  1. Really hope you're joking.

  2. Your answer: Wrong.

  3. The facts and science would be on the trans side though.
    5
  4. Yeah no...science disagrees.
    5
  5. Because thats not scientifically or factually correct.

  6.  @PaganMinn  Gender is a sociological concept. It has nothing to do with biology. At one point in history, all infants were referred to as "girls", regardless of their genitalia or phenotypical expression. No, gender and sex have never been the same thing. Sex is biological. Gender is sociological. And as far as just male or just female, that isn't true either. Intersex people exist. As do those with mutations. The definition of gender has never been changed. Its always been sociological in nature. Gender is determined by your brain chemistry, because your brain determines how you see and define yourself. Take your own advice. Facts don't care about your feelings. The facts also do not support you. Gender and sex are not only different but are not binary. They're bimodal.

  7. Keep pretending that only XX and XY exist.

  8.  @adriandejager3594  Gender is a sociological construct. Currently, most people identify as one of four. Male, female and then two type of non-binary: Both or neither.
    3
  9. Uh-huh...lets pretend intersex people don't exist...
    3
  10. Sex and gender have never been the same. There was one point in time when all newborns were "girls" even if biologically they were male. Sex has always been genetics. Gender has always been sociological.
    3
  11. Probably because the Bible is a book full of inaccuracies and is frankly, horrifying if read literally.
    3
  12. Prove a God exists before you make outrageous claims.
    3
  13. So what are intersex people?
    3
  14. Sex and gender are not the same thing. And a transgendered male is a seperate gender from a cisgender male technically speaking.
    3
  15.  @aj-mi4mq  The definition has never changed. Gender has always been a sociological concept. No child is confused. If they feel like a female and have female genitalia and genes (myself for instance) they're not going to suddenly think they're a boy.
    2
  16. Believing in 2 genders doesn't make you right. Keep arguing with science though.
    2
  17.  @Brianna-nc3og  Then you're okay with objectively being wrong. And thats fine.
    2
  18. Gender has has to do with sociology and psychology. Not really biology.
    2
  19. There's not even two sexes. Sex isn't binary either.
    2
  20. You do understand that transgender is not a mental illness, right? You also realize that the majority of the population is mentally ill, right?
    2
  21. You do realize that Klein felters exist? Intersex people exist? Gene mutations exist. Gender has nothing to do with your chromosomes. It has to do with what you socially identify as. Gender is a spectrum.
    2
  22. No, there are 2 sexes. Male and female. Gender is a social construct and, like almost all social constructs, is a spectrum.
    2
  23. Strawmans abound.
    2
  24. Gotta prove there's a God and heaven first. Also no. He didn't make 2 genders.
    2
  25.  @LavaCreeperPeople  Considering gender is a sociological concept, changing is absolutely is possible. Because its not defined biologically. You clearly not only failed biology, but sociology as well.
    2
  26.  @ironelite6914  Gender has always been a social construct. Regardless of what you want to think. At one point in time, every baby was referred to as "girl", regardless of the sex. You won't change facts simply by denying it.
    2
  27.  @joerosales5646  Being transgender is not a mental illness. Gender dysphoria is. And so what? Most of the population is mentally ill.
    2
  28. Yes it does. As does intersex.
    2
  29.  @elainastoll8606  Thats a claim you still haven't proven. Having faith doesn't make you right. Learn the difference between sex and gender.
    2
  30.  @Meg-cc6yc  I think your bigoted
    2
  31.  @ogredz3361  Facts don't care about your feelings
    2
  32. No there isn't. Gender is a spectrum.
    2
  33. So...what about those who have both? This is why gender has more than just phenotypic factors.
    2
  34. Because there are.
    2
  35.  @ready2ryde7  Lol no its not.
    2
  36. While women may have more endorphins in their brain in general, this is not always the case. In medicine, we don't treat "genders" differently. You may need different attention based on your sex, but not gender.
    1
  37.  @aj-mi4mq  The rule doesn't exist. Gender has nothing to with biology. Its a social construct. Rules do not apply in medicine and science.
    1
  38.  @aj-mi4mq  No I speak from scientific fact. Whether you like it or not is on you
    1
  39.  @v.m.4453  Because my brain works like that of a female? Not that hard to understand.
    1
  40.  @aj-mi4mq  The fact is gender is sociological and sex is biological.
    1
  41.  @aj-mi4mq  We don't prove things in science. Science is based on current evidence. No one is changing reality. Gender is a sociological concept. It always has been.
    1
  42. It depends. Typically no, because you are attracted to a person of the opposite gender.
    1
  43. You do realize there are no laws preventing them from doing that anyway right? A man can walk into a woman's bathroom if he so wishes and vice versa. Regardless of gender, people who want to rape will rape.

