-'''Immutability''' is the inability of a thing to be changed. For example, it is impossible to change a dog into a cat. Likewise, it is impossible to changes one's [[race]], although with makeup, [[plastic surgery]] etc. it is possible to conceal it or masquerade as a different race.

-There is some debate over whether a "[[sex-change]]" operation is valid as regards whether one's sex is immutable or not.
-There has been much debate over whether [[homosexuality]] is immutable. There is political and legal motivation for claiming it is immutable:  then it can be treated as a "civil right" classification, like race, for the granting of special protection and even [[affirmative action]].  If immutable, one would expect to find "[[gay gene]]", but no such gene has ever been identified.

I didn't show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain. ... Since I look at adult brains, we don't know if the differences I found were there at birth or if they appeared later."<ref name="byrd">Byrd, A. Dean, Shirley E. Cox, and Jeffrey W.
