  • I didn’t say sex was a spectrum

    It helps if you read and comprehend the comment chain to understand what is being discussed before you jump in with ‘I didn’t say that’ when I never claimed you did.

    I don’t see why it’s so hard for you to actually read the comment chain. It is right there. You can re-read it at any time.

    I think I was fairly clear, it is a binary system that has some rare exceptions.

    Saying sex is a binary is saying there are only males and only females.

    In healthy examples of mammals where development has occurred normally this is true.

    This whole ‘its a spectrum’ argument is like saying humans aren’t bipedal, there’s a spectrum because some people are born without legs! It doesn’t make any sense.

    That doesn’t mean that society should refuse to accept, include and support people born without the ability to walk.

    their existence proves that sex isn’t just a binary.

    This argument has always struck me as odd as in virtually every other discussion we would accept that the exception ‘proves the rule’.

    Humans have two hands, except when they don’t due to something impacting fetal development.

    Humans have two kidneys, except when they don’t due to an error in fetal development or as a result of disease or injury.

    There’s diversity to sex that requires a more complicated scheme to account for everybody.

    Or just let the exceptions be exceptions with no social stigma rather than refusing to recognise that the vast majority of humans, and mammals, can be accurately identified as one of two distinct sexes.

    Seriously? Punching down because I pointed out how unscientific claims should not be repeated as if they hold any weight?

    Maybe just accept that they have a belief that doesn’t make sense, since it isn’t hurting anyone.

    No. Treating idiotic claims as if they had any merit because you see them as harmless is dangerous. All misinformation is harmful.

    Unlike the racist

    I know this is super difficult for you to comprehend because of how terminally online you are but I never disputed that Hancock is a racist. That isn’t even an argument that is happening outside of your head.

    I know you’re the most terminally online person on lemmy (and second is a distant place) but get some perspective please. I suggest you touch grass.








  • “Male” and “female” are, biologically speaking, not distinct and mutually exclusive categories in humans.

    They are and you repeating a claim without evidence does nothing.

    Sexual dimorphism is real and artificial means of changing or replicating some parts of sexual dimorphism does not invalidate the underlying biology at play.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism

    Male and female are so indistinguishable that it’s possible to identify them by their pelvis alone.

    It’s a term coined by bigots to misgender trans people

    Unfortunate origins aside male is jot a gender and therefore not misgendering. Biological man is misgendering.

    What do you think will be the outcome of arguing that sex and gender are the same? That’s literally the side of the argument you have chosen.

    Either they’re separate and gender can be changed or they’re the same… and you disagree with trans rights.
