"Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?
  • It's both. Phenotyping sex is the common method of determining it because it's really easy and it's accurate enough in 99% of cases.

    Sexing through genotyping is 100% accurate, but it's time consuming, comparatively expensive, and only relevant in a tiny handful of cases.

  • I somehow just saw this. Thank you for setting the bar at a new low for stupidest comment I've ever seen.

    Nevermind, my block list must have been reset. You're the walrus dipshit that's been saying absurdly ignorant things across the whole thread.

    Transgender is the preferred nomenclature. It replaced transexual in common parlance you fucking dimwit.

  • I was speaking figuratively when I said all babies are swaddled. You decided to chime in with an irrelevant AkShEwAlLy, so claiming I'm too ignorant to participate in the conversation is very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I accept you lack the capacity as a person to admit you were wrong and concede, so instead I bid you good day and hope that someday someone better than you will inspire you to become better yourself.

  • Is this some type of competition to see who can know the least about biology? Because you're definitely acting like it's a competition to know the least about biology. I think the walrus is still edging you out slightly. Maybe up your game a bit.

    We do have a unique gender for everyone, we just don't have words for each specific position on the spectrum because it's so variable. That's why we have umbrella terms like nonbinary or gender fluid.

    Sex is binary. It is "enshrined in biology". There are exactly two sexes. Female (x only) and male (x and y). The doctor classifies your phenotypic sex (what genitalia you have) at birth because it's the same as your genotypic sex (whether you have a y chromosome) 99.99% (before you waste your time claiming it's AkShEwAlLy 99.98%, Google hyperbole) of the time. You can be a genotype male and present as a phenotype female. Your sex in this case is male, but your doctor would have filled out your birth certificate as female.

    You just do not have any idea what you are talking about about but seem unwilling to let that stop you. It's that simple.

  • You're confusing sex and gender. Sex is a function of biology. It is binary. There are two sexes, and which sex you are is wholly determined by presence or absence of a y chromosome.

    Gender is a social construct.

    This is the entire reason that the term transgender is used now instead of transsexual.

    Also, your whole analogy is shit. The concept of money didn't spring into existence because people already had coins. The coins spring forth from the concept of money. By your logic, we only have genitals because society got together and decided that we should all have a sex.

    That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard in my life, and Ive read several tweets from Donald Trump.

  • Society does not create sex. Society creates gender. Gender is a social construct. Sex is an expression of your sex chromosomes. The genitalia you have at birth weren't decided upon arbitrarily by everyone in the room, they're a direct consequence of whether you have or lack a y chromosome.
