Gaslighting women and girls into believing that they are somehow bigots for believing in very very basic biology is just evil.
Gaslighting women and girls into believing that they are somehow bigots for believing in very very basic biology is just evil.
Except that as soon as you get to intermediate biology you learn that it's never that simple and even biological sex has never existed as a binary. Then you get to basic sociology and psych and learn how gender and sex are not the same thing. The hard science is very much on the side of trans people
You're confusing trans propaganda with biology. The "hard science" is with evolutionary biologists like Richard Dawkins. It's because of garbage that you are posting that the fascist Trump was elected.
Dawkins is a hack. Intersex people very clearly exist and gender has never had anything to do with biology. Trump won in the US because of ignorant bigots like you, not the people like me push back against him at every turn.
You're confusing rightist propaganda with biology. Dawkins is a cunt who should have quietly slipped into retirement following publication of The Selfish Gene.
No. Dawkins is reality. Humans can't change sex. As a gay autistic atheist Dawkins helped me get through some really dark times in my life.
Dawkins is a hack. Strangely enough, I also happen to be queer, autistic and an atheist and I can confidently say you have been led astray and taught to hate your own people. I only hope someday you figure that out.
Also using the hateful Q slur isn't going to win you any intelligence or acceptance points...
Knowing firsthand how detrimental autism can be to one's life and wanting to prevent future generations from having to suffer from such a severely debilitating defect somehow makes me a bad person. Yea, no, there's simply zero logic to that line of thinking.
Autism is who we are, not a disease to be cured. We suffer because the world isn't built for us and the solution is to improve society. Society needs to be healed not us. The only way they could ever cure us would be to kill us. THAT is the inevitable conclusion you're championing.
I love that you assume "your own people" applies to autism and not queer people.
Also yes, I was referring to both autistic people and 2SLGBTQIA+ people by "your own people"
You know that Dawkins is homophobic and anti-autist, right?
THANK YOU!!! Finally another honest, real leftist on this app.
I am a leftist, you are a traitor who got tricked by right wing grifters who are against everything we stand for. Don't call yourself a leftist when you champion oppression.
The only one oppressing anyone here is you...
Really? What about trans women? You know full well you're oppressing them, you just think they deserve it. I'm not oppressing bigots, I'm defending the right of trans people to exist. There's a difference.
You're championing the oppression of women and girls. I'm simply stating facts. You don't think that women deserve basic human dignity. When you say a male can be a woman, you're denying the fact that women are their own biological class of human being. You're stripping them of their humanity.
It's literally the opposite. YOU are championing the oppression of transwomen and transgirls. I am simply stating facts, you have only parroted misinformation. Male/Female is biological, Man/Woman is social. The two have no bearing on eachother. "Women" are a social class not a biological one.
The sciences aren't about flattering or oppressing anyone. "Woman" is a social class and not a biological one - absolute nonsense. Trans activists need to figure out a way that trans people can live fulfilling lives without trying to force this ideological crap on everyone. It will never succeed.
Woman has only ever been a social class. That's the science. I'm sorry you find it so hard to understand.
You have completely lost touch with reality with that one.
Saying males can be women is oppressing women.
No, saying transwomen aren't women is oppressing women.
You're also assuming that everyone believes in gender. Unless you can define it, I don't believe in it. I asked you hours ago to define gender and what one's gender is based on, you still haven't been able to do something that should be basic for you.
I'm not on bluesky 24 hours a day. I responded with those definitions as soon as I saw your questions.
Ok, I'll bite. So according to your logic, we should be basing ANYTHING involving PHYSICAL BEINGS, such as sports and changing rooms we should base on sex, because it's the biological,and thus the physical side of the equation...
What? It should be based on gender not sex, cause it's sports not rights. Sports are for fun. Within gender/age/wheight/etc there are different advantages and disadvantages for everyone anyway. Like Phelps' wing span or Shaq's height. If it were up to me I wouldn't segregate sports by gender at all.
Women didn't fight for over half a century to gain their own sporting leagues just to have them destroyed because a few narcissistic, mentally ill people think it's ok to force others to deal with their personal struggles.
It's based on sex because of the biological differences between MALE and FEMALE physiology.
You're not a leftist. You're a rightist wearing a mask. True leftists defend the rights of all human beings. You do not.

This. Bigots always say "basic biology" because that's the most advanced level they're able to understand.
I just had a mental image of them denying algebra exists because "you don't use letters in math, DUH!"
youtu.be/zfIRTqs45sU?...
Of course, it's a video by a college professor that "resigned" due to "ideological differences" talking about trans people again. It goes in the pile with the rest of the filth the rest of the scientific community dumps.
Define gender. What do you base gender identity on?
