Oh god I'm so bored hearing about how people identify. I don't care, I'm not interested, just don't talk to me.

No one completely identifies with the stereotypes of their gender.

You're wrong and should educate yourself, this is precisely why we have a billion of them and you can decide what they mean for yourself

That's why my identity as givemeyourmoneygender is valid and is capable of encapsulating my entire self

That's why my identity as givemeyourmoneygender

Unless banks allow you access to my saving's account, they are violating your rights! Trans mymoney is yourmoney!

I identify as a billionaire!! This means that every single person reading this needs to send me ALL their money, RIGHT NOW!!

Please don't invalidate my identity! Please don't be a bigot! Don't make me cry!

I'm transfinancial, and I'm going to stay that way. Because I identify as a billionaire 24/7/365/6, all day every day.

The "perfectly" really got me. They are so malicious about it.

By this metric, "cis" people would be the 0.2%.

They always think it’s some “gotcha!!” when they mention other chromosome combos, but if you have a Y (regardless of how many Xs there might be) you’re technically a male, as far as I know! And there’s nobody out there producing something that’s kind of between a sperm and an egg - you’re capable/potentially capable of making either one or the other. This whole spectrum thing they keep pushing is so utterly ridiculous.

To my understanding you’re basically right, but it goes slightly more specific than that—you’re male if you have an expressed SR-Y (“sex-determining region”) gene, which is supposed to be located on the Y chromosome in humans (mammals). When expressed, it creates the SRY protein which is the instigating transcription factor for male structural development.

If the SR gene is misplaced, you can be an XX male (or XXX… onwards if that’s biologically valid). If the gene is nonfunctional, you can be an XY female, although IIRC lacking the genes from the missing arm of the Y chromosome makes that configuration much rarer and crippling to life.

Wow TIL, thank you! This is so interesting and I had no idea

They always have to try and claim butches are some special gender category. They’re not. They know they’re women unless they’re one of the unfortunate ones who gets transed as a child. Stop trying to drag them into your cult.

biological sex and gender identity are two different things

K

biological sex is related to the anatomy of a person

K

gender identity relates to how someone feels internally

K. What is that feeling, however?

others might identify as transgender if their gender identity does not match their biological sex

Why would a gender identity ever match someone's biological sex?

they may identify as transexual if they choose to modify their anatomy and/or appearance to match their gender identity

Why would they change their physical anatomy to match their gender identity

I dunno, are you sure biological sex and gender identity are NOT two different things? 🤔

Chromosomes are not binary?? ffs You either have a Y chromosome or you don't. You either have a functioning SRY gene or you don't. There are exactly two types of gamete and no intermediate gamete so trying to claim physiology is a spectrum is bullshit. Cosmetic changes, whether caused by hormones or surgery never changed anybody's sex and sex is the only thing that matters in a single-sex space.

If you managed to make a scientific breakthrough akin to disproving gravity that proves without a shadow of a doubt our understanding of sexual reproduction is incorrect, it still doesn't prove gender exists.

It reminds me of the evolution denialists trying to disprove carbon dating. Okay, but that doesn't mean the Earth is 2000 years old and everything poofed into existence as is.

6-7000 was what I heard. 2000 since the male deity's son allegedly had a bad weekend no one asked him for and then demanded we all worship him for it.

Wtf did I just read, and wtf does "scienceupfirst" even mean?? Y'all are on the level of scientologists, and I mean that genuinely. The same delusions of reality and science.

nomenarewomenOctober 28, 2024

yep. it's a cult.
