You may think you’re XX or XY, but do you actually know it about yourself—have you been karyotyped? For that matter, on what basis are you sure about this regarding humans as a group? https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/12/6/750/5823304 |
So a penis, vagina and breasts are related to gender, not sex? Is that what you’re saying? |
No. Sorry to disappoint. I’m in NW DC. Probably your neighbor! |
I’m in Montgomery county! Probably close enough in to be their neighbor too! |
NP. Yes. |
And herein lies the problem. A penis, vagina and breasts are not “social constructs”. They are primary sex characteristics. Expressions of XX or XY chromosomes. Actual scientific words with actual scientific meaning. The lack of scientific literacy in this country is ASTOUNDING. |
Exactly. And to clarify, there is no such thing as “gender.” Except I’m language study, of course |
You’re right, the lack of scientific literacy in this country is ASTOUNDING. Breasts are a SECONDARY sex characteristic. |
Helen Joyce made a comment which I think really rings true when it comes to parents of transgender children. These parents will be the ones to fight the hardest against sex based rights, biology and facts because they have allowed irrecoverable changes to their child’s body. They will have to believe they did the right thing for their child for the rest of their lives for their own sanity and for their own self-respect. These parents will dig their heels in and keep this movement going regardless if it destroys single sex spaces or harms other people. |
The fact that there is no literature to support it. |
You are correct. My bad. My point still stands - either primary or secondary, they are both SEX characteristics. |
This is absolutely it. |
The exhaustive search you conducted in the last five minutes persuades you of the state of “the science.” Got it |
Oh and I have not been karyotyped. As far as I know. Why would I need to be? I am female. I am XX. There is zero reason to think otherwise. Can you point me to a study that shows a large number of females are actually not XX? |
Waiting for you to post the literature that does show it. Since you seem to know it exists. |
