What is it with conservatives and this "there are only two sexes" nonsense... Are they trying to convince us they arent any smarter than a grade schooler or something. Anyone who has had more than an elementary school education knows full well its not that simple...

@freemo it is that simple unless you list deformities and birth defects. I was ok with separating gender and sex but now this shit is getting ridiculous.

@a7 @freemo i mean i liked where they were going with this but then they all fucked it up and started demanding random pronouns and validation from normal people. i still don't necessarily hate gender-retarded people, i certainly hate the ones on the internet.

@yarra

Pronouns are about gender, not sex, not even related to what is being discussed. I do agree the pronoun stuff is obnoxious and can mostly be ignored. But a few people acting rediculous really doesnt change the established science behind the spectrum of sexes that exist naturally.

@a7

@freemo @a7 i don't know the established science behind it. i would love to read about it tho. you can link me some books if you want. also i prefer books that aren't written by pedophiles. Pat Califia disgusts me.

@yarra

Its an entire medical disciplin but sure, there are tons of books, after i eat my lunch ill link you a whole host of papers ont he various variations.

@a7

@freemo @yarra show me asexual reproduction of humans. Show me a self impregnating hermaphrodite.

@a7

What are you on about? There are a handful of cases but not sure what point your getting at.. You trying to argue if someone is infertile or if their chromosomes dont line up with their genitals then they dont have a sex or some nonsense? Your making no sense.

@yarra

@freemo @yarra sending out the virtue signal commissioner Gordon we need the xxyxyyman-er human !

@a7 @freemo @yarra
I don't know if anyone needs to hear this but klinfelter syndrome isn't its own sex, it's a set of symptoms occurring in males. XYY syndrome is likewise a genetic condition occurring in males. XY gonadal dysgenesis on the other hand is a genetic condition that occurs in females. There is no third sex and freemo is a fucking retard.

@Agni

kleinfelter syndrom is considered to be part of the intersex spectrum. In other words, they have some qualities of males, others of females.

I never claimed there was a third sex either, so clearly your reading skills are as excellent as your biology skills. Intersex does not imply that there are more than 2 sexes, it implies that sex is a spectrum and they can and do fall anywhere on that spectrum from female, to ambiguous/both, to male.

@yarra @a7

@freemo @yarra @a7

>it implies that sex is a spectrum

This is a moronic political interpretation of genetic anomalies serving a very narrow non-scientific purpose. By this loose interpretation all biological life occurs "on a spectrum" and defies any categorization whatsoever. What is a "human being" really? If you'd like I can bookmark the thread and come back once I have my medical degree in hand to tell you again that you're fucking retarded.

@Agni

Yes all biological life exists on a spectrum, that is true, and hardly nonsense, its the scientific norm.

No it doesnt defy categorization, because scientists are smart people and are more than capable of categorizing things even when they exist on a spectrum.. in fact its not even tricky, when something is mostly on one side of the spectrum that is the label we use, whent hey are we call them intersexed.. boom, categorized, no problems at all... No different than we do with humans if your arent so ignorant to cause issue over it.
