There are only two genders. Change my mind.

There are only 2 genders. Is this a serious conversation? Do you people live in fairy tale land?

It seems most folks are falling back on "but mah genetics!".

That has to deal with sex, and even that is not binary. it's *usually* binary, but biology is not exact in how it does things. That's how evolution works in the first place! If you think biology dictates only two sexes, and only two ways of expressing those genes, then your understanding of biology is pretty limited. If you think two sexes dictates there be only two genders, then your understanding of sociology, biology, and neurology are really limited.

If you go by what you learned in highschool, I can understand why there's so much hesitation to accept the fuzziness of human sexuality, sex, and gender (all very different topics of conversation, if related in certain ways). but there's more to it, though.

This is bat shit crazy. What has the world come to too.

Fairly sure that referring to someone by name wouldn't go against that law (no matter how stupid that law is) as their name is not a pronoun.

I guess thats one way to avoid it. The fact that’s it’s around it’s going to be subject to abuse.

And there is this other ridiculous case I was actually laughing at how ridiculous it was, about a trans person.

Someone went to an all girl school. Marked they were a girl in the application. But identified as “masculine of center gender queer.” Took on a male name Timmothy. Ran for a leadership position. But many people were against it because she was now a he and part of the white male oppressive patriarchy and a problem to society.

I wonder what goes on in people’s minds when this stuff happens. How dumb can you be?

And how about hermaphrodites?

Ther eare only 2 genders, and 2 sexes scientifically speaking. Anyone here that says otherwise is a delusional libtard.

I think you need to actually explore the distinction between gender and sex, and see what the scientific literature has to say about the distinction between the two. They're not the same. And there's definitely no need for name calling.

If I want to have sex with a cat, it makes me a human who wants sex with a cat, not a cat.

That's not what Kheartz meant by Sex and Gender...

I'm sorry but that statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Please explain to me how sex and gender differ.

I'm saying when he mentioned sex and gender, he wasn't referencing sexuality and gender. I'm not going to bother arguing with someone who honestly doesn't seem open to different opinions though. Sorry.

Literally takes 2 seconds to google that question and find various answers

Thats the thing, someone who is factual/logical comes off as hateful nowadays.

There was never any hate involved, I love all people. But a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy, we breathe oxygen, earth revolves around the sun etc etc.

I didn't say you seem hateful, you just don't seem open to a change in opinion, and therefore I'm not going to waste my time trying to do something that I can't.

When I look at wikipedia, gender differences is a heavily researched topic with a broad view. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender#Biological_factors_and_views and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_humans. But you can savely say that sex is what you are biologically; gender is what you become socially. But nature f*cks things up sometimes, causing stuff like hermaphrodites and homosexuals. And there is nothing we can do about it. Except soften the pain by giving some a hormones, removing one of the two genitals and accepting those people in society.

Further more, I also as a society we should stop discussing these topics? Looking at the complexity of this topic. I sincerely think we should leave it to researchers and a medical and psychological panel to come with names.

That's fair enough.

Sex is your body.
Gender is your mind.

We don't know how often they tie up, because some people are generally unwilling to discuss this & they may have repressed their non binary tendencies anyway.

The idea of intelligent design is crazy when you consider what happens in nature, so IMO it's down to the individual what they identify as.

Liberals don't like logic. They go by feeling. They say science is their god, but when confronted with facts and not the junk science they rely on they then turn on science. Tolerance is a common phrase, but they only tolerate people who believe in what they believe. Anyone else is a bigot (that's the best they can do is repeat the same offensive attack over and over again). Liberals have had control of our classrooms for 20 years so it's no wonder kids are confused about simple things such as male/female. Do these kids ever look into who is writing their text books or do they just blindly follow without asking questions?

Apparently all science based conclusions are wrong if it doesn't match your viewpoints, more hot takes from gbatemp user cots at 11
