Comments by "Maksie0" (@Maksie0) on "Traditional vs Trans: Are There More Than 2 Genders? | Middle Ground" video.

  1. Yes, and?
    5
  2. Cis is an adjective. Cis women are women who are cis.
    4
  3. The singular they has been used in the English language for centuries.
    4
  4. You're thinking of sex, not gender.

  5.  @vinayvenkatesh5536  Abnormality is a label we apply to it
    3
  6. Intersex people exist.
    3
  7. You're confusing sex and gender.
    3
  8. So people with bad teeth shouldn't have access to braces? People without functioning legs shouldn't have access to wheelchairs?

  9. Source?

  10. Cis and straight are two different things.
    3
  11.  Scrotey McBoogerballs  So everyone's trans?

  12. Your comment has nothing to do with science.

  13. Objectively incorrect
    3
  14. As real as any other term.

  15.  A M.  It's relevant mainly to the topic of sex. It shows that sex isn't strictly binary.
    2
  16. Gender, which is seperate from biological sex, is about what you identify as. People can identify as something that isn't "man" or "woman". As such, more than two genders exist.
    2
  17. Being trans isn't a mental illness. Gender dysphoria is treated by transitioning.
    2
  18. One joke
    2
  19. Nobody's born a man or a woman though. Everybody's born as an androgynous little baby who is then assigned a gender based on what genitals the doctor can see. Usually correct, but not always.
    2
  20.    Humans generally have two legs, because as you just said, sometimes they don't.
    2
  21.    Most people have two eyes, yes. But not all of them. The one-eyed people are exceptions but they still exist, making an absolute like "humans have two eyes" false.
    2
  22.  @zachman5150  That's an oxymoron. Also, I wasn't asking you.
    2
  23. Cool. Still wrong.
    2
  24. There's not just two sexes. Intersex people exist.
    2
  25. Nobody needs Ben Shapiro anywhere.

  26.  @oldspiceodorblocker3068  Lmao, just imagine fully buying into the "fAcTs DoN't CaRe AbOuT yOuR fEeLiNgS lIbTaRd" meme.
    2
  27.  @oldspiceodorblocker3068  Of course it's a meme. Ben Shapiro is not that smart. He's just a fast talker with media training who picks his debate opponents carefully. He's another far right idea spewer with big money behind him.

  28. Have you ever even seen an episode of Star Trek?

  29. Wait until you find out that things are usually more complicated than what they teach to a highschool freshman.

  30. That's conservatives for ya.

  31. No it isn't.

  32.  @LavaCreeperPeople  Lava, stop trying to make "twittcrap" happen, it's not going to happen.
    2
  33.  @AutumnSkies10  Nah I'm good, I think I'll keep supporting trans people instead of believing in some bizarrely transphobic deity.
    2
  34.  @henriqc9323  Feelings. Trans people are statistically far more likely to be the victim of assault than the perpetrators. This "bathroom issue" was fabricated as an attack on trans people, who have been using the bathroom of the gender they identify as for decades.
    2
  35.  @sshanks9253  Absolutely not, trans people have existed for a long time.
    2
  36. People in the comments really going all out with their casual transphobia huh
    2
  37. Transitioning and being trans are not the same thing.
    2
  38. Sounds a little irrational
    2
  39.  @jadeelaine4208  Objectively false, sorry.
    2
  40. Women can like masculine things. But that doesn't mean trans men don't exist.
    2
  41.  @paragonofgood  You're female. That is your sex. But your gender, the concept of being a woman, was made up my humans.
    2
  42.  M. A.  The consequences of not supporting your transgender kid are dire.
    2
  43.  M. A.  I never said blindly. The fact of the matter is that trans people suffer a lot more when people in their environment aren't accepting of their gender identity. Whereas accepting them has no "dire consequences" at all, only imaginary consequences in the form of an imaginary fiery torture world.
    2
  44. Incorrect. Not only is gender seperate from sex, intersex people exist.
    2
  45. Nobody's saying you're not a woman, and being cisgender doesn't mean you're not a woman.
    2
  46. It'd be far more annoying to listen to.
    2
  47. This is a very harmful idea that you're promoting.
    1
  48. Incorrect.

