This morning while meditating, I had this question, off the universe, about being born a certain way, and not being able to be anything more then what we are.
A discussion followed.
It was submitted to me that if an argument was being presented to the public that someone was born a certain way, they could not help or change who they were because of it. Wouldn't it stand to reason that everyone would fall under this "condition" about not being able to do anything about it too? Isn't each and every one of us born a certain way?
They also stated that there are certain physical defects that may or may not be changed, however as science progresses these situations are changing, to some degree. People are currently making physical changes to change themselves including sex changes.
In regards to mental programming, we are apt to change easier then a physical change. History has proven the ability of mankind to adapt in many circumstances due to unusual events that force us to change out our programming ... even along with our physical conditioning.
Their argument to me was: if we are all born a certain way, then why should one way be given grace over another? Why should one programming be any less accepting than another's programming. If we are all educated human beings, we should have that ability to reason this conclusion. If one is born a certain way and has no choice in the matter, then we are all born in like manner with no choice in doing anything about it ... no matter the condition of the life or lifestyle.

Correct?
However, if we feel we are capable of being a free willed entity, capable of lifestyle choices, then we cannot use the argument of not being able to make changes. In that regards, we choose to be who we are.
Right?
So ... do we choose or not? If not, then we have no right pointing fingers at others because they were born that way too. If we do choose, then owe up to the lifestyle you chose and remember others are doing likewise.
Which is it?
Their final "strong" advice was: stop verbally and physically beating each other up for what you were born into this world to be and start respecting one another. If everyone has accepted that they have no choice on how they were born or live, then there should be no reason to not be compassionate of another.
Now, that's programming everyone should be born with!
