Taxonomy concerns classifications, which are human interpretations of already-existing things. These interpretations are shaped by our social world - for instance, racist scientists once claimed that black people were genetically devolved, which we now recognise as nonsense. Transphobia is the same.
Pffffft. What a weak response. Taxonomy works without your socially constructed lens of interpretation. This has nothing to do with transphobia either. It’s a simple scientific inquiry: can a trans woman ovulate ? If yes , she’s a female and therefore a woman. If no, she’s not a female. Binary
That isn't science, that's your opinion, influenced by centuries of patriarchal expectations of women as mothers to men's children. Ovulation exists independent of what some conservatives claim define us. Modern science has moved on from conservative attitudes.
It’s not my opinion , it’s a biological fact that ovulation happens . We call those who ovulate female. Women are adult female humans. Trans women claim to be women. Do they ovulate? No, then they are not women. What you use is just word political word salad.
Ovulation exists; the application of social constructs like "female" and "woman" as an inherent truth is ideological (one that erases more than just trans ppl because it is a patriarchal, not scientific) Modern scientific research has moved past such outdated assumptions. Transphobia keeps it alive
It follows a scientific definition, not a socially constructed one or an ideological one. Demonstrate that claim. Inherent truth is different from textbook definitions. If your not gonna conform to agreed upon terms than why even bother having a discussion? Words are meaningless under your logic.
Yeah let's demonstrate the claim, could you tell me where the scientific proof that our bodies exist under a patriarchally-cultivated inherent gender binary is? "Inherent truth" is that we exist as humans. The genders assigned to bodily functions are socially constructed - not inherent at all.
”Genders assigned to bodily functions are socially constructed” Does that mean I can think I have a vagina and it poofs into existence? You guys need to knock it the fuck off xD
No, gender is just the Christian name for sex as they thought sex sounded to vulgar. Sex means male and female genitalia. Gender identity means what someone identifies as in their brain.
Sex is also a social construct, a grouping of various features into categories we've decided. Outside our patriarchal construction of "male" and "female" there's no proof for the things you say. Modern science recognises this, which is why it's ditched it growinguptransgender.com/2018/11/01/b...
Males produce spermatozoa and females produce ova. It’s true for all flora and fauna. Not just humans. You would have to demonstrate social constructs in bell peppers before you’d gain any scientific ground.
Biased source , again ; activism and not science.
The source includes scientific, peer reviewed journals and data. Scientific, academic, modern. Scientists have to be activist a lot of the time because of rampant fascism and right wing attacks on society, including science at large. If you don't like it, stop being transphobic :)