  49.  @aliciapinkcotarot  Aren't they? Nobody chooses what race they're born as and nobody chooses what gender identity or sexuality they're born with.

  50.  A M.  I can't speak for others but that's not the point I was trying to make.
    1
  51. It really shouldn't.
    1
  52. Gender is a social construct. It's made up. There's biologically male and female but "men" and "women" are concepts made up by humans.
    1
  53.  @sirgraham7004  Nope!
    1
  54.  @sirgraham7004  You've never heard of transgender men before?
    1
  55.  @chrisf9377  Ohh right right, it's a leftist conspiracy, of course. I forgot that it's always a leftist conspiracy.
    1
  56.  @sirgraham7004  But there's men who are biologically female. So that definition seems either very reductive and simplified or simply not up to date with our contemporary understanding of sex and gender.
    1
  57.  @chrisf9377  The distinction was introduced in the 50s by a sexologist, not by a secret evil group of leftists. This is not a conspiracy but simply the advancement of scientific understanding.

  61. No, they definitely don't mean that.

  64. What do you mean by "scientifically there is only male and female"?
    1
  65. Sex and gender aren't the same thing.
    1
  66. In the case of sports it's a bit more complicated considering puberty does give a certain advantage (which can be largely nullified through hormone therapy or even prevented through hormone blockers), but why does biological sex matter for bathrooms? They're split between men and women, not penises and vaginas. What other people have in their pants isn't any of my business when I'm just taking a piss. It would be far stranger to force bearded trans men to use the women's restroom.
    1
  67.  @jaydenbecker9740  Who the fuck is going to transition just to harass someone in a bathroom though? You know there's no one checking people's gender at the door, right? If a man wants to be in the women's room, he can just go in. This is a complete non-issue.
    1
  68. There's no serious threat, though. The "bathroom issue" is entirely made up. "Think about the children" was used to justify homophobia in the past and now it's used to justify transphobia.
    1
  69.  @wonkjc4211  Oh, I definitely believe that many transphobes genuinely want their kids to be safe from the perceived threat of trans people. But that perceived threat is false. It has been deliberately created by reactionaries who want to stop social progress and return to a world where LGBTQ+ individuals are forced to stay in the closet.
    1
  70.  @OMGUKILLKENNY2  "Disorder" is a subjective label we put on something. Humans generally have two legs but not always.
    1
  71.  @R9naldo  How can there be scientific proof for a social construct?
    1
  72.  @fMONA94  Incorrect.
    1
  73.  @cheetahgaming9689  When it comes to sex, the biological side, intersex people exist who don't fit neatly within the "male" or "female" category. And when it comes to gender, that's a matter of identification, which is by no means limited to a binary.
    1
  74. How's that?
    1
  75. Why wouldn't you refer to a person as "they"? It's perfectly correct grammatically.

  76. Go ahead.

  77. You asked for permission and I gave it

  78.  Jordan P  Gender is a social construct. As such, there's as many as people want there to be.

  79.  @bunnygirl859  You have an obsession with punctuation.
    1
  80. As usual, Alpha, you are objectively wrong.
    1
  81.  Erasto  People are born with certain chromosomal makeups, genitalia, body types, etc. That's what we generally refer to as someone's sex. But the concept of a man or a woman is something that humans made up.

  82. Puberty blockers can be reversed. Going through puberty can't. Doing nothing can cause a great deal of regret.
    1
  83.  @somebodyoncetoldmetheworld5873  I'm not sure what you mean by "after puberty", the blockers prevent puberty from occuring. Either to let the individual have time to figure out their identity, or to start hormone therapy. It can happen that someone decides not to transition, or that someone detransitions. These cases are a small minority, but still. The best we can do is listen to people's wishes and have them talk to a medical professional to figure out a best next step.

  84.  @oldspiceodorblocker3068  I'm by no means an experienced debater so he probably would. That's my point. He "debates" college freshmen in venues where most of the audience is on his side. When he can't control the conversation he whines, like you can see in that BBC interview from a while ago.