Numerous internal biological and psychological factors determine whether someone is trans. There's no binary switch someone can look at to determine their gender, similarly to sexuality. Transgender people have existed since ancient times, despite our understanding of transgenderism being recent.
So define gender then...
Gender is an identity, it's a feeling you feel. It's who you are and how you identify. No one can tell you your gender but you. It's not unlike sexuality in that way.
Which is actually transexualism, because gender isn't real.
So you agree that it's a medical/mental health condition.
I would argue it's the opposite. The mind itself is perfectly healthy, it's the body that needs correcting. Most people that transition state being happier with their bodies and don't regret the decision. For their mental health we shouldn't shun them for seeking the treatments they need.
I think it's time to cut your losses and just let them go be wrong in the corner by themselves. Some fights just aren't worth the hassle.
Just like with sexuality, someone isn't a liar because they say they prefer one gender over the other. Deepening our understanding of the LGBT community can only do good.
Kid, I know far more about the LGB community and the struggles we went through to gain our acceptance than you ever will as long as you deny scientific reality. A huge factor in gays being accepted in the first place was the FACT that human sexuality is based on sex. You uneducated homophobic dolt.
LGBT* community.
Clearly not, since you're trying to put the SAME community through the same struggles using some Fox News bullshit.
Human sexual attraction is based on SEX.
Human sexual attraction is based on GENDER EXPRESSION.
This article has been debunked time and time again. No human is born aware of the concept of gender. As people say, it's a social construct, something people aren't aware of until they are at an age where socialization becomes more a part of their lives.
If you recognize that it's a social concept then why are you so opposed to it not lining up with physical characteristics? That makes no sense.
Woman is a biological term. A scientific term. Woman: adult human female
Female is a biological term. Woman is a sociological term. They often overlap in the same individuals but are entirely separate from eachother.
I'm male, I don't identify as a man or a male, it's just a truth about me. Transwomen are men, human males. That is simply just a truth about them. Transmen are women, human females. That is simply just a truth about them.
You can say it's true as often as you like, that doesn't change the facts. You are a human male who IDENTIFIES as a man. Being a male isn't what makes you a man, you just are. THAT is the simple truth. Transwomen are women and transmen are men. Just as much as ciswomen are women and cismen are men
Honestly I don't even prefer the word gay, I more often than not use the term homosexual because saying your gay comes with a lot of assumptions from other people.
I don't "identity" as anything. I'm male, because I was born male. I don't really fit into any of the societal constructs that most people would consider "manly".
Woman has ALWAYS been a biological term.
You're right of course and I'm getting to that point but it's just very difficult for me to let it go when we're living in a world that's so hateful towards queer people.
I absolutely understand. But in the words of Alfred, some people just want to watch the world burn. He's not here for discussion or an exchange of ideas, he's here to get into fights and piss people off.
Maybe, and that's why I've given up responding to the other guy with the weird smiling avatar pic. But this guy I do feel a certain kinship with as a fellow autistic queer person and it drives me to try and help him.
This image is literally talking about the chemical and physical conditions of various chromosome and hormone combinations. It has nothing to do with any concepts. So how exactly was it debunked?
So the argument is some people are born fucked up.
If you wanna think about it that way, ALL people are born fucked up, we just differ in how
It's a fucked up world that's for sure 😂
Here's a feminist biologist that agrees with me: youtu.be/zfIRTqs45sU?...
Wow! One professional who believes something incorrect! That must mean science is wrong! Why are you like this?
Why do you hate women?
I love women, that's why I'm defending them from you right now.
Only, it's not incorrect.
Good arguement. It is very obviously incorrect. We've known about intersex people forever and gender is different in almost every culture.
My mother taught biology for 30+ years. Gender is a regressive, misogynistic, homophobic concept created by a pedophile doctor to cover up his own malpractice.
That's either a lie or your mother is a very misinformed, bitter, and harmful woman who not only brainwashed you but likely also many young people who would have been much better people if they'd learned biological science from someone who actually believed in it.
Your mother was a hack who didn't understand science.
What's it like to learn how to type with your IQ of 40?
Not sure, I tested in 6th grade with an IQ of 138. Maybe ask @fable1991.bsky.social...
Damn, what happened to you that made you lose almost 100 IQ since then? Most likely a car accident, but I don't want to assume.
I tested at 140 a few years ago. You call me stupid yet you can't even define gender while at the same time sitting there and defending it...
you lost kkkweef. Get over it
Calling a Jew KKK how classy of you. If all you have is personal attacks it's because you don't have a valid counterargument.
Says the guy that won't shut up about IQ.
you lost, kkkweef. Get over it
lying sack of kkk shit. Fuck you for hating America, asshole
you lose, maggot
lying maggot piece of shit