  44. He never made Adam and Eve, because they literally didn't exist.

  45.  Evan Scammell  Gender has nothing to do with your biology. Intersex people are also often not placed in either category. They are labeled intersex.
    1
  46.  Evan Scammell  I'm aware of that. That's not what your comment implied. Sorry for confusion.
    1
  47.  @cea-jaymales8031  Biology refers to sex. Sociology refers to gender.
    1
  48.  @cea-jaymales8031  So why are you arguing that you can't change your gender?
    1
  49.  @zachman5150  Hate to break this to you, but being transgender is reality. Gender is simply a social construct. I don't see what's so hard about calling someone by their pronouns. That's literally all they're asking.
    1
  50.  @cea-jaymales8031  Either or. why's it bad to demand be respected and called the correct pronoun? How would you feel if I refused to call you by your name simply because I thought you should have a different name? Probably disrespected, as you should be. No difference.
    1
  51.  @cea-jaymales8031  No, it isn't disputable. They socially identify as a gender. You socially identify what your chosen name. Why is it so hard to address them by their chosen pronoun?
    1
  52.  @cea-jaymales8031  Are we honestly arguing "subjective opinion?" That opens up a whole new can of worms. Of course they don't like their sex. Because their sex does not align with how they perceive their life. Its ridiculous how much of a "stink" people like you kick up when it comes to simply being respectful, and calling people what they want to be called. This is a ridiculous argument to have. How hard is it to say he instead of she? How hard is it to say they? You just sound like a child. They're "subjective opinion" is reality.
    1
  53.  @VictoriaLeigh313  It's not difficult to accept that other people disagree with you if that disagreement wasn't literally the disenfranchisement of other human beings. If your personal beliefs conflict with reality and fact, then frankly, your personal beliefs are shitty and should be ignored. If your actions are supressing others who just want to be able to live as normal a life as possible, you should be ashamed. Because you are a shitty person. Personally, I would rather people like that be ignored, as shaming them on social media just brings more attention to their abhorrent behavior. But I also understand why people attack. We tend to be reactionary. It is the same. A name is simply a personal identifier. Same is true of gender. My point was that if I decided I didn't like your name and just renamed you to something I felt was more fitting, you would feel disrespected. As you should. Its the exact same with pronouns. It doesn't matter if it aligns with your belief or not. Give the person the decency to call them what they asked to be called. The fact that this concept is so hard for people is ridiculous.

  54. Yeah no. Thats not how gender works.

  55. I see sombody never took Introductory Psychology...

  56. In the same category as everyone else; an abuser. This applies to all people regardless of gender.
    1
  57.  @lilsaff21  Yes. And so is the other party. Abuse and violence are always wrong, no matter where on the gender spectrum you fall.
    1
  58.  @lilsaff21  Was it in a fight, or are you talking about out of the ring? If you mean in a fight, that is a consenting fight for entertainment, in which both are compensated and sign contracts. I am speaking about violence outside of entertainment.
    1
  59.  @worlore1651  Yes. Because they are. Anxiety, depression and OCD being the most common.
    1
  60.  Erasto  Gender is determined by social constructs. Personally, gender and sex really only "matter" when it comes to relationships.
    1
  61. There are many factors that determine your gender. Estrogen and testosterone are in both males and females. Educate yourself, perhaps.

  62.  Bacon Bandito  I think he meant mentally...
    1
  63.  Bacon Bandito  No. Gender is a social construct. You aren't born a gender. You are born a sex. (Usually).
    1
  64. Yes, there are.

