    TLDR version: there are 2 sexes but here’s some extra CYA bullshit since the majority of academia is a bunch of liberal whiners and will act like faggots if we don’t change the text and we would really rather keep making money from book sales

    At least, that’s how I’m reading it 😝

      Well then I don’t know what you read, as the correct TLDR is:

      Sex is not as simple as male or female. It is determined by a combination of genetic, biochemical, physiological, and anatomical factors. The traditional binary view of sex is being challenged as we discover more complexities. Some people may have variations in the number of sex chromosomes or be born with intermediate sexual characteristics. Additionally, some individuals may have anatomical features that do not align with their gender identity. Research is ongoing in this field to gain a deeper understanding of sex determination.

        Vast majority of humans fit nicely in male or female. Any deviation from that is a genetic mistake/anomaly. Plastics in the mother’s diet has been shown to somewhat feminize men. And perhaps for the rest of their life. Distance from butt hole to balls shrinks, penis shrinks, balls shrinks and perhaps (we don’t know for sure yet) their minds are more feminine. They are still men though. Just men who were born out of polluted sludge. Intersex people are an extremely small percentage of the population and everyone has empathy for them. Because they are effectively broken. That isn’t the usual trans furry lecturing gender on reddit/Lemmy though. Bless their hearts.

        Thats all nice and dandy but the doctor still has to know if you are a dude or a chick at birth so they can actually help you.

        If you want to play pretend gender with the other weirdos you should go do that dont get me wrong. I think its hilarious that grown men chop off their dick to appease randoms online.

        You know what studies you should look up btw? Correlations between autism and transgender.

          Pretty sure for a majority of medical issues, you don’t need to target specific gender. But if that is the case (not to mention that argument is a total red herring), following your own logic, wouldn’t better understanding of one’s characteristic in terms of gender help with assessing medical procedures?

          If you find it hilarious that “men chop off their dick”, then I suppose suit yourself. To me, it honestly does not matter - as it does not affect me in any way. If you can’t look past other people’s plumbing, then I feel putty for you.

          As for correlation, I’d like to mention that correlation does not necessarily mean causation.

            Damn removed so many words and saying so little.

            As for correlation, I’d like to mention that correlation does not necessarily mean causation.

            And? Because the reasoning might be false it doesnt mean the conclusion is either.

          Good point. Then again, if they stopped there, they’d just be eunuchs and I don’t anybody would really dislike them that much.

          It’s the adding a “bonus hole”, the hormones, larping as women, and most especially trying to be dishonest about the whole thing and pushing their bullshit onto others.

          I think if they just wanted to openly be ladyboys but didn’t try to get into women’s sports/bathrooms/etc, push their pronoun propaganda, try to deceptively pass themselves off as women, or push sex topics into kids’ educations, then they probably wouldn’t piss off nearly so many people.

          For the most part, we just don’t really have these kinds of problems with gays, lesbos, or bi’s. Some of them can be a bit annoying sometimes, but that’s not all that different than any other group.

          Trains tho…
