That’s yet another gross oversimplification. It fails to take into account account the fact that doctors very frequently assign the wrong sex, it completely ignores intersex individuals, not to mention the fact that you’re assigned a sex at birth and not a gender. So maybe, just maybe, biology is more complicated than ‘Hurr durr boy have pee pee and he get blue, girl come out with hoo haa and she get pink’.
I’m claiming that your sex is fixed at birth regardless of if you’re male female or intersex . It’s an unchangeable, DNA-encoded biological characteristic. However, gender is fluid since it is a social, not biological, concept. I never claimed sex was as simple as either being a guy or girl, nor did I reject the idea that it can be seen as a spectrum:
So when people suddenly start developing secondary sex characteristics of another sex at puberty that’s fixed? When people get karyotyped and find out their sex assigned at birth doesn’t match their chromosomes, that’s immutable? There’s no way to have an open, educated conversation about sex and gender while simultaneously dumbing it down to such simple definitions.
Also I might be misinterpreting your statements since text conversations are easily misread, but are you claiming I am not acting in a manner befitting an “open,educated conversation” since I’m expressing an idea that’s different from yours? I find that a little offensive, considering I am doing my best here 😔
