Buck Angel is perceptibly female. I might get confused at first because Buck is bald and bearded, but I would be able to clock them as female. I can do this because I am male, which means I have an easier time spotting if a masculine-presenting person is female. Women can do the same thing for feminine-presenting people.

It's clear Buck is female. There are many clues including voice, hands, stance, demeanor and movement. Many people can pass in a photo but video and IRL there are too many clues. I'm a woman and I can correctly sex people in person or video 100% of the time.

It's easy to say that after the fact. Among people there is quite a variety in voice, appearance, movements, demeanor etc. Insisting that you can always tell with 100% certainty is delusional and I don't believe it for a second

He doesn't look female at all to me.

And are your perceptions the only acceptable ones? Or Are your perceptions universal and some of us simply lie and pretend we perceive differently to you?

What makes your perception of buck more valid than another persons?

When you have people talking about how we all evolved to recognise men and women and how everyone can tell, then the fact that plenty of people can't tell goes contrary to that (though I will say, a trans activist who is obliged to pretend like anyone is whatever they say they are is not the best metric of a person's ability to acknowledge reality).

Sure not everyone is instantly identifiable as their sex but the way GB claims that because she thinks buck looks like a true and honest man we do and basically lie about it is total bullshit.

look =/= being

Anyways, is that, really, the only comment you're going to reply to?
