As usual, Shapiro gives an unpopular truth. Serena Williams' direct quote:
“For me, men’s tennis and women’s tennis are completely, almost, two separate sports... If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it’s true. It’s a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it’s just a different game. I love to play women’s tennis. I only want to play girls, because I don’t want to be embarrassed.”

@TomCL-vb6xc It would be interesting to see how the suicide rates change (or if they do, significantly) depending on where these people live. After all, if your theory is correct, we should be seeing far less suicidality among trans people living in, say, L.A. than most other parts of the country.
But at the end of the day, this is the world we're living in and raising our children in. If the suicide rate was "only" twice as high in trans people, and if I felt confident that it was mostly because people were bullying them, etc., I'd still be discouraging my son from thinking that because he feels a certain way that dispenses with the sex he is.
And I completely reject the idea of "gender", if we're defining it simply as "what you feel/identify as". For starters, how does anyone at all even know what it means to feel like a man vs. a woman? And secondly, this is obviously a slippery slope worth mocking. If we can't appeal to science or observation on the subject of gender, on what basis can we appeal to them on any other subject (e.g., my race, age, or financial status)?

@twittyplayzvideos2742 "i think those are actual genders. Not personality traits."
Well if you actually read their definitions though, it's pretty clear that the only thing defining some of them are singular, very specific personality traits (e.g., "anxiegender - a gender affected by anxiety" or "corugender - a gender affected by flashbacks"). So you can call them "genders", but the point is that it doesn't take much for something to be called a gender.
"But again, gender is not determined by sex."
For use of the word "gender" to be coherent, it seems like it has to be synonymous with biological sex. But that's what I'm trying to see, if you can make sense of your worldview at all.
"And again, sex is not DETERMINED by genitals."
Obviously not. But it is determined by your chromosomal makeup which, 99% of the time, is reflected in your genitalia and secondary sex characteristics.
"But he can change his gender to be a woman."
Meaning, he can start identifying as one. Yes, obviously. I can identify as a toaster too, doesn't mean that I am one (and I can also call you a toasterphobe if you dare disagree with me that my gender of "toaster" isn't every bit as valid as these other "genders").
"A child is not a gender, neither is an adult."
See, this is the first hurdle you need to clear. If things like what's on that list can be considered a "gender", I don't see how you can argue that "child" and "adult" cannot also be considered genders. Hell, for all we know, such a thing is already on the list somewhere!
"Children dont wear certain clothes etc."
Neither do people with different personality traits, necessarily. If that's how you're defining "gender", we might as well call it synonymous with biological sex after all.