  85. What's so funny? Explain it to me, I don't get the joke

  86. Intersex people exist, dummy.

  87. Trans people didn't choose to be trans.

  88. Ben Sharpie is a grifter who shouldn't be quoted on anything.

  89. People like you are the ones who need to listen the most.
    1
  90. Why?
    1
  91.  @Blackish1ntentx  Trans people exist everywhere. The reason you're hearing about it a lot in the US and the UK is because ghoulish conservatives have decided to target them as a minority group to stoke hatred and fear.

  94. You are objectively wrong, and your ideas are harmful.

  95. Why?

  96. A baby?

  97. So if you're not a cis woman, and you're not a person who menstruates, are you a trans woman?

  98. In binary code, you can't use 0.6

  100. I've got great news for you Vormity: hell isn't real!

  101. Nope. Hell is literally a ficticious place. Congratulations! No one gets tortured! Because dead people can't get tortured as they lack functioning brains!
    1
  102. ...why?
    1
  103. I feel like you're mixing up gender and sex. And sex isn't binary either, considering intersex people exist.
    1
  104. Intersex people exist.

  105. Which mental illness is that? Or were you just using it as a snarl word?

  106. Incorrect

  107. But it really doesn't.

  108. Why do you feel the need to bring your religious beliefs into this?

  109.  Erasto  Who checks the genitals of everyone who goes to a public restroom?
    1
  110.  Erasto  You can tell what genitalia someone has just by looking at them? I wouldn't be so sure.
    1
  111.  Jordan P  Chances are you've come across a trans person without knowing it.
    1
  112.  Jordan P  Just because you recognize someone as a man or a woman doesn't mean you know with certainty what's in their pants.
    1
  113.  @Mel-wn9gb  True, transphobes don't have any facts on their side, only their demented ideology.
    1
  114. Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.

  115. So this god supposedly gives people gender dysphoria on purpose? Is he just pointlessly cruel?
    1
  116.  @AutumnSkies10  I'm not being mean to any gods, I'm asking you about what you wrote in your comment. Does this god make trans people and then demand that they not transition because he just likes to see people suffer?
    1
  117.  @AutumnSkies10  There's nothing "wrong" about transitioning, and hell isn't real.
    1
  118.  @AutumnSkies10  And that reason is beause he wants them to suffer? I can't think of any other reason why a being would give people gender dysphoria and then demand that they don't transition. And damn okay, if it says so in a book then it must be true!
    1
  119. The most effective treatment for gender dysphoria is transitioning.
    1
  120.  @MemeMaster-gz7nk  Yeah
    1
  121. If you argue that chromosomes completely and entirely define one's gender then you have to accept that there's more than two genders, because there's more than two types of chromosomal makeup.
    1
  122. Not only did you mix up gender and sex, you forgot that there's a wide range of other possible chromosomal combinations that intersex people are born with. In short, everything you said was wrong.
    1
  123.  @jadeelaine4208  What do you mean there's "no such thing"? Do you not believe in the existence of gender neutral pronouns?
    1
  124. Objectively false.
    1
  125. Do you ask for evidence of someone's chromosomes before accepting their gender? If not, you agree that sex and gender are seperate.
    1
  126. Why?

  127. No one needs Ben Shapiro.

  135.  @asaahal  You're cis

  136.  @asaahal  Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were trans, my mistake.
    1
  137.  @asaahal  Right, you're a cis woman.
    1
  138.  @asaahal  Well which is it? You keep saying you're not cis, so are you trans? It's one or the other. It's like someone who says they're not gay, bi, pan, or any lgbtq+ sexual orientation but refuses the "straight" label.
    1
  139.  @asaahal  The label applies, whether you like it or not. It's obvious that your stubborn refusal to acknowledge this is rooted in blatant transphobia. How sad.
    1
  140.  @asaahal  What's specifically transphobic is your insistence that trans women aren't women and that trans men aren't men. Trans people aren't some mysterious third gender. There's men, women, and nonbinary people. And for example, within the category of men there's cisgender men and transgender men. Both of these exist within the men category.
    1
  141.  @asaahal  Nope, incorrect. Gender and sex aren't the same thing. And transphobia isn't the same thing as a phobia in the general sense, it describes an dislike of or prejudice against trans people.
