[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on what I learned in biology, surgery and hormone injections can't alter a person's DNA from male to female or vice versa. For humans, sex is determined by the presence of a Y chromosome. Humans with an X and a Y chromosome are male; those with two X chromosomes are female.[/quote]

But apparently biology and facts are mean. [/quote]

What about humans who are XXY?  People with XX male syndrome?  Hermaphrodites?  There are actually all kinds of variation.  For most people, XX = female and XY = male.  But not for everyone.  Saying "biological sex" and "sex assigned at birth" means the same thing for most people.  But for some people, it's not.

And it most certainly does not mean that you can change your sex, as the OP suggests, but which the article never says.  [/quote]

Those people are very rare deviations from the norm. They are rare enough that they are a clear exception and should not be taught as the standard.[/quote]

I don't know what you mean by the standard. No humans are the "standard" The question is whether saying "sex assigned at birth" is meaningful or not. It does not take many for that to be meaningful.  [/quote]

There is a standard for male and for female.

If you do not know this or if you count you own opinion as more true than fact, then your education has failed you.[/quote]

There is also a term sex assigned at birth and it is also meaningful.

I doubt any of the people complaining here go through the FCPS curricula to make sure there are no inconsistencies among any defintions.  I think there are people who want to  make life difficult for people who identify as, live as, and even have the genitals of a person other than their chromosomal sex.  "You have XY chromosomes, you can't go to the girls bathroom, go to the boys bathroom and get beaten up, pervert"  I don't sympathize with that, and I doubt many FFX voters do. [/quote]
