Gender isn't just a matter of what is between your legs and never has been.
I agree to some aspect, but it is the conflating and semantics behind the meaning of the term. In this respect, its about physical attributes of male or female of which there are ONLY two.
Get a grip!

Exactly.
There are two and only two genders.
Male/Female.
That's it.
Period.
And three sexual orientations.
Straight.
Gay.
Bi.
That's it.
Period.
I dunno why we have all this cis/binary gender etc. bullshit for and I have no ****ing idea what it all means.
There are all these newer terms it makes my head spin.
Just simplify gender into one of two and orientation into one of three.

Because the objective reality of biology and psychology are complex and nuanced and unfortunately you have chosen to be uninformed and ignorant. -

I disagree.
Ppl are doing that **** because they do not like the simple labels.
For some odd reason they feel like they have to now label themselves as more complicated things just to impress others and to keep themselves from feeling guilty to be all inclusive since they are bleeding heart liberals or to show how "woke" they are.
Fuck that!
If we are going to label things just keep it simple so that it makes it easier for me to remember.

In other words, it is all about you and your feelings, not objective reality.
Sorry, nature doesn't give one flying **** about what is convenient for you. This not a matter of political or cultural opinion but an objective fact.
Here are the comments from an actual scientist I've been following for years. He's a geneticist who works for 23 and Me:
"Biological sex" is not a meaningful scientific term.
Transphobes use it as a dogwhistle with a wink nudge that "biological" means "real" or "immutable"
Actual biologists understand the complex multifactorial nature of sex and have specific language to reflect that.
"Sex" attempts to summarize many variables into a binary that works for most, but not all, cases. For the practical aspect of doing research, most scientists assume cis bodies and/or actively throw out data points from intersex and trans people. But that nuance still exists.
"Sex assigned at birth" is simply a euphemistic way to say "external genitalia". Doctors aren't karyotyping infants to see their sex chromosomes, nor are they running an MRI on internal organs. They're just looking at one feature.
"Chromosomal sex" refers to how many copies of X and/or Y chromosomes you have. XX and XY are not the only combo - there's X0, XXX, XXY, XYY, chimeras, and more. Sometimes people with XX chromosomes are "assigned" male at birth, and sometimes people with XY chromosomes are "assigned" female at birth.
"Genetic sex" refers to the presence or absence of the SRY gene. This gene kicks off "typical" male development and is most commonly found on the Y chromosome. But sometimes Y chromosomes lack the SRY gene, and other times X chromosomes have a translocated copy.
"Gonadal sex" refers to if you have ovaries or testes. Some people are born with neither, some with both. Some people have internal reproductive organs typically associated with women but male external genitalia, and vice versa.
"Hormonal sex" refers to levels of testosterone and estrogen. All sexes have both hormones present, with wide standard ranges for each sex. Trans people do hormone replacement therapy to change their hormonal sex and induce secondary sex characteristics (beards, breasts).
And last but not least, "mental sex" - what people generally call "gender identity". It's how trans people KNOW their internal sense of gender innately. It's why HRT has the affect of "lifting brainfog" and alleviating anxiety. The brain is an organ, too.
So next time a transphobe asks you about "biological sex," ask them what they mean: Genetics? Internal organs? External organs? Hormones? Neurology? And why are supposed feminists so focused on reducing people to their genitals and how they reproduce?
The money quote in my book, and the thing ignorant transphobic rubes most need to understand, is that
The brain is an organ, too. -

So is "gender" objective reality or not moronpole? First you're saying it is, then your saying it isn't and is psychologically abstract, (which to the "woke" it is), and then you say it is again.
Get a grip man!

