TIL it isn’t a good idea to mention to a cis person—regardless of their sexuality—that bio sex is a construct💀

Wait can you explain what you mean by it being a construct? Do you mean that humans generally just have sexual variety or something (true) or something? I’m interested

unsurprisingly, the oerson who defined sexuality as being based on genitals got upvoted while mine got downvoted. should’ve expected it from the cis queers unfortunately

it’s really just that binary sex is a construct. there’s a practically infinite number of bio sexes (one for each person), and the idea of male/female (and even male/female/intersex) is something we made up. the sexual characteristics of our bodies aren’t made up, but the categories are

Sex includes primary sex organs, secondary hormonal traits, and chromosomes. These aren’t always the same for every person, ie intersex conditions and hormonal conditions like PCOS. There’s more sex variances than most people know because 9/10 no one is figuring to look

exactly. only in the last ~80 years has "sex" taken on a "purely biological" definition, historically sex referred to all aspects of being a man or women. the definition is also highly contested and has shifted over time, ex. with the development of chromosomal analysis. (see image) this is not "naturally occurring", someone decided where exactly those lines fall on that ruler and it is (re)inforced by the medical profession through violence against those who fall outside it.

it’s not just that binary sex isn’t “true”, it’s that sex itself is a social construct. social construct doesn’t mean that something is “false” or “not real” or not based on “material reality”, it just means that something is understood thru shared concepts. time is also a social construct, yes it exists independent of human understanding, but as we understand it that is thru as a social construct (and why people relate to it differently between cultures, just like sex/gender).