  65. "Let me be a bigoted intolerant asshole and hide behind my religion as a shield to protect my bigotry".
    1
  66. No, there aren't.
    1
  67. There aren't even two sexes. Even sex isn't binary.
    1
  68. Thats sex, not gender. And if you want to be really technical, there aren't two sexes either. You can't be both? What about chomosomal mutations? What about people born with both genatalia?
    1
  69. I'm sorry that you suffer with dysphoria, but if you truly believe there are only 2 genders, you're just objectively wrong. Gender is a social construct, and there are people who do not identify either male or female.
    1
  70.  @kaeceythepanda1564  To argue that gender is not a social construct just makes you wrong. Facts do not care about your feelings. Sex is biological. Of course people Identifying as neither doesn't change their biology. But how about people who have chromosomal mutations such as XXY or XXX or XXYY? Would you classify them as either of the two sexes from a medical perspective? No. Because they do not fall into that catagory. You are free to live how you like but again, facts don't care about your feelings.
    1
  71.  @kaeceythepanda1564  Gender being a social construct is a fact, whether you would like to admit it or not. I would seriously consider taking a high school or college level psychology class. Actually, medically, having a chromosomal abnormality does not make you either sex, something I know first hand in my line of work. They will not list you as either male or female, and will go into specific detail as to what abnormality you have. In life, you decide personally what you identify as. You have no basic understanding of the difference between sex and gender. That is the only thing you are objectively wrong about.

  72. Race is not a social construct. Its a biological one. Gender is a social construct. Sex is biology.
    1
  73. You aren't changing into anything. You just don't identify as either male or female because you don't feel you have the characteristics of either sex.
    1
  74. Well obviously. But this isn't about sex. This is about gender. Without chomosomal augmentation, you can't change your sex.
    1
  75. Except there is.
    1
  76. A person who is non-binary doesn't fell as if they fall into either gender on a consistent basis. She's saying there is more than two genders because there are.
    1
  77. Nothing will change your mind, because you have something called cognitive dissonance. The fact is, there aren't two genders. And whether or not you believe that doesn't really matter.
    1
  78.  BMore  One, that isn't true. And two, what about people who are XXX? XXY? XXYY? Klein felters? We have multiple ways of determining sex. Gametes, Phenotype, Geneotype, Chromosomes. Gender is an entirely social construct. In the early days, every baby was called a "girl". And humans around the world do not acknowledge the typical male and female gender because of culture or tradition. There's a difference between biology and sociology/psychology.
    1
  79.  BMore  No one is twisting the meaning. Just because people agreed they meant the same thing doesn't make it true. Gender has always been a social construct.
    1
  80.  BMore  I would take your own advice. Because you're wrong.
    1
  81.  @MC-ns8gb  Its always worth a shot to try and educate.
    1
  82.  @ironelite6914  I'm not going to do your work for you. You want to know more about the differences between sex and gender? You do your research.
    1
  83. Because you failed psychology and or don't suffer with gender dysphoria. Gender and sex are 2 different things.
    1
  84. You're not born with a gender. Your born with a sex. And even that isn't binary.
    1
  85.  @andressanchez3185  Sex is not binary. Sex is bimodal.
    1
  86. You don't choose your gender any more than you choose your sexuality.
    1
  87. Yes. Yes there are. Take a biology/anatomy/psychology class.
    1
  88. Gender has nothing to do with biology. Gender is a social construct. Sex is biological.
    1
  89. Gender also has nothing to do with what your born with.
    1
  90. Let me educate you. NO THERE AREN'T
    1
  91. There are multiple genders. You can be both, neither, or lean one way or the other. What would you call someone who has a chromosomal mutation?
    1
  92. So what about non-binary people? Their neither male nor female. Some intersex people do not see themselves as either male or female. Gender is, and always will be, a spectrum.
    1
  93. So what about chromosomal abnormalities? XXY? XXYY?
    1
  94.  @codylonker6758  We do not base sex on strictly chromosomes. Chromosomal expression is not binary.
    1
  95. No, there's not.
    1
  96. You do realize that medicine recognizes non-binary as legitimate right?
    1
  97. There are not 2 sexes. Sex is bimodal. Not binary.
