They told us for so long gender isn't sex, and then somehow it was, as far as this sports issue

Because we can debate all-day about what is a man or a women or non-binary and gender roles etc. But I would say debating what is a male or female is much easier and simply comes down to genetics.

Edit: imagine getting down voted for saying XX chromosomes are female and XY is male haha, I guess we're just ignoring the science of genetics now

Yeah, you get downvoted because we don't waste breath on transphobes. Genetics has already been accepted by actual scientists, rather than by Quora Top Minds as a spectrum.

Read a book, read an article, read something you absolute regress

In case you're too lazy to click a link:

In an additional layer of complexity, the gender with which a person identifies does not always align with the sex they* are assigned at birth, and they may not be wholly male or female. The more we learn about sex and gender, the more these attributes appear to exist on a spectrum.

Nah I think it's because your reply indicates you missed the point.

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Possibly, or maybe your comment wasn't well written enough.

Yes, it does require you think about it a little bit
