[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are conflating gender and sex. [b]Sex is not fluid - it’s biological and unless you are a hermaphrodite, or have a chromosomal abnormality, you are either male or female. [/b]

Sex is not fluid, it's only A or B... well unless you're C or D or E. But still, only ever A or B.

See how even in your own sentence you're contradicting yourself? [/quote]

Sex is complicated, but nowhere near the level of gender. True hermaphrodites are rare, as are people with Klinefelter (XXY) and Swyer (XY female) syndromes. Part of the human makeup for sure, but rare, and having one of these syndromes does not necessarily mean a person born XY will “feel” anything other than female. It might even be a surprise to them to find out at puberty that they lack a uterus. So much of gender is taught, not innate. Trans people are not doing anyone a service by pretending that there are things like female brains and male brains. We are all snowflakes and it’s all ok. [/quote]
