QT: What's the difference between a man who says he is a woman & a man who doesn't say he is a woman?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: How can there be 'male' or 'female' when humans share at least 80%-90% of their genes with each other? If race is a social construct and is not real because humans share most if not all of their genes with each other, how can biological sex be real and not be a social construct?

submitted by CuteAsDuck from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: I have questions that need answers

submitted by 2oldforschool from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Why are penises, testes, etc considered strictly male organs, and vaginas, uteruses, etc strictly female organs? What's wrong with the view that women have penises, etc too and can produce sperm, or that men have vaginas, uteruses, etc too and can get pregnant?

submitted by BubblyBrush from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: If a neopenis feels and looks like a penis, what makes it not a penis? What is the difference between a neopenis and a penis when they both look and feel similar? I don't get it

submitted by CuteAsDuck from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Can you explain why gender identity does not exist? Don't cisgender people identify as/feel like they are the sex they were assigned at birth? Don't other animals identify as their sex assigned at birth due to lack of cognitive ability to identify as anything but their own sex?

submitted by CuteAsDuck from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: I believe if features are sexed, and secondary sex characteristics are innate to a man or a woman, then sex is determined by secondary sex characteristics and the gender essentialism that tras believe in is true. If you disagree, then tell me your reasons

submitted by MissDimples from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Thoughts on xenogenders and neopronouns? Why should "male" and "female" not be defined to mean one's gender besides sex? And if gender identity is not a real thing, why do cis, trans, nonbinary, etc people exist who have an internal sense of whether they're male, female, both, or neither?

submitted by MissDimples from self.GCdebatesQT

QT: Why are gendered behavioural patterns typically sex-congruent (or rather concordant with their respective gendered socialisation) in trans people?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

Discuss with just facts?

submitted by loveSloaneGCAF from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: If biological sex is just about roles in reproduction, does that mean someone doesn't have a biological sex and isn't a man or a woman if they don't reproduce? And that in the times they do things that don't lead to reproduction, they have no biological sex?

submitted by Nohope from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: What are your thoughts on this pro-trans person's arguments? Can you tell me why their arguments are unsound and why you disagree with them?

submitted by MissDimples from self.GCdebatesQT

QT: If women can be male, wtf is a woman then? What term, if any, should we use to describe the female sex?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: what are the definitions of male and female that do not exclude cis men and cis women who don't produce sperm or egg or removed their genitals?

submitted by BubblyBrush from self.GCdebatesQT

Why this thread?

submitted by Genderbender from self.GCdebatesQT

QT: What about transgender women who are men?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

Both: Why do people keep saying "biologically a man"? There is a word for that: male. Then there are others that say "biologically male" – um, but that's what male is. What other types of 'male' is there?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

Both: what is the gender, or sex ratio of people who transition later in life (30+ year olds)? It seems like zero of them are female, are there stats?

Just for fun: Where are you on the scale?

submitted by worried19 from uploads.ovarit.com

Both: How do you score on this gender role test?

submitted by worried19 from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Why can't the words man and woman be defined as something other than "adult human male" and "adult human female"? And why is it false to say "men can have vaginas/uteruses/etc and women can have penises"?

submitted by AllInOne from self.GCdebatesQT

Both: Would explaining feminist theory using trans activist terms better highlight the discrepancies between the two views on gender?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

If #TransWomenAreNOTWomen ever trended on Twitter, would Twitter be allowed to reveal that, or would it probably hide that fact, because "transphobia"?

submitted by SnowAssMan from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: What's with the gendered languages? Most people say words like "glamorous", "pretty", "cute", etc, can not be used to describe men because they are "feminine" adjectives, and insulting to men. Does any GC here believe reserving those mentioned adjectives for only women is misogynistic?

submitted by Imwatchingyou from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Do you genuinely desire to have more trans men in public positions (i.e. acting, politics)?

submitted by Genderbender from self.GCdebatesQT

Both: How do you feel about the High Court's decision in the Keira Bell case?

Feminism being all inclusive

submitted by loveSloaneGCAF from self.GCdebatesQT

Does GC feminism include trans men?

submitted by Genderbender from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Why isn't a vagina/clitoris a small penis and why isn't a penis a big vagina/clitoris?

submitted by Nohope from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: A female produces eggs and a male produces sperm, so why aren't pre-pubescent kids sexless? And Why are penis, testes, etc male and why are vagina, clitoris, uterus, ovaries, etc female? Why can't penis, testes, etc be female and why can't vagina, clitoris, uterus, ovaries, etc be male instead?

submitted by AllInOne from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: If only two "men", only two "women" or someone on their own can create an embryo/baby, then there is no difference between "man" and "woman", "egg" and "sperm", and they are man-made socially constructed categories that don't actually exist. If you disagree, please explain your reasons

submitted by 2oldforschool from self.GCdebatesQT

Trans people/QT: What is the best or most important thing gender critical people can do to help you?

submitted by Genderbender from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Can you explain why defining sex as the different sized gametes (egg and sperm) is not conflating sexual dimorphism with sex, because I think it is conflating? And can you tell me why sex is binary and is not a bimodal distribution?

submitted by MarcelineKnows from self.GCdebatesQT

Both: Has International Pronouns Day (or other "awareness" days) had any effect on your personal life?

submitted by worried19 from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Why is sex binary and not a bimodal distribution in all sexually reproducing species? Don't hermaphrodites show that sex is not a binary in other sexually reproducing species?

submitted by Bootsinmyshoes30 from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Do male seahorses, and their male relatives, really get "pregnant" and "give birth"?

Opinions on the "twin studies" of gender identity?

submitted by DistantGlimmer from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: Is there any evidence that "femininity" and "masculinity" are not biological and should not be linked with sexual dimorphism? And are there any arguments against "beauty is feminine, not neutral"?

How are trans people oppressed?

submitted by pollyesther from self.GCdebatesQT

Screening/gatekeeping of fictional characters

submitted by [deleted] from self.GCdebatesQT

GC: If female is the default sex and the default phenotype, and males start out as females as an embryo, then does that mean there is only 1 sex, all males are trans men (females who became males), and sex can actually change?

QT/Transmed: Does 'gender dysphoria' exist anymore? The ICD-11 will re-categorise it as a "sexual condition", re-naming it 'gender incongruence', effectively de-pathologising it. In the wake of this update, will it still be a reliable metric for transgender classification?
