close relatives ups the risk of this disease). Proven medical condition.
Transexualism is a condition where the genitalia and seondary sexual characterstics are of one sex, but gender identity is of the other. Once corrected (sex reassignment therapy), most transexuals act like heterosexual people (i.e., engage in heterosexual sex -- no aberration). The configuration is assumed to be psychological in nature.
Homosexuality is an sexual aberration. There hasn't been any scientifc theory to prove that homosexuality has any medical basis. The configuration is assumed to be psychological in nature.
I think hijabis should empathisize with the people belonging to the first two categories, but not the third one. If someone wishes to indulge in the deviant ritual of bestiality (like homosexuality, not gene has been found yet) and then wants acceptance amongst the chaste hijabis, just because he is being discriminated against, do you think he truly deserves it?
Roman, dont get your toga in a bunch; Me and L_D have one of those kinky sisterly relationships. She knows i wasnt really looking for a link.
I guess my point was there isnt any **proven, wideley accepted **scientific or medical basis for homosexuality, pedophila or necrophilia. I am sure research was done in this area, but they are merely conjectures and hypotheses.
Define tolerance, if it is defined as ‘Live and let live’ then by all means hijabi’s , and humans in general should be tolerant of homosexuals and transexuals, because as such as are no one has the right to impose law on others save for those in position of power.
If tolerance is defined as ‘should I be ok with Gay and Transexualism’ then the answer is no. A Hijabi , or any muslim for that matter should know and obey the rules , regulations and code of conduct set by Allah. And as such that way of life does not regard homosexuality and transexuality in the highest of regards (to put it mildly). Since islam is very against such acts and lifestyle, therefore a muslim (and therefore a hijabi) must not be ok with it, and must not encourage such life styles.
