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!"

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.

Good call. They're going off some script or something and they're VERY mad I know about their traps and that I'm not saying their specific keywords to launch into another uneducated rant. Really not up to hearing "define gender" a million times until they get the response they want.

You won't define it because you can't. Whining about being asked what should be such a simple question simply proves my point that you are unable to even answer it...

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.

LGB. LGBs just want to sleep with the same sex. We don't want to be the other sex. Just because I was BORN a certain way doesn't mean I agree with a pedophile doctor from the 50s...

Why are all "LGB without the T" fascists so obsessed with accusing others of pedophilia? Is it because they're unable to understand that people don't share the same sexual attraction they do?

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.

"Gender expression" is based on nothing but outdated harmful stereotypes.

Wrong.

Gays won our acceptance in the 80s and 90s by getting normies to accept that our sexuality was based on SEX. When you make the asinine suggestion that it's based on stereotypes you're inching rather close to the claim that homosexuality is a choice.

Who said anything about stereotypes? And gender expression is a choice, as are all other forms of expression. All contemporary gender scholars agree on that point.

No, it's not. I'm gay, but I'm not attracted to transmen. Never have been, never will be. I want big hard throbbing FUNCTIONAL cock. Just how I was born.

So you're gay but also a bigot. You are aware that Stonewall (the foundational event for all the rights YOU currently enjoy) was started by a Black trans woman, yes?

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.

That's why a lot of us use the word queer because it's a lot more broad in terms of definition.

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".

If you don't fit in as "manly", then there's nothing preventing you from identify as something else if that's what you wanted.

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 😂
