@majorisong98803@KorbinianOpn@Italian347 A bargain that always worked on me growing up was "you can keep playing now and lose it for a week, or turn it off and play again tomorrow." A firm boundary, no unnecessary drama, obvious self-inflicted consequences.
It was pretty damn effective.
@queersing@spokenclaw @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations You need both a sperm and an egg to produce a zygote. 99.99% of humans produce either one or the other. It isn't a made up classification, it is a naturally occurring binary necessary for sexual reproduction.
@queersing@spokenclaw @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations If you are born with XX chromosomes and functioning ovaries, you are inarguably medically/biologically female. If you are born with XY chromosomes and functioning testes, you are inarguably medically/biologically male.
This cannot be changed by any existing means.
@spokenclaw@queersing @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations The overarching theme here is you are born biologically male, biologically female, or in exceedingly rare cases, with a developmental aberration that complicates the matter. However, in all cases, whatever you are born as can not be changed, it is tied to your chromosomes.
@spokenclaw@queersing @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations While people who produce neither gamete exist, they are not any particular sex, they fall into the category of developmental defects. People with ovotestis where both sexual organs are actually functional are exceedingly rare, although they do not necessarily refute the binary.
@queersing@spokenclaw @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations But that time is not here yet. Don't like karyotyping? Try gamete production. There are only two types of gamete, and you are naturally designed to produce one or the other. Which one is what determines your sex. This isn't exactly arguable.
@queersing@spokenclaw @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations Make no mistake, I understand that gender and biological sex are not directly related. My point is that one's biological sex is determined at fertilisation and can not be changed after the fact. After all, there are only two viable gametes, meaning only two true biological sexes.
@spokenclaw@queersing @YourManJCDenton @Almost_April@metalmario77@cnviolations Sorry, missed the part where we're out here changing karyotypes. Sex is directly related to the sex chromosomes in every single human cell.
XX: female
XY: male
Exceptions are extraordinarily rare and recognised as genetic aberrations. Even then their biological sex is genetic.
@DirtyJonny64@clappedsti And why do they design a car closer to Max's driving preference? Because that's where the potential is. Newey is building the fastest car he can, if a car designed around Perez was faster, do you think they wouldn't build it that way?
