This is a good teachable moment.
Sex chromosomes are not sexes. They hold the genes that determine our sex development path.
Confusing chromosomes for sexes is like confusing the ingredients of a cake for the cake itself.
Ask yourself why men want to feed babies chemical piss from their nipples. Oh wait, you don't have to. A 'transwoman' journalist in @thestranger already admitted it gives him a boner.
@iluvfrotting@Tommy__Tomcat@naesbian Not necessarily. But the fact still remains that some trans people feeling affirmed when changing sex characteristics confirms that many of them don’t totally see sex and gender as two different things.
I love how transgenders love to say there's absolutely no biological difference between men and women, but then proceed to pay 500K on surgeries to look like the opposite sex.
Bradley Richard Sirvio beat a man to death with a hammer before setting the victim’s house on fire.
A repeat offender, Sirvio has several other convictions that include multiple charges of assault, burglary, and theft.
He was quietly transferred to MCF-Shakopee, Minnesota’s only women’s prison, in November of 2023, after declaring he felt like a woman and started calling himself “Aurora.”
Female inmates have been told to share a shower with Sirvio, despite the convicted killer having had “no surgery whatsoever.”
@iluvfrotting@Tommy__Tomcat@naesbian People feeling better after getting those kinds of surgeries is an admission that gender and sex aren’t completely different things. If these 2 things were completely different, getting surgery wouldn’t make anyone feel better.
why is every conversation about gender like
“gender is a social construct! it’s not real!”
“so how do you identify into something that isn’t even real?”
“well… b-because… UGH SHUT UP TERF!!!!”
@Infin1e@DiscipleOfRho@Kaylavosss This is flat out incorrect I’m not defining sex by chromosomes. Males and females have bodies organized around the production of small or large gametes. This includes those with DSDs like the paper was talking about.
Regardless nothing in here proves that TW are female.
@puppyreverie@stomachkills@Pirroli_@DiscipleOfRho@Kaylavosss It means what it says. It isn’t unclear because you don’t understand. Sex is also defined one way but can be determined in multiple ways, chromosomes, homones and traits. But it the way it is defined is consistent. If you’re confused take a look at this chart.
@LexaCola1@MaryDyerfnxb Sex characteristics don't define sex because they're attributes of sex, not the basis of it. Males with atypical hormones, genitalia, or secondary traits remains male, just as a female would. Traits can vary but sex is the underlying biological category those traits develop from
