That's not what free will means, you know.

Who said we have freewill?
We can think that we do because we think that the choices we make are entirely up to us.
HOWEVER if a God is all knowing then that God would have to have known before anyone was ever born every choice they would ever make. ALL KNOWING means there is NOTHING this God doesn't know from day one. Anything else means this God is NOT all knowing!
You may think that your decision to ask this question was your choice but that God would have to have known from day one that on this day at this time you would have asked this question and that I would give this answer.
In short if religion is true then life is pointless. We are going through the motions with the outcome locked into what their God knew it would be from before any of this crap began!
And you want to cry about not being able to pick your gender. WAA WAA get a crying towel!

Free will is an illusion used by the religious to justify their god allowing us to make choices but he did not give us free will in the garden of Eden because we could not eat freely from the tree in the midst of the garden. He NEVER gave us free will.

I wanted to be male. Or I was born male and that suited me. Who has free will in the womb? You can't self assemble yourself. That's pretty funny! What sex did you want to be?

Because free will requires consciousness and sex is determined before the brain even starts forming.

Who says that we don't get to choose? Just because you might not remember the choice does not mean that you did not make it at some time.

How would you choose? You haven't been born yet.