If anybody, and I do mean anybody, comes at me with any of that garbage and is like, "I am not a female. I am a loopadoopa bobbilty guck guck zippa zappa because that is my identity and I expect you to call me by that."
I will respond that is bullshit and she is a female and to shut the **** up with all that complicated biology brainwashing woke nonsense.
Which is all it is.
I don't get it why there is all this PC garbage of gender id all of a sudden.
Why can't these retards just be happy and accepting they are male or female?
Now there is something wrong with that?
I am a man and always have been and will be and am proud of it!
If anyone tries to throw and stick any of those dumb labels onto me I will not accept it.

Its all distraction algorithms, in a desperate attempt to brainwash those with tinfoil hats that pick up the corrupted establishment frequencies.
None of it is important in the larger scheme of things, but we are supposed to believe that it is and because MSM says so, it must be true. Anything else is misinformation.
I will respect ones pronouns, but it doesn't mean I have to see the mentally disordered Transgender person as the "real" thing. That is why they are known as Trans and nothing will ever change that.
Norman! What did you put in my tea? -
WarrenPeace — 4 years ago(February 21, 2022 04:28 AM)
That is all bullshit.
It is real simple and easy.
You got a dick.
You are male.
A pussy.
You are female.
Mic drop and case closed.

You have a point.
Science is not one of my interests or things that I can get into and understand.
Doesn't mean I am stupid.
We all have our talents, interests and are different with what we dig.
We were all fine and dandy with keeping it simple and easy to understand with just boy and girl for many millennia.
Now this woke bullshit comes along with even more labels?
Forget it.
I am not going to humor someone who is going to identify with stuff I can't remember and keep straight with all those different meanings and definitions.
Just keep it simple to remember and understand.
What the hell is so hard about that?
Science is concepts anyway.
So those who apply all these new terms are just making it all up.

Being scientifically illiterate is excusable. Being a bigot against trans people is not, under any circumstances. Is it really going to kill you to be respectful of them and use the pronouns they identify by? Really? -
WarrenPeace — 4 years ago(February 21, 2022 06:07 PM)
I was mostly thinking of all those complicated terms like cis and binary etc.
Like those ones that I have seen on OK Cupid.
I can't keep all those straight or remember what they all mean.
A M to F is still a male since he cannot ever get pregnant, never had ovaries, periods and those chromosomes that make her a female.
Now who is recognizing science or biology?
I really doubt that I will encounter too many trannies since I don't have many daily interactions or sometimes even none at all.
Especially now with the Chink Virus. I reduce my risk of catching it.
Not like I am going to go and seek those tranny things out.
As long as those things stay away from me it is all good and they need to get out of and to stay away from competing against women in sports.

Not accepting a Trans person as a "genuine" entity of the sex they choose to define as is NOT bigotry. It is common sense fact.
It is respectful to refer to a Trans by their desired pronoun and how they wish to be represented in the eyes of others, but it can't be accepted to be understood by those that know there are 2 genders in terms of biology and what nature indicates in terms of this.
MagneticMoronpole who defies facts and common sense logic to virtue signal his toxic distortions and delusions.
Norman! What did you put in my tea? -
ToastedCheese — 4 years ago(February 21, 2022 02:44 AM)
Yes, for humans it is either male or female biology. Born with a dork or a huhu. Anomalies don't count. They are congenital.
The rest comes down to construct of what gender is supposed to represent. The need to physically change something that can't be changed is where the mental illness lies.
I don't specifically see BI as a sexual orientation, unless perhaps one is having sex at the same time with one of each gender. Otherwise the person is either engaging in either homo or hetero sexual liaisons. Majority of people will only have one partner.

Seems like there is an increase of more and more who are mistaken at fooling themselves into thinking they are born of the wrong sex.
Either the "woke" media is exposing this more or for some reason we have more sick in the head morons who somehow think this is OK or both.
Whatever it is needs to stop and these idiots need to get the psychiatric help they need before it is too late and they regret the change.
The one and main thing EVERYONE should agree on though is that it is wrong for a man who pretends to be a woman to be able to compete against other women in their sport since he can and will beat them.
These assholes KNOW EXACTLY what they are doing and that needs to stop.
Right. Now.
