Quite the stretch. Ok, I give up: if it is demonstrable that a given person has traveled near the speed of light and thus aged significantly differently than the rest of us, that person should be allowed to legally change their age.

That's happened zero times thus far, so I stand by my original argument.

Physics is quite a stretch and yet denying biology isn’t... This is an anti-science, ideological stance.

>Physics is quite a stretch and yet denying biology isn’t... Who's talking about biology? Go look up the definition of "gender". We can debate the specifics and current state of affairs, but you can't argue with the definition.

The definition of gender, stated multiple times in this thread as if it were a hard truth (i.e. a social construct), is purely ideological.
